Innovative STEM Integration for Montessori Educators

Integrating STEM education within the Montessori framework enriches early childhood learning by blending science, technology, engineering, and math with Montessori principles. This powerful combination fosters a natural curiosity and a love for exploration in young minds. Montessori Pro's course for Alison students, tailored for elementary school teachers, covers this integration in one module divided into four topics, providing a comprehensive guide for educators.
