The Montessori movement is taking an important step towards developing its own graduate workforce with the launch of a foundation degree in Montessori Early Childhood Practice. Validated and developed in partnership with London Metropolitan University, it is designed to provide a degree level qualification for Montessori practitioners.
This vocationally based level 5 qualification combines elements of the London Metropolitan's Early Childhood Studies degree with Montessori pedagogy for working with children from birth to seven years.
Barbara Isaacs, academic director at the Montessori Centre International (MCI) in London, says the foundation degree will develop high levels of professional competence in students wishing to become Montessori teachers and aspiring to achieve a full BA (Hons) Degree in Early Childhood Studies. Graduates will have opportunities to progress towards Early Years Professional Status and Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) programmes.
