When a learner begins their journey with Montessori Apprentice Academy, they are not just enrolling in a course; they are starting a supportive, motivating, and practical learning experience developed specifically for the Early Years sector.
Whether your setting follows Montessori principles or a broader EYFS approach, we make sure every learner receives a training experience that’s relevant, engaging, and life changing.
Learning Designed for Early Years Settings
Our training is built around the real world of Early Years. We understand the pace, the pressures, and the passion that come with working in a nursery and our courses & apprenticeships reflect that.
From the start, learners are encouraged to link their studies directly to their daily work. They’re not just reading about best practice; they’re applying it, seeing results, and growing in confidence everyday.
A Blend of Structure and Flexibility
Every learner receives a clear roadmap with regular milestones and tutor visits. But we also understand that no two learners (or settings) are the same.
That’s why we offer:
This combination of structure and flexibility creates a learning experience that fits around your setting and the apprentice not the other way around.
Linking Theory to Practice
All of our content is carefully curated to reflect the latest research, policy, and best practice in Early Years, but it never stays theoretical.
Learners are constantly asked to reflect on what they’ve learned and how it applies to their setting. They’ll understand not just what to do, but why it matters for children’s development.
This reflective practice helps learners become thoughtful, intentional practitioners.
Off-the-Job Training
Off-the-job training is a core part of any apprenticeship and it’s where the deeper learning happens.
It’s time set aside away from day-to-day duties to focus on developing new knowledge, skills, and behaviours. This could involve independent study, research tasks, reflection, mentoring, or coursework, it must directly link to your role.
We make sure off-the-job training is a priority. Whether you’re learning about child development or observing Montessori in action, every minute counts toward your professional growth.
