Montessori Team Training

Why provide training for your teachers?

It is very common to see a high rate of turnover of teachers in any preschools / school. This is because every now and then teachers need something more to challenge them and to learn something new. After all, things do get monotonous if you just keep doing the same thing over and over again, year after year.

A meaningful training program for your teachers…

Keeps them motivated & excited about their job
Inspires them
Makes them feel that you care for them
Helps them grow as a person
Helps them feel secure staying with you.

Why Schools Love Us…

I have been working with children all my adult life, but did not find the satisfaction of making a difference. Thanks to the Montessori philosophy, I am renewed in thoughts and views, very motivated, and I am confident that I can now make a difference. As a working mother, this program has given me the opportunity to learn with ease from home with the support of a great coach. It has helped me to grow as a parent, person and as a teacher. For those of you out there, if you are thinking of it... JUST DO IT!

Anita-Mandiratta

Learning is a continuous process. This online learning experience of mine led me to meet Dr. Maria Montessori. Her philosophy and principles in educating young minds awakened a new sensibility on my teaching. I was amazed by the way she prepared the classroom environment - in which the materials are designed for a hands-on activity that stimulates the thinking and creativity of the child. I learnt about “The 3- Hour Work cycle,” which fosters focus and concentration on children. I also learnt about the principle of training teachers to become like directors and directresses that simply observe & direct the child to the materials. Thank you for this wonderful experience! It is a great privilege for me to become one of your followers, while teaching and inspiring young educators to do the same as well.
