Montessori reaches out to teenage parents

Montessori St Nicholas is officially launching a new community project for teenage parents.

Young mothers at the Teenage Parents Project at the Hartcliffe and Withywood Tenants Centre in Bristol will have the opportunity to study for the Montessori Foundation Certificate while receiving access to a Montessori crèche.

Eighteen mothers and expectant mothers who use the centre have started the 33-week course, receiving three hours of training a week. Montessori activities are being gradually introduced into the centre’s crèche, with two crèche leaders also participating in the training.

The project was developed as part of the Montessori Community Manifesto, a two-year plan launched last year that pledged to widen access to the Montessori approach to include the most disadvantaged communities across the country.
