Nursery World - Nursery group training academy links up with Montessori Centre International

Montessori Centre International has partnered with Little Dukes Training Academy at Riverside Nursery Schools to offer accredited training.

Little Dukes academy at Riverside Nursery Schools is the first 'host centre' approved by Montessori Centre International

Riverside Nursery Schools in south-west London is a group of five early years settings, and is part of the Dukes Education family, of nurseries independent schools, and colleges.

Little Dukes Training Academy has received approval through MCI’s Standards & Training Accreditation Review (STAR) framework to become the first operational ‘host centre’, delivering a full suite of MCI’s courses and qualifications.

It is the first operational ‘host centre’ for Montessori Centre International.

Approval by STAR enables the centre to be recognised as one of MCI’s global partners, 'positioned to bring professional education and Montessori-specialist training directly to the community'.

Little Dukes Training Academy will offer a range of MCI programmes, including a new infant course, Integrating Montessori Specialism (for children from birth to three), which will launch in September.
