Programs
The Center for Montessori Educators prepares future Montessori Teachers in the educational system using the philosophy and theory of Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and teacher. This education is designed to lead to Certification/Diploma in Montessori teaching within a specified child age range. CME currently provides courses designed for these child age levels:
Early Childhood (ages 2 1/2 through 6)
Elementary I (ages 6 through 9)
A good candidate for a Montessori Teacher would be one that is an active and curious learner. They must respect a child's unique learning needs, and have an interest and respect for her/his students. Coursework for a Montessori Teacher will range from classroom lectures, written coursework and hands on training. This mixture is designed so graduates feel comfortable working in a Montessori classroom, are experienced with the model of education, and who will understand the principles of a Montessori education well enough that they are able to adapt to any given situation.
