Montessori Teacher Education Programs

It is the mission of HMEI to insure the transmission of quality Montessori education through the development of teachers and schools that nurture creativity, curiosity, compassion, respect and a joyfulness for life. Our objective extends beyond educating adult learners in the technical and procedural requirements for acquiring Montessori certification.

Testimonials

“New to Montessori program and curriculum, the training that I received through HMEI, not only immersed me in Montessori knowledge, it provided me a wealth of experiential resources so that I could practice and live the Montessori philosophy. Each one of the trainers, from practical life to the development of the child, exemplified the graciousness, joy, and commitment to the curriculum they taught. I left the training center thoroughly prepared to be a first time, 3-5-year-old, classroom instructor. The time spent working with HMEI students and staff left me with a Montessori family I can easily call on for help and support. I wholeheartedly recommend HMEI for a renewal certification or, like me, the beginning of a long road as a Montessori practitioner!”

Testimonials

“Our Montessori school has employed multiple HMEI graduates and we plan to continue to do so for many years to come. Each Montessori teacher we have employed from HMEI has been thoroughly prepared in all facets for Montessori education. The HMEI graduates have a wonderful support system that continues after they graduate. We feel so fortunate to have such a strong Montessori teacher education program in our area. It enhances our school and all other schools that come in contact with it.”

Testimonials

“I had a wonderful experience as a student of HMEI. The instructors exemplified grace and courtesy, which is truly the foundation of a successful Montessori environment. The instructors were also very experienced and knowledgeable about the materials and classroom management. I could not have been happier with my HMEI experience!”

Rachel Bressler / HMEI Graduate, 2016

Testimonials

“I am working in an Infant class as a Montessori educator now and also working on getting a Master’s degree in education from University of Missouri-St. Louis. I don’t think I would be who I am today without having taken this training at HMEI. I have learned so much from all the instructors and I feel privileged to have their help and support when needed. The most important thing I got from this training program was figuring out what I want to do in my life and how to improve myself in this lifelong journey as a Montessori educator.”
