What You will Learn...

Philosophy

In this module, you will learn about Maria Montessori, the wonderful woman who scientifically created her methodology to help educate children in a holistic way.

You will learn also about her principles and philosophy which is what makes Montessori work so well.

At the end of this module, you will have a greater understanding of children and be able to see how learning takes place from their perspective. You will also learn about the Montessori prepared environment, how it works and what makes it unique.

This module is an eye-opener to many and will help you prepare for the following modules.

Child Development

This module will take you through understanding your child’s development from 0-6 years:

Physical Development
Intellectual Development
Language Development
Emotional Development
Social Development

You will learn observe and know if a child is not developing as per the norms and what you can do about it.

You will also learn the importance of play and a little about the special needs of children.

Practical Life Activities

Practical life activities are those activities that we do at home on a daily basis…

In this module you will learn how to create / assemble activities in your home and present them the Montessori way. Practical Life Activities teaches children:

Focus & Concentration
Hand-eye coordination
Find & gross motor skills
Problem solving skills
Decision making skills
Vocabulary
Self-Confidence
Self-Esteem

Sensorial Activities

Montessori Sensorial activities help refine children’s 5 Senses: Visual (sight), Auditory (sound), tactile (touch), olfactory (smell) and gustatory (taste) senses.

It is through refining children’s senses that you help their brain development to help them with future learning. The 5 senses also help children to develop problem solving skills and thought processes.

You will learn to present the materials from this area and also create your own Sensorial activities for children. You will see how these materials help children prepare for the future learning of Mathematics too.

Language

You will explore how to introduce Literacy to children in their early years.

Montessori Language takes you through the sounds of the alphabet and introducing early grammar:

Singular & Plural
Nouns , verbs, adverbs, adjectives and pronouns
Word building and sentence building
Comprehension, stories and more

These are all done through activities and materials that you will learn to create and present.

Mathematics

Mathematics is conventionally taught in a very abstract manner that so many adults just either dislike it or have very negative associations with learning it.

Montessori mathematics is the opposite. You will see how math can be taught in a very concrete way leading to a joy for learning and very clear understanding of concepts.

This module will take you through step-by-step in learning how to present to children:

– The decimal systems

– Basic Operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division)

– Introduction to algebra and geometry

Culture

In culture studies, you will learn how we present Zoology, Botany, History and Geography to children in their early years. All these areas are inter-connected and children learn using a variety of materials.

You will learn to make many such materials and to present them in the right way – taking children to learn about the world they live in.

Observation

Observation is seen as one of the most simple, yet effective methods of assessing young children as they develop. For an early childhood educator, observing a child begins with noting how each child behaves, learns, reacts to new situations and interacts with others.

In this module, you will be guided through the process of how to track student behaviour over time, assess children in all areas of development and create detailed documentation to be shared with parents and supervisors.

Curriculum Planning

The goal of Curriculum Planning module is to teach you how to organise the curriculum around a central theme. We will guide you how to take a theme and integrate it into a series of lessons that will stretch across the curriculum, such as Math, Language, EPL, Sensorial Training Cultural Studies and more.

Upon completed you will be equipped with the skills to develop and varied thematic units to use through out the school year with young children.

On completion of this Online Certificate in Montessori Education, you will…

Understand and develop an appreciation of the Montessori philosophy.

Understand children’s development from birth to six years.

Develop an appreciation and understanding of the Montessori materials and the prepared environment.

Have knowledge, understanding and use of various observational techniques.
