Our Montessori Adults
Pioneers of your child's journey
At nebula montessori, our educators are more than just teachers—they are mentors, guides, and facilitators dedicated to nurturing each child’s unique learning journey. Rooted in Dr. Maria Montessori’s philosophy, they create a respectful, engaging, and stimulating environment that encourages exploration, independence, and growth.
• Montessori Guides
A Montessori classroom typically has a trained Montessori guide supported by a Montessori assistant. Montessori guides typically have a normal teacher qualification as well as an additional Montessori specific training. The guide supports the young child in his or her process of self-development. They are foremost an observer, unobtrusively yet carefully monitoring each child's development, recognising and interpreting each child's needs.
The guide provides a link between the child and the prepared environment, introducing the child to each piece of equipment when he or she is ready in a precise, clear and enticing way. The most important attribute of a Montessori guide is the love and respect she holds for each child's total being.
• Montessori Assistants
The Montessori assistant’s role is to support the teacher and promote peace and order in the classroom. They value and respect the uniqueness of each child while consistently nurturing and modelling a love of learning. The assistant is a keen observer and is knowledgeable about developmentally appropriate behaviour and practices and supports the individual needs and interests of the children.
