Celebrating Forty-Three Years Of
Excellence, Innovation And Leadership
The Michigan Montessori Teacher Education Center was founded in 1969, and is one of
the foremost Montessori teacher training institutions in the country. Housed in one of Michigan's premier Montessori schools, MMTEC offers complete training in the Montessori Method, taught by a highly qualified and diverse faculty. Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician in the early 1900's, discovered the remarkable and effortless ability of children to absorb knowledge from their surroundings. Inspired by this simple and profound truth, she developed educational materials, curricula, methodology, and teacher training techniques to further the children's self-creating processes. MMTEC teaches the essence of Dr. Montessori's principles and unique and inspiring techniques, while preparing its students for the challenges of today's children and families. MMTEC's current and interactive lecture format meets the needs of all learning styles of the adult student. Our faculty is comprised of highly qualified and experienced professionals, with teaching backgrounds in private, charter and public school programs. Our instructors share their expertise in the Montessori curriculum as well as in other arenas, including professional counseling, administration and business. For 43 years, MMTEC's mission has been to share the wonder of the Montessori philosophy with people at all economic levels, and to facilitate the development of Montessori Education locally, nationally and internationally. |  "The child should love everything that he learns, for mental and emotional growth are linked.
Whatever is presented to him must be made
beautiful and clear, striking his imagination.
Once this love has been kindled, all problems
confronting the educationalist will disappear."
Dr. Maria Montessori
