Requirements/Prerequisites:
As a prerequisite or co-requisite for Montessori certificates/credentials offered in the School of Graduate Studies, a college level course in child development is required. If this course was not taken previously in an undergraduate program, it may be fulfilled by taking a course in child development, with the emphasis on birth through middle childhood at Chestnut Hill, another accredited college or university or an American Montessori Society Early Childhood Teacher Education Program. Prior approval is required by the Montessori Director. Students must follow the attendance policy required by the American Montessori Society and must complete all the assignments for the courses plus the Graduate Projects for each course.
