MMEF News Updates - 3-6, 0-3 & Te Papa!
Kia Ora Koutou MMEF Supporters
Congratulations to the Students of the 2020-2022 AMI Diploma!
Another Diploma course concludes - one which will be affectionately referred to as the 'course of all courses' as the students traversed a blend of online and onsite course delivery and very often at a moment's notice.
At the recent whakanui/graduation Director of Training, Carol Potts acknowledged the resilience, commitment, and sheer determination of the students as they studied tirelessly over the past two years - ultimately to champion the cause of tamariki and to apply Montessori principles to a wide range of experiences in the future [plus five students not appearing here].

Why AMI Training?
We often hear this question...
Montessori education supports the development of the whole tamaiti and is an educational approach that is offered in more than 140 countries across the world. The Association Montessori International (AMI) offers diploma courses that are respected worldwide. AMI is the association that Maria Montessori founded to continue her work, and AMI teacher training courses are renowned for their quality, integrity, and authenticity.
An AMI diploma can lead to a career as a kaiārahi/guide in a Montessori environment in N.Z. or around the world, a Montessori centre administrator or owner, mentor, consultant or trainer.
AMI 0-3 Diploma Update - Carli Hausler, Trainer in Training
Wonderfully, we have 4 students from Aotearoa studying towards the AMI 0-3 diploma in Brisbane, Australia with Director of Training, Julia Hilson.
In May, we had the opportunity of our first face-to-face two-week module. This time offered our students hands-on experiences with the materials as we looked closely at the aspects of working with tamariki in communities (toddlers and infants). It was both illuminating and validating and ...there's a lot to do before we meet again in September - kia kaha!
