2026 Reconnect Series
SMTC is excited to present The Reconnect Workshop Series for 2026 with five live online workshops, one in each of the 0-3, 3-6, 6-12 and 12-18 age-levels, plus Leadership with inspiring AMI Trainers from around the world.
The 4-hour workshops are designed to support educators to reconnect with important aspects of their practice, which we know are often challenging, in order to shine a light on how Montessori guides can best aid those in their care through each stage of development.
Each workshop is $95 plus GST. We offer a group discount for schools of 5 bookings for the price of 4; or 10 bookings for the price of 8. The bookings for the Reconnect Workshop Series can be across the age-levels. Please contact us to arrange group bookings at [email protected].
