AMI 0-3 Orientation Certificate Course
Introduction to Montessori for the Infant Years (Ages 0-3)
Human development and potential are most fundamentally shaped during the first three years of life. The foundation of personality, social skills, and human values are formed during this time. A sound understanding of a child's developmental stage provides environments to meet the needs of the infant and foster a sense of belonging, independence, and language learning, making children feel confident and able.
