About Montessori Teachers College

"We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being." - Dr.Maria Montessori

About Montessori Teachers College

Since inception in 2005, Montessori Teachers College aims to ignite the flame of a quality Montessori education in each of our Montessori teachers which respectfully and intelligently nurtures, guides and follows the child in a beautifully prepared Montessori environment.

Montessori Teachers College’s objective extends far beyond educating adult learners in the Montessori philosophy and methodology and the technical and procedural requirements for acquiring Montessori certification. The certification is a by-product of our mission to ignite our adult learners’ passion to appreciate and respect through observation, the child’s spirit and love of learning and exploring for themselves. By preparing our adult learners for the responsibilities of leadership within the Montessori community, we hope to enable and empower them to carry the light of Dr. Maria Montessori’s brilliant work into the future.

Through this and through the promotion and advancement of quality Montessori education, Montessori Teachers College hopes to make a meaningful contribution to a more understanding, caring, harmonious and peaceful world for generations to come.

Montessori Teachers College has been supporting the Adult Learners and community for over 15 years. We offer MACTE accredited Diploma programs, Certificate programs, Upgrades, Workshops and Refresher courses. With our options for in-person and online classes, we strive to identify each one of our adult learners needs and help work towards their short and long-term goals. 

In addition to the traditional Teaching Programs, Montessori Teachers College is proud to be the only Montessori College in Canada offering educational programs for the elderly. Click HERE to find out more information in regard to our Montessori Dementia Program.
