Training grounded in Montessori philosophy and child development so that teachers can raise children who love to learn.
Each area of the Montessori curriculum builds on the last. When you understand why — not just what — you can adapt to any child, any classroom, any question.
Area 1
The first activities. Children settle, develop concentration, and learn to wait or choose another activity when one is in use.
→ Builds the foundation for all else
Area 2
Refines the senses. Prepares the child for holding a pencil and recognising letter shapes — prepared to write without yet holding a pencil.
→ Prepares for language and arithmetic
Area 3
Develops awareness of sounds, prepares for writing and reading, enriches vocabulary.
→ From sound awareness to reading and writing
Area 4
Concrete quantities, decimal system, four operations — through physical, hands-on experience.
→ Concrete to abstract mathematical thinking
