A post shared by Montessori ELF (@montessori.elf)

"The child is endowed with unknown powers, which can guide us to a radiant future. If what we really want is a new world, then education must take as its aim the development of these hidden possibilities."
​- Maria Montessori
MELF is an established training centre with almost 20 years of experience in Early Childhood Development (ECD) and training based on the Montessori philosophy. Our aim is to equip our graduates to work effectively as professionals with children between the ages of 0 – 7 years. Our standards and quality are high, our methods are full-proof and we have training facilities located in convenient locations throughout South Africa.

​MELF’s national accreditation with the ETDP SETA (EDTP 9994) enables us to offer a variety of Montessori training options. MELF is a member of the South African Montessori Association (SAMA).
