Fountainhead Montessori Adult Education, East Bay:
Situated in Dublin CA just east of San Francisco, Fountainhead Montessori Adult Education provides a specialized Montessori teacher program to adults interested in pursuing an American Montessori Society (AMS) Early Childhood Credential. We offer evening courses in Montessori philosophy and curriculum in a classroom setting as well as supervised field experience for student teachers in an approved practicum site.
The Fountainhead Montessori Adult Education (FMAE) program was conceived by Sarah Zimmerman, who after over 20 years of experience with Montessori saw the need for an accessible, affordable training course.
Sarah, the founder of the nonprofit Fountainhead Montessori Schools in northern California, wants to be able to reach out to those who are interested in Montessori training and/or a credential but who have neither the time nor finances required to partake in a full-time course.
Our Mission:
The mission of Fountainhead Montessori Adult Education is to provide an accessible, affordable training course to those interested in pursuing an American Montessori Society (AMS) Early Childhood Credential, as well as those seeking a greater understanding of the Montessori philosophy.
College credits are granted in cooperation with California State University, East Bay Extension.
