Montessori Birth to Three

Wisdom for parents and professionals living and working with children in the first three years of life


Begun under the direction of Dr. Maria Montessori, in Rome, Italy 1947, the Assistants to Infancy course has now been held in many countries around the world. Over and over it has been shown to provide children, during the earliest and most impressionable years, with a sense of security, a positive self-image, excellent social skills, habits of concentration and creativity, a level of physical and intellectual development previous thought possible, and a natural and inborn flowering of compassion. 

The courses are taken by parents, parents-to-be, grandparents, doctors, nurses, psychologists, Montessori teachers and teacher trainers, lactation, childbirth, and childcare professionals, and many others interested in human development in the formative years. There are many people training parents and professionals for caring for the child from birth to three.  The courses listed here are directly connected to the original course begun by Dr. Montessori in Rome in 1947.
