Module 1: Introduction to Montessori (3–6 Classroom Guide)
This Montessori training manual offers a comprehensive introduction to the Montessori method, highlighting its unique principles and practices. It begins with an in-depth look at the life and legacy of Dr. Maria Montessori, the pioneer behind this educational model. Following this, the module examines her core educational philosophy and the essential elements of the Montessori approach. Topics such as sensitive periods in child development, the preparation of the Montessori environment, and the importance of mixed-age groupings are thoroughly covered. Additionally, this guide provides a structured overview to help you navigate the remaining 8 modules of the course.
Key topics featured in this guide include:

- – Classroom Organization and Management in a Montessori Setting
Module 2: Montessori Exercises of Practical Life (EPL)
Montessori Exercises of Practical Life (EPL) involve children performing everyday tasks commonly performed by adults in their environment. These activities are genuine, rooted in real-life situations, and when introduced at the right developmental stage, they enable children to perform tasks independently, fostering a lifelong sense of self-sufficiency.
This Montessori training manual presents a comprehensive range of step-by-step activities, from basic tasks like pouring water from a jug to more advanced ones such as washing dishes. These exercises are designed to meet a child’s natural desire to engage in purposeful work, encouraging active participation within the family and broader community. By promoting independence, instilling a love for work, building self-esteem, refining motor skills, developing good habits, and supporting the child’s overall normalization, these activities play a vital role in their holistic development.
Module 3: Montessori Exercises of Sensorial Development
Our senses play a pivotal role in shaping how we perceive and understand the world, acting as key channels for receiving external information. During a child’s formative years, particularly within the sensitive period for sensory development, it is crucial to provide rich opportunities for sensory engagement with their environment.
This detailed Montessori training manual offers an in-depth exploration of Montessori sensorial exercises, featuring full-color, step-by-step illustrations and images. It covers a wide range of sensory activities, including visual, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, and auditory exercises. These activities are specifically designed to stimulate the child’s senses, supporting their comprehensive exploration and deeper understanding of the world around them.
Module 4: Montessori Language (Manual A)
The Montessori language curriculum takes a holistic approach, offering developmentally appropriate activities and materials to nurture all aspects of language development, including phonics, reading, writing, grammar, and oral communication.
This Montessori training manual provides a structured guide for progression in phonics, offering a comprehensive plan for practicing the 44 phonetic sounds of the English language and their 144 alphabetic representations. It outlines activities that help children progress from reading simple three-letter phonetic words (pink level) to more complex phonetic words (blue level), high-frequency sight words, and phonograms (green level), and eventually achieving total reading proficiency.
In addition, the manual introduces the use of metal insets to develop the fine motor skills essential for pencil control. Sandpaper letters are also used to familiarize children with the correct formation of alphabet letters. These hands-on activities are integral to supporting children’s language development and literacy skills.
Module 5: Montessori Mathematical Exercises (Manual A)
This Montessori curriculum manual/album delves into Dr. Montessori’s groundbreaking mathematics materials, which continue to earn admiration from mathematicians even today. These materials—including number rods, sandpaper numbers, spindle boxes, number cards, and counters—offer children hands-on learning opportunities to master fundamental concepts such as counting, quantity recognition, and numeral association up to ten.
The manual also explores exercises focused on the Decimal System, which are typically conducted using golden bead materials and corresponding number cards. These activities provide children with concrete experiences in addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division.
Furthermore, the manual covers exercises in Linear and Skip Counting, guiding children through counting up to one hundred and eventually one thousand. These activities promote a deeper comprehension of numerical concepts, laying a solid foundation for mathematical proficiency.
Module 6: Montessori Language (Manual B)
Montessori children frequently reach impressive linguistic and literacy milestones before the age of six, often leaving observers amazed by their achievements.
This manual covers writing, sorting, and grammar exercises within the Montessori language curriculum. It integrates activities such as chalkboard writing and alphabet sorting to strengthen children’s writing abilities. Additionally, the manual introduces word functions, familiarizing children with various parts of speech through the use of concrete symbols. By engaging in farmhouse exercises, children learn to construct phrases and sentences, deepening their understanding of language structure and grammar.
Module 7: Montessori Mathematical Exercises (Manual B)
This Montessori training manual explores advanced Montessori mathematics activities, expanding on the foundational skills introduced with earlier exercises given in Manual 5. For instance, Bead chain exercises help children develop skills in linear and skip counting while engaging games—such as the snake games and the stamp game—introduce more abstract approaches to the four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Additionally, the manual features exercises for memorizing mathematical tables with bead stairs, small number rods, multiplication board, unit division board, and charts for addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division.
Module 8: Montessori Cultural Exercises 1 – Geography and History Exercises
In a Montessori classroom, experiences in life sciences (botany & zoology), physical sciences, history, geography (man-made and natural), arts, dance, and music are given to the child under the header of cultural exercises. The Montessori cultural studies curriculum provides children with an opportunity to explore the whole world including the continents, countries, people, cultures, terrain, natural phenomena, sciences, and arts.
This module covers the entire geography and history component of the “Montessori Culture Curriculum“.
Module 9: Montessori Cultural Exercises 2 – Zoology, Botany and Science Experiments
During their early years, children are naturally drawn to all elements of nature, from plants to animals. Fostering a deep connection with the natural world and offering meaningful experiences is essential for their holistic development. Engaging with nature cultivates a sense of wonder, curiosity, and respect for the environment, while also promoting physical, emotional, and cognitive growth. These experiences nurture a child’s innate curiosity and inspire a lifelong appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
This manual covers the natural sciences component of the “Montessori Culture Curriculum” and contains all Montessori Zoology and Botany exercises. There is a bonus of 27 everyday science activities/experiments.
