    A great day to salute our inspirational Teacher Training Academy “ACADEMY OF PROGRESSIVE MONTESSORI that makes such a difference to the life of each “woman” that enters our classroom! We “create” so many teachers, who then touch the lives of little children.

    We would like to thank each student trainee for their spontaneous and energized commitment to the children they spent time with during their Teaching practice tenure.

    APM is a very nice institute and it has a very well maintained and organised training structure. I loved being part of it and I cherish the moments spend with the faculty there. The training pattern has taught me Lots of things for being a good Montessorian as well as a good teacher.

    Academy of Progressive Montessory is a wonderful Teacher Training Program, with wonderful Teachers like Shalini Mam, Anita Mam, Shreshtha Mam . It has an impressive faculty, who are all wellspoken and knowledgeable. They follow the Principle laid down by Maria Montessori, and have improvised upon it. I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of it. It helped me in my teaching Career and I have taught at Apm advantage, Morning Smiles and am currently Teaching at Bridge International School after doing the course. It covers all the subjects like Exercise of Practical Life for the children, which helps them in being engaged in day to day activity, to ,Child Psychology. It is a wonderful one year Diploma course, and I ,Deepika Karnani, would recommend you to join it, if you wish to teach the small children. It is also a lot of fun.

    I am happy to mention that Esha, an APM student, has been a dedicated & focused facilitator. She got along well with all the teachers & the staff of our environment. Concepts like – “Aquatic Animals”, “Down at the Station Story Sessions”, “Glider Craft”, “Timeline of transportation” and “Train Whistle game” were instant hits with our children. The music & movement lesson plan on “The Little Red Wagon” was thoroughly enjoyed by our kids. The creative mind of the little ones was further explored when Esha gave the “Tessellation” presentation. She had the children completely engrossed while playing the Memory Games.
    We at Primary Colours always look forward to APM’s well-groomed & Trained Teacher Trainees, as they always come with unique lesson plans that are new & interesting every time.
