1.
Montessori Philosophy and Methods
The
principles of child development are the main focus that
enables us to understand Montessori philosophy and theories.
We do not want to have complacent children, but eager,
independent and joyful ones. As Montessori said "We
seek to sow life in the child rather than theories, to
help him in his growth, mental and emotional as well as
physical, and for that we must offer grand and lofty ideas
to the human mind"
Teachers are taught the Montessori philosophy and approach
to education. The specific ways of using the Montessori
Apparatus in a specially prepared environment.

Montessori Curriculum ( Exercises of Practical Life, Sensorial,
Language, Mathematics and Cultural )
The
development and the process of learning through scientific
methods of observation and experimentation enable Montessori
teachers to understand and appreciate the different areas
of Montessori Curriculum.
The detailed demonstration on the didactic materials and
lots of opportunity to explore and practice with these
materials, enable the Montessori teachers to discover
the hidden secrets of the materials. Their discovery and
professionalism will enable them to help children learn
and develop at their own pace.

3. Child Development, Psychology & Observation
"Adults
look upon a child as something empty that is to be filled
through their own efforts, as something inert and helpless
for which they must do everything, as something lacking
an inner guide and in constant need of inner direction.
. . "
-M. Montessori -
An adult who acts in this way, even though she may be
convinced that she is filled with zeal, love, and a spirit
of sacrifice on behalf of her child, unconsciously suppresses
the development of the child's own personality
