About Montessori Teacher Training Diploma
What Makes Us Different
I’m not here to tell you how to teach - I show you how to guide. At Hastam, I believe in the power of hands-on learning. You’ll learn the Montessori teaching philosophy, focusing on creating a space where kids explore, not just memorize. No more boring “2, 1 za 2...” routines. I want you to see real curiosity in action, and help children find their own rhythm.
What You’ll Get
- Earn a Diploma in Montessori Training
- Specialize in Montessori 3-6 years training
- Get early childhood Montessori certification
You’ll dive deep into why Montessori works, the science behind the approach, and how to actually use it with kids every day. The course isn’t just theory - you spend real time in our campus, a proper Montessori classroom, not a simulated setup.
Real Experience, Real Kids
Internship is at our 5500 sqft campus on Kanakapura Road. You’ll work with actual children aged 2-6, in mixed-age groups, learning from classic Montessori materials. It’s a full-on, lively space - sometimes messy, always buzzing.
Who Is This For?
If you believe every child deserves to be seen as an individual, love the idea of discovery over instruction, and want to be part of real change in education, this is for you. You’ll need patience, an open mind, and a bit of guts.

My Story
We’re Hastam Montessori. 'Hastam' means hand - you’ll spot it on our gate, in Kannada too. That word shapes everything we do. Kids here get messy, curious, sometimes spend hours on one project, just exploring. It’s not about ticking boxes, it’s about letting creativity flow. We make our own learning stuff, like sandpaper letters. Seeing kids help each other, alumni coming back for siblings - that’s when we know, this place is more than school. It’s home, with respect and warmth.
My Work
Montessori Programs for Kids & Adults - We run preschool for 2-6 yrs, Montessori homeschooling kits, Learner’s Lab, summer camps, and Diploma training.
Child-Led, Mixed-Age Classrooms - Kids choose what to work on, learn at their own pace, and mix with different ages. It’s real Montessori.
Hands-On Learning, Not Just Memory - No rote stuff. Kids use Coloured Bead Bars for multiplication, pound spices, open lock boxes - learning by doing.
Campus Full of Discovery - We’ve got a climbing wall, garden for little harvests, and nature-watching. Learning happens everywhere here.
Gentle Beginning for New Kids - First days are soft. Parents stay close, helping kids settle in with trust and comfort. No rush.
