We consider early childhood teacher training to be a primary professional responsibility. Our goal is to provide specialized training focused on human development and learning during the first years of children’s lives. We recognize Montessori philosophy and methodology as fundamental to achieving this goal. Our primary focus is on developing teachers who are skilled in understanding child development, capable of reflecting on their professional practice, and equipped with a broad knowledge of Montessori philosophy and practice.
Between the ages of 3 and 6, children are in a sensitive period for learning. At this age, they can enjoy absorbing many concepts that are sometimes difficult if they are applied in a concrete way. In a Montessori classroom, for example, a decimal unit is not simply a number on paper; it is something that the child can hold in his or her hands. These concrete materials are intended to guide the child to the abstract concept in future learning situations.
The name Montessori comes from the founder of this teaching method. The Montessori method brings a philosophy and methodology that was developed over decades through the studies of Maria Montessori. Maria Montessori was a doctor, anthropologist, and scholar of human development. Maria left her medical profession after working with children with disabilities who were surprisingly successful in the academic field due to the attention and focus of her work. Today, the method is found in schools all over the world, in both public and private schools.

Children must work and live in structured environments to feel safe. Since they have this feeling of "inner chaos" and seek to understand many new concepts, they cannot function and develop in an unstructured environment. The Montessori environment is a pleasant environment, where the child feels comfortable because it is organized, calm and they know what to expect.
The Montessori teaching program helps children to have self-control, direction and independence. A child with these skills can easily adjust to any educational structure.
