Play in Montessori Education

"As adults, we often consider play as a simple source of entertainment that occupies a child’s time. Play is more than what children do when they aren’t ‘working’ or what they do in their free time/break time. It is a fundamental aspect of their growth and development and should be encouraged and embraced for the crucial role it plays in the developing child." 

Sarah Cummins, Chairperson, Montessori Society AMI (UK)

The Maria Montessori Institute (MMI) is a registered charity which promotes the authentic educational approach first developed by Maria Montessori.

This is achieved by providing:

1. AMI teacher training for age levels 0-3, 3-6, 6-12 and 12-18 years
2. Schools located at several sites serving children from 2 to 12 years
3. Short courses and workshops aimed at parents and anyone interested in supporting the lives of children
4. Outreach projects underpinned by Montessori principles
