"Joy, feeling one's own value, being appreciated and loved by others, feeling useful and capable of production are all factors of enormous value for the human soul." ~ Dr. Maria Montessori

"Children display a universal love of mathematics, which is par excellence the science of precision, order and intelligence." ~Dr. Maria Montessori

Congratulations to the 2023 graduating class of the Adrian Montessori Teacher Education Institute!! This stellar group of Montessori teachers will be touching the minds and hearts of children and families for years to come. We could not be more proud of each and every one of you! Felicitations!

THURSDAY, MAY 11TH, IS THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER FOR OUR AMAZING SPRING WORKSHOP! Eligible for 3 CEUs.

Happy Earth Day! Our Social Studies instructor, Teneka Thompson-Epps, demonstrated a very literal and hands-on activity about how to take care of our earth. The student cleans the earth through choosing to recycle, reuse, compost or trash the litter they collect from the earth.

"The child's intelligence can develop to a certain level without the help of his hand. but if it develops with his hand, then the level it reaches is higher, and the child's character is stronger."
~Dr. Maria Montessori

Happy Birthday, Sister Anthonita! The founder of the Adrian Dominican Montessori Teacher Education Institute in 1991, Sr. Anthonita epitomized the philosophy and spirit of Dr. Maria Montessori. Sr. Anthonita was a mentor, a directress, an administrator, a leader, a friend and an inspiration to so many people around the world. Among her many awards and honors Sr. Anthonita received the first Athena Award in Adrian, Michigan in 1993 and was named a Living Legacy by the American Montessori Society in 2002. As we continue her legacy through ADMTEI we remember her especially today with love, peace and kindness in our hearts. Sr. Anthonita truly touched the future.

We love donations of every kind. ADMTEI is very grateful to former student Amie Phelps for her magnanimous donation of Montessori materials to our program. We are already putting them to good use! Amie, your donations will aid prospective Montessori teachers in learning, practicing and becoming a certified Primary Montessori teacher. In turn, your donations will touch hundreds of children on their journey through Montessori and life. We are very grateful.

"When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed." ~ Maya Angelou

The Adrian Montessori Teacher Education Institute is extremely grateful to Susan Tobey for her generous and much needed donation of an executive desk for our program! Thank you very much, Susan. We are loving the desk and putting it to good use!!

"We are completely on the wrong track when we believe that expensive toys should keep a child happy."
~Dr. Maria Montessori

"A child, more than anyone else, is a spontaneous observer of nature."
~Dr Maria Montessori

"The child becoming incarnate is a spiritual embryo which needs its own special environment. Just as a physical embryo needs its mother's womb in which to grow, so the spiritual embryo needs to be protected by an external environment that is warm with love and rich in nourishment, where everything is disposed to welcome, and nothing to harm it." ~DR. MARIA MONTESSORI

For anyone that needs a reminder....

Math is no longer daunting when approached with Montessori.

Always seek understanding.

Unleash the imagination!
