“I found the online format of the Orientation very helpful in order to fit this training in around my busy work schedule. Naoko provided a lovely bridge to access Montessori theory, as well as practical discussion of real-life examples.”

“This course is a really good foundational course to take for those that do not know much about Montessori. It has helped me greatly in my work and in becoming a better Assistant to my teacher.”
