Centre
for Educational Research & Developmental Studies,
has been operating as an independent organization
since 1999. The founder director, Mr. K.J. Thomas,
has been involved in Montessori training for over
fifteen years and has had extensive experience in
state schools, Special Education Schools and in teacher
training. Courses are all taught by Montessori trained
graduates with personal teaching experience. In the
field of distance learning, we have a skilled team,
with great experience who can back up local tutors,
worldwide and guarantee to give fast, efficient service
to students, wherever they may be. We have facilities
for supplying Montessori apparatus, teaching aids
and Montessori educational books. We also assist in
getting membership and registrations with Montessori
Societies and Associations throughout the world. |

Many
ex-students are now either teaching in local Montessori
Schools or have set up successful Montessori Houses
of their own. Few fail to find employment at the end
of the course (although, of course, we cannot guarantee
employment or career advancement). Past students are
now teaching in various parts of Europe, and as far
as Hong-Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Kuwait,
Bahrain, UAE, Malaysia, USA, Australia and South Africa.
Other ex-students have found positions as teachers
in the kindergarten/nursery departments of several
Independent Preparatory Schools. Yet others are working
with children with special educational needs. |
