From Our Graduates
“I feel honoured taking this AMI Montessori teacher-training course for children ages 3 – 6 at the Foundation. Through studying [the] course, I was able to realize that the holistic approach of Montessori education is what truly helps children reach their fullest potential in all life domains and develop a love for lifelong learning. I was able to understand that this approach could provide the child with the keys to a more peaceful world and to freely explore the universe.”
Nermeen, FME 3-6 Diploma Course Graduate, 2017
“My studies at FME changed my life. I re-learned fundamental math and language skills that I never learned growing up. I fostered a new way of being with children and understanding their development. Sandra is so passionate, warm and funny; it made lectures always inviting, interesting and comical. Thank you FME! If I could afford it, I would take the course again!”
Jamie, FME 3-6 Diploma Course Graduate, 2016
“I would say this is the best place to study Montessori and be trained to be [a]Montessori guide or assistant. I highly recommend FME because it has changed the way I understand the children as an ECE and I am so grateful that I truly became an educator and a guide for the children thanks to FME. Felt so privileged to be taught by awesome instructors here!”

From Montessori School Administrators
“Throughout the training I always felt supported and valued and could find the information and answers to my questions as a result. The curriculum was offered in a manner that helped me understand the effectiveness of my role and it has also indirectly supported me and prepared me for my work as an administrator and Head of School. I believe strongly that the reason Montessori has remained so strong with me decades later is because of how the Primary course was shared with us and not simply imparted to us. I strongly recommend the Foundation for Montessori Education for any candidate seeking to fulfill their dream in becoming a Montessori guide and to have a true understanding of the development and support for children.”
Gino, FME Primary Course Graduate 1998, Montessori School Administrator
“Montessori training was a highpoint in my life for sure. I received my diploma from FME in 1993. The late Mrs. Renilde Montessori (and Mrs. Sandra Girlato, in Training of Trainers [Program] at the time) offered an experience that was life changing. The knowledge and high expectations of the trainers provided a most thorough study of Montessori pedagogy. Coupled with their elegance and grace (and that of the atmosphere and environment as well) it was a perfect combination to send graduates off into their careers with confidence of sound theory, practical experience and humility to continue to learn always.”
Anissa, FME Primary Course Graduate 1993, Montessori School Administrator
