Children at the heart of every decision.

We bring together people who believe that respect, observation and the right environment allow every child to become their best self.

Our story

Growing Montessori in Malaysia since 2007.

Montessori Association of Malaysia is an organisation focused on Montessori education and human development across the early years, elementary and adolescent stages.

Our network includes educators, families, school leaders, trainers, advocates and organisations. Together, we develop stronger practice, widen access and build understanding of the Montessori philosophy within Malaysian communities.

We also serve as a think-tank for parenting practice, educational training and policies that influence children’s learning, care and wellbeing.
