Katia, Montessori Foundation Degree graduate says:
“I’m originally from Mexico and moved to the UK in 2008. After working as a nanny for over ten years, I wanted to deepen my understanding of children’s behaviour and how best to support their development. I had heard of Montessori and decided I wanted to train as a Montessori teacher.
I started studying with the Maria Montessori Institute in 2018 and graduated with a Foundation Degree in Montessori Pedagogy (AMI 3-6) awarded by the University of East London in the summer of 2020. I also gained the coveted AMI Diploma 3-6 which is recognised by Montessori schools all over the world and all Maria Montessori Institute Foundation Degree students also gain this qualification. I chose the degree route rather than the AMI Diploma course as I didn’t have a degree and I wanted to gain the degree-level qualification but it also gave me the opportunity to access UK student loan funding for my study.
