Over the 3 sessions of 3 hours each Heidi will explore:

·      How Montessori theory helps us gain a deeper understanding of the young child

EYLF Integration Course: Aligning Authentic Montessori Practice with the EYLF

This practical course delivered online via zoom by AMI 3-6 Trainer, Amy Kirkham, is designed to help educators and educational leaders in early years and childcare settings enhance their skills and knowledge to fulfil the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) standards whilst staying true to authentic Montessori practice. 

Now in its second year, the EYLF Integration Course has been enhanced to include both live online and recorded sessions, as well as expanded content that delves even deeper into practical strategies for implementing the Early Years Learning Framework whilst retaining or enhancing authentic practice. For some, the course may help to reintroduce aspects of authentic practice that have fallen by the wayside in connection with approaches to the EYLF.

Would you like to have more confidence with communicating how the Montessori approach meets and exceeds the EYLF standards?

Have you been disheartened or frustrated by hearing “you have to…” or ” the EYLF says you can’t…” resulting in less authenticity in your Montessori program?

Or perhaps you would like to understand how authentic Montessori practice can also satisfy the EYLF?

Join us online via zoom for two Monday evenings each term over the 2025 year, to explore the fusion of authentic Montessori principles and practice with the EYLF.

Commences Monday 24 February 2025 at 6.30pm AEDT.

Theory into Practice Series (TiPS)

TiPS is a skills based, development series facilitated by SMTC’s AMI trainers and trainers-in-training to support educators.

• Are you looking for some practical tips to help you in your day-to-day interactions with children?
• Would you like to consider how aspects of Montessori apply in a practical context such as in your school, classroom or in other interactions with children?

Come along to our 1-hour online sessions, with an additional 30-minute Q&A, for extra support on how you can turn Montessori theory into practice.
