Foundational & Assistant Training:
seeds of transformation
In a thriving Montessori environment, assistants and support staff are not just helping hands—they are essential partners in fostering independence, curiosity, and calm. This foundational training honors the vital role they play, offering practical tools and deep insights to ensure their presence aligns beautifully with Montessori principles.
