Early Childhood Diploma – MTC
Training of Trainers Certificate
Hugh was first introduced to Montessori as a young child while attending an early childhood program. He reconnected with the philosophy later in life while volunteering with children, where he witnessed the profound impact the early years have on individuals, and on the communities and society they become part of. Since completing his early childhood training in 2008, Hugh has worked in the Montessori world as an early childhood guide, teacher trainer, and adolescent guide.
Hugh strongly believes in Dr. Montessori’s mission to better society through the child, and sees quality teacher education as a core component of that mission.
Outside the classroom, Hugh enjoys growing bonsai trees, cheering on the Raptors, training in capoeira, and spending time with his wife and daughter. He hopes that Montessori will one day become the prevailing philosophy of education, from infancy through adulthood.
