About NMTC

“A child is not a miniature adult, but a person in their own right, with their own choices, interests, personality and aspirations.”

Founded in 2001, at a time when people would ask “What is Montessori?”, NMTC introduced the Montessori method, its principles and philosophy to educators in Nepal, and opened pathways for women to build careers in early childhood education.

Teacher’s experience

In the words of our graduates

Join our alumni

My mother completed her diploma at NMTC 16 years ago. I knew I wanted to learn Montessori here too.

What could have been a better choice for my Junior Diploma in Montessori training than the pioneers themselves? My mother completed her diploma at NMTC 16 years ago, and watching her, I knew I wanted to learn Montessori from NMTC as well. Needless to say, I made a great decision. Learning was easy and friendly, with all the materials and resources we needed. The teachers were competent and handled our questions efficiently, and I made great friends by working and learning together. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at NMTC.

I can now train my own teachers and improve their performance.

Namaste everyone, I am Nandu Maharjan, Principal of Little Einsteins Preschool, Kirtipur. I recently completed my Junior Diploma in the Montessori Method of Education at NMTC. I truly appreciate the excellent guidance of my lecturers, and the class environment and workshops helped me finish the course with an overall result of ‘A’. I have been trained well enough to be a preschool trainer, and I can now train my own teachers and improve their performance. Thank you, NMTC, for such a beautiful learning experience.
