VICTORIA MONTESSORI TEACHER TRAINING CENTER was established in 2007 to provide a two year Montessori teacher training program in Uganda for guiding children at the 3-6 year old level.  Montessori programs offer a child centered program with a mixed age group (3 year age span) where children can learn experientially, at their own pace, using a hands on approach to learning.  They do the “work” of building themselves to be peaceful, creative, cooperative, independent, life long learners.  The Montessori “children’s house” provides opportunity for freedom of choice and responsibility in a safe and respectful prepared environment.   Plans for training Montessori elementary teachers are also underway.

 

Training Director Lawino “Christine” Kijange is certified by the American Montessori Society in New York as a Montessori Directress.

She received her Montessori teacher training from the Midwest Montessori Teacher Training Center in Evanston, Illinois, USA.  In 2006 she received the Ursula Thrush Peace Seed Award from AMS.  Christine has also been trained as a Ugandan elementary teacher and holds a bachelor’s degree..
