In order to serve the growing need for Montessori certified teachers at the early childhood education level throughout the world, MINT is proud to offer a three-summer program leading to the internationally recognized diploma of the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). Founded in 1929 by Dr. Maria Montessori, the AMI is the internationally recognized authority in Montessori education. The focus of the course is a preparation for future work with children between the ages of 2 1/2 to 6 years. The course also serves as a dynamic introduction to the laws of human development, and is therefore applicable to many fields of endeavor.
