Normally when you think about Montessori training courses, you think about Montessori teacher training courses. We've recently come to find that Montessori teachers are not the only one's who can take advantage of these useful Montessori courses.

Montessori parent training is a great way for parents to get involved with their preschoolers education. There are non-credit courses available for parents and homeschoolers.

Main Benefits of Taking These Courses for Parents and Homeschoolers

• Create an engaging learning environment

• Increase focus in your child’s attention

• Teach your child to read

• Stimulate your child’s mathematical mind

• Unlock the child’s full potential and innate talents

There is a great Montessori parent training service with online courses starting soon! We highly recommend taking a look at Age of Montessori and their parent training courses.

Components of the Non-Credit Course

The non-credit option includes training for homeschoolers, parents, administrators, and anyone desiring to know more about the timeless insights of world renowned medical doctor and educator, Maria Montessori.  The non-certification option only includes Step 1, Online Study.  Upon successful completion of Part 1, non-credit students will receive a Certificate of Attendance.

We encourage non-credit students to engage in the discussion forums, but you are not required to do reading, writing, or presentation assignments.  However, you are welcome to participate in any of the class assignments.  The more you participate, the more you will get out of the course.

Non-credit students are not required to take final exams and will not be eligible to attend the Intensive or to intern.
