Early Childhood Montessori Education Training Program

Our mission is to provide children with the best possible educators : individuals who respect the child and can support each child's needs. Teacher candidates will explore the necessary tools to foster the child's growth and development while providing "hands-on" experiences that will encourage the child to develop a lifelong love and enthusiasm for discovery and learning.

Elementary Montessori Education Program

The goal of this Montessori Elementary Education Course is to provide a thorough understanding of The Secret of Childhood, to help them gain insights into the true nature of the child (6-9), to model the use of an impressive array of invaluable learning tools, and to demonstrate how respect for the child's "inner teacher" serves as the integrating principle for effective elementary education.

Dr. Daniel Jutras, Founder and Director of the Canadian Montessori Teacher Education Institute passing "the flame" to new Montessori Teachers and Educators at the Graduation ceremony.
I was amazed to learn so much was there to offer to a child from 5 different sections of this course. It was fabulous. it was a beautiful experience to know that a child could learn so much from these different areas of learning that arouses their interest and not letting them get bored or overwhelmed and discouraged even a bit. This curriculum was amazing and full of learning and thought provoking.

It was a very informative program and I would recommend it to anyone who is seeking information and wants to be inspired as I was in the Montessori method. 
Alia J. Montréal

By the way I never had the chance to express my gratitude for the quality of the course I took with you. It made me in what I am right now and over the years I got many compliments on my way of teaching but the one that stood out was from an experienced teacher who said to me: Isabela, you have taught me to have faith in the child and see beyond the child that is now in front of me. And I know this came from you. You always told us to see the child who is becoming, the one that is not here now. 

And I thank you for this! 

And I know I will never ever be that Montessori teacher I had to work with over time, the inflexible and negative and with so little hope in the amazing qualities and the Universe that lie in child. My best regards, Isabela, from Toronto 

Very new concepts never founded before in an educational way

It is a transforming experience. I am very grateful for everything that I learned, for all the support and guidance that I received.
