Mission Statement:

The Mission of Montessori of Alameda Teacher Education Program (MOATEP)

is to build a strong Montessori community committed to educating,

preparing, and supporting teachers, professionals, and parents.

The Montessori of Alameda Teacher Education Program, dedicated to

educating Montessori teachers, has as its guiding values the fundamental

principles upon which Maria Montessori based her philosophy. The

same principles that pertain to children's education are applied

whenever possible to adults. When this same philosophy is adhered to,

adult learners taking the course will develop a love for knowledge of

Montessori that will continue long past the completion of their

certification.
