OVERVIEW - THE MONTESSORI METHOD

"Education should no longer be mostly imparting of knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentialities. When should such education begin? Our answer is that the greatness of human personality begins at birth."
Dr. Maria Montessori, Education for a New World

The Assistants to Infancy Training Course prepares adults for the task of helping young children to develop the fullness of their individual human potential. The course provides an opportunity to study, in depth, Montessori pedagogy and practices along with current medical and psychological approaches to child development.

A continuous focus of study during the academic year is the characteristics of the child from 0 to 3 years of age, the needs expressed during this stage of development, and the means we have available to assist the child's work of self-construction.
