Our BA (Hons) Montessori Early Childhood Studies degree is the right course for you if you’re interested in working in a Montessori and Early years context. This first of its kind, this course will develop your knowledge enabling you to become a competent Montessori teacher. You’ll unpick the Montessori method of education focusing on the 3 elements of the Montessori Dynamic triangle: the child, the environment and the teacher. We’ll work together to explore the Montessori materials and the presentations that support children’s learning and development, giving them opportunity for self-direction, while you guide them on their journey to self-discovery. Focusing on Montessori’s own writings you’ll study her own theories of the secrets of childhood and on the importance of educating the children’s potential. You’ll learn from staff who are academics and qualified Montessori practitioners. During your studies you’ll reflect on child development, cosmic education, social justice, inclusion, you’ll develop your ability to critically reflect on experiences and will have a broad and balanced societal view supported by theoretical knowledge and research evidence. Over the 3 years of the course you’ll work towards achieving the core early years graduate practitioner competencies, that ensure you qualification is full and relevant for a Montessori graduate. You’ll be able to study flexibly with us, on-campus or distance learning and we’ll equip you with the knowledge and skills to enter an ever-changing early years workplace and make a difference to the children you work with. It is important to us that you graduate as a well-rounded individual, with a passion for the Montessori method and early years children. So, throughout our course we’ll provide the necessary support and tools for you to succeed.
