Our History
East Bay Montessori Training Center (EBMT) is a Montessori Teacher Education Program founded by the owners of Learn and Play Montessori School Incorporated (LAPMS), an early childhood Montessori school serving children ages 2 through 6 in the East Bay area since 2007. The founding of EBMT was their response to raise the standard and quality of the Montessori educational system in the community.
In 2020 EBMT was sold to Christian Montessori Education Center of the East Bay and moved to Concord, CA to continue and expand on the quality Montessori Training that the previous owners started. We are expanding our commitment to educating children to cultivating adults building careers in Montessori teaching.
East Bay Montessori Training courses are held approximately every other Saturday at Beginnings & Beyond Montessori (B&BM). In response to a growing interest in Montessori education, we aim to prepare competent and qualified Montessori teachers and to improve the quality of education for young children. East Bay Montessori Training will prepare Adult Learners with the knowledge and skills to teach young children of 2 ½ through 6 years of age in a Montessori setting.
Our Mission
The mission of East Bay Montessori Training is to build a solid foundation of teaching following Maria Montessori’s Philosophy of Education as well as to nurture the qualities of observation and understanding of each child’s spirit and individual needs.
EBMT believes that the heart of an authentic Montessori education depends upon the values and skills of the teacher as a model, mentor, and guide. EBMT is committed to provide teachers, professionals, and parents an opportunity to hone and develop these integral skills to be at their finest in helping children through each level of development.
EBMT achieves its mission by creating a positive learning environment for Adult Learners and by providing ample opportunity for working with highly experienced and qualified Montessori teachers. We strive towards making sure that upon graduation, our Adult Learners will be ready in both skills and in spirit, to take on the important responsibility of teaching young children in the Montessori way of learning.
