about us
First Children is a representative of the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) in South Africa, working to make high-quality AMI training more accessible. We support the establishment of Montessori diploma and certificate courses, ensuring that educators, parents, and institutions can receive authentic Montessori training aligned with AMI Global standards.
Our mission is to offer AMI training to South Africa while making it as affordable and accessible as possible, so that more communities can benefit from Montessori education.
The AMI Montessori 6–12 program prepares educators to guide children in their second plane of development (ages 6–12), focusing on fostering independence, imagination, and a moral sense through an integrated, research-based curriculum.
