Who This Course Is For

For educators ready to deepen their Montessori practice.

MTA055 is designed for learners who want more than a general introduction. It supports educators, assistants and leaders to connect Montessori theory with practice, documentation, the prepared environment and the EYLF.

Early childhood educators

Build a stronger understanding of Montessori principles, the prepared environment, observation, documentation and reflective professional practice.

Montessori assistants

Gain confidence in your role by understanding how Montessori philosophy, adult preparation and purposeful materials support children’s development.

Directors and leaders

Support shared professional language across your team and provide staff with structured, assessed Montessori professional learning.

Assessment & Certificate

A more rigorous pathway than general participation.
