Are you interested in a career working with children from birth to three and their families? Do you care for young children at home or plan to in the future? Do you want to better understand child development and how to provide the most beneficial environment for young children? MINT’s 0-3 Diploma is perfect for you!
In this course, learners will engage deeply with Montessori theory and its practical applications. Topics covered include basic care of young children from birth, gross and fine motor development, language acquisition, and personality development. In our beautiful training center, students study optimal environments and practice developmentally appropriate activities for children under three. Our graduates leave MINT with a profound understanding of collaborative interactions that allow each and every child to develop to their full potential.
The first three years of life are crucial to each human being’s development as they create the person they will become through their interactions with their most trusted adults. MINT equips its adult learners with the knowledge and skills to provide children with a fundamental sense of belonging and a strong foundation of independence that stays with them throughout their lives.
