Association Montessori Internationale (AMI)
was founded in 1929 by Dr. Maria Montessori. Dr. Montessori gave AMI two purposes
to serve:
First, to further her life work in its original integrity and completeness.
And second, to guide its development and application in the interest of all
children.
From
its international headquarters in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, AMI has functioned
as the source of
Montessori's principles as well as a center for continuing research and development.
AMI TRAINING CENTERS
Training centers accredited by AMI remain under continuous supervision by this organization. These courses prepare adults to work with children at the infant level (prenatal to age 3), the primary level (age 3 to 6) and the elementary level (ages 6 to 12); there is also a specialization in work with handicapped children.
Montessori
is a complex approach to human development, from birth to maturity, based
upon universal principles. It is universal in the sense that, when done in
an exacting manner, it can be applied to children of all nationalities and
the same phenomena will result.
