It depends on the specific programme. Montessori education is organised around developmental stages, so you should check whether the course is designed for early childhood, elementary ages or a broader overview.
What this means in practice
Many introductory Montessori teacher-training courses focus strongly on children roughly between ages 2 or 3 and 6 because this is a common early-years Montessori stage. Other programmes can address infant-toddler or elementary practice.
A course title alone may not tell you the full age scope. Look at the curriculum, examples, materials and learning outcomes to see which developmental stage receives the most attention.
What should you check before deciding?
- Published learner age range
- Curriculum topics and Montessori materials
- Whether elementary practice is included
- School expectations for the role you want
Important distinction
Montessori age groupings and staff qualification requirements vary between schools and jurisdictions.
