Celebrating our Certified Montessori Early Childhood Diploma Graduates
We were thrilled to honor our graduates with their hard-earned certificates and a special moment to celebrate their hard work. During this celebration, we took time to hear from our graduates and those closest to them. It was inspiring to hear about how this learning experience has impacted their lives and careers.
Graduates Speak About Their Experience in the Diploma Program
We are so proud of our most recent graduates, who worked hard for many months to grow into wonderful Montessori educators. Now that our graduates have had some time to reflect, it’s been wonderful to hear how training has supported their goals.
“I entered Montessori Mantra Teacher’s Training College as a working teaching assistant and left as a true Montessori educator,” graduate Prabodhani Silva said. Most importantly, Silva explained that completing her diploma gave her the confidence and practical skills she needed to succeed. In her own words, she explained, “The depth of the training goes far beyond theory. It gave me the deep philosophical understanding and practical confidence to successfully step into my own classroom as a lead teacher.”
Another graduate, Farah Popal, also appreciated the balanced approach, saying, “The program provided a good balance of theoretical knowledge and practical experience, helping me gain a deeper understanding of child development and effective teaching methods.” Of the experience, she shared, “I had a wonderful experience attending Montessori Mantra Teachers’ Training College. The instructors were knowledgeable, supportive, and always encouraged us to develop our teaching skills with confidence.”
Employers Express Satisfaction with Montessori Mantra Teachers’ Training College Diploma Program
A Montessori school owner employs one of the graduates, and she says her transformation has been wonderful to watch. “Over the last nine months, I’ve seen her flourish! She’s gone from being an assistant in the room to leading the room. I feel so confident about having our children in her care. I also see how she’s interacting with her colleagues, leading them, and helping them become better teachers,” she shared.
“I have worked with many teachers who have graduated from other programs, but the standard that you have set for your school is very high,” she went on to say about the Montessori Mantra Teachers’ Training Diploma Course.

Why Choose an In-Person Montessori Certification in the Durham, Ontario Area?
Today, many courses are available online. While this can save time and provide flexibility, not every subject is easily adaptable to the online format. That’s true of the Montessori method. Teaching is hands-on. Montessori teaching is even more hands-on.
“…Montessori education is more than just a method — it is an experience,” Nandita Agarwala, our founder, explained. That’s why Agarwala intentionally created an in-person training program to give students all the experiences, role-modeling, and hands-on practice they need.
In-person Montessori training means students can:
- See, touch, and work with Montessori materials
- Practice classroom strategies
- Get support and mentorship as needed
- Role-play classroom situations with experienced instructors
- Watch instructors demonstrate lessons and strategies
Additionally, this Certified Montessori training course is held at our beautiful facility in Pickering, Ontario. There, you can see a true Montessori classroom set up for children to learn and grow. Throughout your time in the course, you’ll see small adjustments and changes to the classroom, helping you imagine how you’d design and prepare your own classroom in the future.
As a bonus, in-person classes also mean more moments of connection with your fellow students and instructors. Interpersonal relationships can enhance your learning, providing connections, support, and opportunities for networking.
