VCMS Early Childhood

All programs will begin with online content in February 2026.
Early Childhood Program
The 18-month Early Childhood Program begins with online content during the winter and early spring. This is followed by a 3 1/2 week intensive summer session and is followed by online coursework during the practicum year. Two additional in-residence seminar sessions are held over two weekends during the practicum year.
Student teaching occurs over one school year as the adult learner develops their skills in the Montessori environment. Academic assignments reinforce their learning during the practicum year.

The VCMS Early Childhood Program is accredited by MACTE and affiliated with the American Montessori Society through May 2029.
