Montessori teaching is an alternative teaching method for young children which is applied in a preschool setting and focuses on a child’s activity and observing their behaviour. The number of Montessori schools in Ireland grew in recent years as more parents sought t o provide their children with such education.
Montessori/Early Years Teachers prepare an environment that provides activities through which a child is awakened to the realities and demands of his/her culture, time and place.The teacher is the link between the Child and his/her environment.
Young children are very impressionable and as a Montessori teacher you must be aware that you are a role model. There is a wide range of institutions offering Montessori training.
