Montessori Association of Malaysia
I don’t think I ever mention about the existence of a Montessori association in Malaysia, which I hope and believe will be like the Montessori Association in UK under the umbrella organisation Montessori St Nicholas Charity. I understand that Pn Aisha Z Abdullah is the founder and president of the association. The homepage website looks very promising, however there is still a lot of work to be done to achieve the organisation’s mission, objective and other areas of the organisation.
I have placed the link of the MAM (Montessori Association of Malaysia) under the MONTESSORI category at the side column.

Hi Rani,
Hope you are well.:)
I am glad I found you! I finally found Malaysian* that actually working on Montessori system.
* from your “about me” self introduction, I assume you are Malaysian as you mentioned you are returning to Malaysia soon.
I believe every child is a genius since born. I have a dream of a better & natural education for children especially those live in poverty.
I hope for a chance to volunteer with Montessori and I am eager to help.If you need any help pls let me know or any information that you could offer that would be a really great help. Hope to hear from you soon:)
Thanks for creating this blog and thanks for posting everything about Montessori.
thanks& regards,
Joey Chua
Hi,
I am interested in Montessori Method and plan to enroll on the course. But i found that most of the College that provide the course is outside KL, e.g. Subang Jaya/Petaling Jaya. Appreciate very much if you can provide information where i can get the course in KL area.
PS: I tried to find Montessorian World International that was at Megan Avenue 2 (Yap Kwan Seng) but maybe they moved to new place and i could not find them. Hope you can advise their new place and how to contact them.
Thanks in advance for your kind attention.
Best Regards,
Yudit Tanaga
Joey: Yes, I am a Malaysian. R u practising Montessori method in any setting?
Yudit: well done for deciding to enrol urself in a Montessori course. It is important to choose the best college in spite of the distance. Attend a preview of the course at the college before committing to one. I know some people who actually go to overseas in the hope to be under the tutelage of genuine Montessori lecturers.
Anyway, I’ll try to look for the Montessorian World International you mentioned in the post.
Yudit: Have u given the organisation a ring?
Montessorian World International, Malaysia Chapter is managed by Montessorian Sdn Bhd in Malaysia.

Pat Leong: Try the school opposite PJ Playcentre Library. The site is in the right column of this blog. They are integrate a few teaching methods, including using Montessori materials. not sure about their teaching philosophy. The surrounding is quite nice and the owners are quite friendly.
Also recently, i saw a Montessori kindy near Bangsar Village 1, as I was walking out from starbucks, i think. It was more towards the left side of the road. Can’t remember the name.
Sue: I will write about your intention to sell the things in my next post.
Hiya Rani
The one right across from Bangsar Village is My Montessori School (Taska Montessori Saya). Both my kids are very happy there. I have tried other schools but my son really didn’t like them, but this particular school is truly a keeper!
I encourage you guys to come and take a look at it!

Hello friends of montessorian,
I would to thank a few interested parties for a position in my school.My school has already started in March’09. For parents looking for a montessori pre-school sitis montessori school is in Datuk Keramat, Kuala Lumpur.I am an AMI trained Montessori teacher.Contact me if you are looking for training program in Kuala Lumpur. Can I have the Contact No for Rhythym Publishing Co.
Hi
I am interested the Montessori method and plan to enroll. However, I an currently living interstate and will not be convenient to attend the course in KL. I understand that there are long-distance courses available but I am not sure how to go about it.
Siti Nora: Rhythm Publishing Co. number info as stated in the comments: 03-20937733 (F) 03-20934050 (contact Murni Abd Malik.)
Sue: Visit MCI + NAMC + MEWI websites. They conduct distant courses. The links are at the sidebar under the title ‘Montessori Course elsewhere’.
Sue:
I am currently taking a distant learning course (with tutorial & workshop contact hours) run by Malaysian Child Resource Institute(MCRI) and they are affiliated to Montessori World Educational Institute (MWEI) http://www.montessoriworld.org/
So far, I’m REALLY glad there are contact hours, cos it really helps. And I am very happy I went with MCRI, the principal is very kind and passionate, as are the lecturers. However, they are not as as organized as other Montessori course providers but that was not an important criteria for me.
Unless you are SUPER DUPER disciplined, best not to take a pure distant learning course! Its not a tough course but to be around fellow Montessorians is such an inspiration!
Btw, MCRI’s email is mcri@streamyx.com tel is 03-9132 1748, speak to Michelle or Ruth or Mrs Liew.
Whomever you go with, all the best and may your journey be a wonderful one!

Alice: Try calling KRISTA headquarters at 03-2141 7575 and ask for the contact number of the nearest school to Puchong Jaya. However, I’m not too sure how much Montessori’s philosophy do they incorporate. Visit the school and bring your child along!

I am looking for an interesting, stable teaching position.
I need to give 1 term notice from September 2009.

It has been a challenge to look for anything Montessori in Malaysia and if I can say so, Rani, you have been the beacon of light for everyone who has visited your blog. Thanks to you I will be calling MWI and MCRI tomorrow and asking them about their courses. I wish to be a Montessorian but it has been rather difficult getting their numbers and addresses. How come their websites are difficult to get information out of? Anyway, kudos to you!
Know any Montessori in Sri Damansara, anyone?
Yvonne: Hope you achieve your expected teaching position soon.
Daniel: Thanks for the appreciation note. I wish you all the best towards the goal of becoming a MOntessorian.

Wish you will have a fantastic week in Malaysia!
Companies selling Montessori materials are increasing in Malaysia. I am adding another link page of the companies’ information on the right column of my blog.

Hi Can anybody help to look for Montessori in Puchong area? My kid is entering to 3 years old in year 2010.
Thank you.
In Puchong, there are a few but I know of San Lorenzo which is opposite Giant in the main PUchong area (sorry very vague, but where all the banks are). There is pink Tower Montessori as well… Drive around. That’s the best I think.
As for a 6 month Montessori course, try to be in touch with me personally as I am a certified Montessori Trainer with Malaysian Child Resource Institute which runs the Montessori World Education Institute (US) Cert and Diploma course. We are about to start a new intake and also one for Montessori trainers
I think there is a montessori school in Kelana Jaya in one of the semi-dees or bungalows which use to be or still is tadika sri montessori behind the golf course. Sorry for the vagueness
Inn Inn: I hope Aisha’s replies gave some light to ur worries.
Aisha: Thanks for providing guidelines for parents. And it’s a pleasure to have you here.
