MONTESSORI BIRTH TO 2
INTERNATIONAL COURSE IN ROME ITALY
Course Description
June 22 to July 6, 2019
This Birth to 2 Montessori Course is an intensive for anyone who works with birth, infancy, and early
childhood to encourage them toward cultivating a new adult who is capable of following the child. It will be a
unique offering of experiential and practical work, theoretical lectures, and Montessori pedagogy. The
latest science confirming Montessori’s observations on birth and the beginning of life will be presented.
The aim of the course is to offer a vision of the non-medicalized, healthy child who is free to grow without
the burden of social or scholastic prejudice. In this vision, the child is understood from the interdisciplinary
perspective of having both a biological and psychological nature.
Our two-week intensive is a combination of workshops and lectures, offered by Centro Nascita Montessori
(CNM), the organization created by Adele Costa Gnocchi after she founded the Scuola Assistenti all’Infanzia
Montessori (AIM). The course is organized with the pedagogical guidance of Grazia Honegger Fresco who
studied directly under Maria Montessori in the last Casa dei bambini training held in Rome.
The fundamental aspects of the training are designed to help overcome the struggle between adult
and child. Opportunities for personal development, group work, practical experiences, theoretical
lessons, and working with one’s own hands make up the framework for the course. We will work
toward developing the capacity for scientific observation and abstaining from judgement — critical
skills for those who work with the youngest children and their parents. Participants will observe i
piccolissimi under the direct supervision of Montessorians who have over 100 years combined
experience with Centro Nascita Montessori. There will be opportunities to engage in discussions, and
to challenge or verify theoretical models or methods, testing them against direct observations of
the children.
