Is it right for you?
Montessori training suits teachers who want to work in Montessori houses or bring Montessori ideas into a pre-primary classroom. APTTI's page notes that Montessori training is not regulated by government education boards, but private pre-schools and early learning centres accept it.
How it relates to pre-primary teacher training
