Getting a License to Teach Early Childhood Montessori

In the first few years of a child’s life, one million neural connections are formed every second. Early childhood development sets the pace for much of a child’s later learning and social experiences. From language to interacting with their environment, giving a child the best possible start before the age of five will have exponential effects down the road. If you love and want to work with children, the Montessori Method is a tried and trusted approach to early childhood education. Read on to find out how you can start down a rewarding career path and get a Montessori teaching license in McKinney, TX.

Choosing the Montessori Method

The Montessori Method is a trusted approach to preschool teaching chosen by teachers and parents in countries around the world. The approach was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian educator and pioneer in the field of education. In the early 1900s, she worked with underprivileged children to test and validate new approaches to teaching that would challenge the strict rote memorization and discipline of earlier schoolhouses. After observing how self-directed learning created motivation in children, she formed a curriculum that is freer and focuses on hands-on, individual learning.

Organized learning environments with more freedom to choose learning areas create better outcomes for curious kids, and today there are thousands of Montessori preschools. The three main components of Montessori are:

• The Structured Environment: You will learn about the best ways to arrange the physical learning space to provide children with areas that encourage them to become independent learners.
• The Montessori Curriculum: You will be trained in the accepted national curriculum through this comprehensive teaching program.
• The Montessori Teacher: You will become an expert in how to observe, guide, and facilitate each individual child’s education. You will help children develop a love of learning that can last a lifetime.

At ICME, we offer flexible class structure and comprehensive licensing so you can master this widely sought approach to early-child education.
