Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms, children make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the highly trained teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process. Recently I have purchased Montessori Educational Toys for my Kid from Kid Advance Montessori at an affordable price.

Check with the local Montessori schools to see what qualifications they expect.

I would think that a bachelors degree in education, coupled with extra training in the Montessori philosophy would be desirable. Both programs would provide hands on practice and training, so you probably couldn't complete the entire course online.

In Montessori education, culture refers to the broad study of the world, encompassing geography, history, anthropology, and the natural sciences. It includes activities that help children understand and appreciate different cultures, traditions, and the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. Cultural studies in Montessori aim to foster global awareness, respect for diversity, and a sense of responsibility towards the environment and humanity.

You can find more information on Montessori schools by visiting the American Montessori Society website, searching for local Montessori schools in your area, reading books on Montessori education such as "The Absorbent Mind" by Maria Montessori, or contacting Montessori schools directly to request information packets or schedule a visit.

Mario Montessori's father was Giuseppe Montessori, Maria Montessori's husband. Together, Maria and Giuseppe had Mario, who followed in his mother's footsteps by becoming a prominent figure in the Montessori education movement.
