Montessori Institute of Milwaukee (MIM) training programs prepare teachers to work in Montessori classes with children 3 to 6 and 6 to 12 years old.

Her teaching methods strive to aid each child to achieve the fullest realization of his or her unique potential. Currently, educators are searching for effective ways to educate children from all levels of society. Montessori trained elementary teachers are critically needed since Montessori education has demonstrated that it can meet the needs of both inner city and suburban children. Teachers participating in training will observe children from various racial, ethnic and socioeconomic groups working and learning together in Montessori classes.

In the elementary stage (ages 6 to 12) children want to learn the reason for everything; they search for answers through small group activities.
