Montessori Teacher Training
How can you become a Montessori professional?
Becoming a Montessori kaiako is the beginning of a lifelong journey as an educator and advocate for tamariki (children)/rangatahi (adolescenses).
There are many Montessori teacher education organisations and courses offered around the globe. Currently, we only have Montessori 3-6 year and 3-5 year trainings in New Zealand, though Maria Montessori Education Foundation (MMEF) does, at times, offer Orientation courses in 0-3 and 6-12 years.
