Montessori Orientation (3-6 yrs)
(Teaching Assistant Certificate Course)
This course trains adults who are interested in becoming assistant teachers in a Montessori school, as well as helping parents to understand the Montessori principles in-depth and apply the approaches at home.
Other than the scheduled live sessions with the AMI trainers, the course participant will also have access to videos, reading materials as well as guidance on material makings.

Through this course, you will:
- Understand the Montessori principles and guidelines that should underpin activities that we set up for children in any area
