What’s on in 2026?

I have heard you might be doing….

Yes, we are still working on a few parts of our 2026 schedule and look forward to introducing these soon!

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.

2026 Reconnect Series

Engage live online with AMI trainers from around the world to explore challenging areas of Montessori practice and consider practical strategies you can take away to support your own environment.

Each workshop runs for 4 hours in total, delivered as two 2-hour sessions that build on each other, giving you time between sessions to trial ideas, observe outcomes, reflect on your implementation and ask questions.  One in each age-level plus leadership.

Open to all, these sessions are a deep dive into an aspect of practice.

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].

Back to the Training Centre

Following a successful pilot in 2025, we are beyond excited to officially launch our new Back to the Training Centre program for the 0–12 age-levels.

Back to the Training Centre is exactly that – a dedicated day long opportunity to return to the training environment with colleagues and trainers. These in-person days are designed to refresh key areas of practice with a focus on presentations, as well as extend your understanding beyond what was covered in your original Montessori training.

Open to all Montessori Diploma holders (AMI or other), each workshop is a one-day in-person session at SMTC. Travelling : we would love to help you with local logistics to help make this feasible for you. 

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?

2026 program to be confirmed shortly!
