Infant/Toddler 0-3 Program
The Montessori Infant/Toddler (I/T 0-3) Certification focus is on understanding the unique developmental changes that take place in the first three years of life. While other levels certainly focus on understanding child development, they put enhanced emphasis on specific materials and Montessori curriculum. At the Infant- Toddler level, the child is the curriculum. It is essential for Montessori Infant/Toddler Guides to have a comprehensive understanding of the young child so they can be an aid to their development. We have developed a comprehensive program which integrates Montessori philosophy and best practices for infants and toddlers with the latest research in brain and child development.
The MGTEI Infant/Toddler Teacher Certification is composed of 12 components and presents weekly lectures with a deep and comprehensive exploration of the Montessori approach for children’s youngest years. Adult learners complete a variety of meaningful assignments which relate directly to their classroom experience and provide opportunities for practical application of the course material. Weekly interactions with instructors and fellow adult learners build a rich and supportive learning community providing additional opportunities for integration of course topics.
