Early Childhood Montessori Training Centre (ECMTC) was established in March 2005 with the desire and vision to improve the quality of Pre- and Primary School teaching in Nepal. We believe that every child should have the right and privilege to adequate and child centered education.
Early Childhood is not a time for rote learning but for practical activities and play. If children are forced to study beyond their interest areas and readiness stages they will not enjoy school. They may develop negative feelings towards books and formal education. Learning must be fun!
Most children under five years old are not yet ready for formal studies. Early childood education should be skill oriented rather than theory and exam oriented. Different kinds of play help children to develop socio-emotional, physical and cognitive skills in a balanced way and thus prepare young children by developing skills for formal learning such as reading, writing and mathematics. Skills can only develop through practice. ECMTC seeks to equip Preschool Teachers to guide children in developing such skills as: association, categorizing, differentiation, matching, observing for details, sequencing and other skills which will develop the students thinking power and prepare them for formal education.
ECMTC believes that every child is unique and needs a loving, stimulating environment in which to develop. In Child Psychology the early Childhood years are called 'Formative years'. We believe that this is the time when the foundation is laid for the child's life values, habits (discipline), thinking patterns (Logic reasoning, memory), and attitudes, socio, mental, and emotional skills. We therefore need to create such learning and developing environment for the preschool students that they can develop these skills at their best.

The course can be changed according to the subjects.
An increasing number of schools have requested us to train, evaluate and do workshops with their preschool teachers. So, we have launched consultancy with schools. Normally such contracts for about 2 3 months. Teachers attend a course at ECMTC. Then ECMTC experts attend the teachers in their schools and evaluate their teaching and class work 3 times. Each visit and evaluations is followed by a workshop at ECMTC during which the teachers get more training on things that need to be improved. It also involves a consultation session with the Principal/coordinator and a parent seminar. For more information, please contact us
