Montessori Global Education and the Chartered College of Teaching to strengthen professional practice in early childhood education

From today, members of the Montessori Global Education Network mentoring programme can join the Chartered College of Teaching at no additional cost, giving access to the Early Childhood  Hub and its high-quality professional development resources for early years practitioners. 

This will sit alongside Montessori-inspired resources from the Montessori Global Education Network and the structured reflective support from Montessori Mentoring Mindset, giving early years educators a wealth of research-informed content and opportunities to share and grow. 

The continuing partnership will empower educators and embed professionalism at the heart of early years education, strengthening knowledge and practice to enhance learning experiences for young people. Together, these initiatives provide educators with enriched opportunities to share  knowledge, reflect on practice and access thoughtfully designed resources that strengthen learner-centred education worldwide. 

Professor Dame Alison Peacock, CEO of the Chartered College of Teaching, said: 

“I am delighted we will be building on a long-standing, purposeful partnership with Montessori  Global Education. Early years practitioners are critical to educational outcomes and life chances, and both our organisations are committed to providing high quality professional learning and recognition for colleagues in the early years sector.” 

Karen Chetwynd, CEO of Montessori Global Education, said: 

“We are proud to strengthen our partnership with the Chartered College of Teaching, reinforcing  our shared commitment to advancing professional excellence in early years education. Through this close collaboration, we empower practitioners to grow, innovate, and lead with confidence in their communities. Together, we continue to champion high-quality, inclusive education that nurtures every learner’s potential and shapes the future of teaching.” 

Montessori Global Education and the Chartered College of Teaching are reaffirming our shared commitment to early childhood education.
