Assistant Centered Workshops at HMEI!
Hope Montessori Educational Institute offers in-person workshops at our beautiful Lake Saint Louis campus for assistant guides throughout the year.  These workshops explore Montessori from the perspective of the assistant guide and are a great way to deepen your understanding of Montessori, the role of the assistant guide in the environment, and developing as a professional.  Missouri professional development hours will be available for each session.
