Me pareció super completo, tratò todos los temas que definen a la metodología montessori de una manera muy especifica y organizada. Este curso me aporta muchísimo en el manejo del idioma ingles y enriquece de una manera muy positiva mi labor como docente. Mucas gracias quedo completamente satisfecha con las expectativas del curso.

Mind blowing on the fact that children are capable of doing things on their own, and we are as an adult just there to observe and support them when they ask for help and give it accordingly.

Thank you for sharing this. It means a lot to me. I've learned new things. Continue sharing your knowledge to everyone especially for who are dreaming of becoming a Montessori Teacher.

The most helpful aspect of the course was the explanation of the way the curriculum helps the child develop certain concepts and skills. The main emphasis was on the curriculum so if you want to know that, sign up for this course. I would love to see a detailed version of each and every material used in Montessori education and the way a child can tweak it, play it and use it to understand a concept.

By Aneka Noor on 1/26/2022

I really like the course. I learn all the new concepts with multiple examples. The course was precised and explained in simple words with daily use examples. I will definately recommend this course to my fellows.
