Nanny Training
Academy
We train nannies and au pairs worldwide in Montessori play-based learning and positive education.
Do you ever wonder what really happens when you’re not at home?
You’ve found a wonderful nanny or au pair, but you sometimes wish she:
Offers more creative, educational play
Better understands your parenting approach
Helps your child grow with curiosity and confidence
As a busy mom, you want peace of mind – knowing your child is learning meaningfully, not just being “kept busy.”
Inspire. Educate.Empower.
At the Montessori Nanny Training Academy we are passionate about play-based, screen-free learning. We train nannies and au pairs worldwide in Montessori play-based learning and positive education.
Through our Montessori Nanny Training Academy, nannies learn hands-on how to:
✅ Create daily Montessori play activities using household and recycled materials
✅ Encourage independence, creativity, and positive behavior
✅ Foster your child’s natural curiosity and multilingual language skills
Whether you’re in Nairobi, Bangkok, Kigali, or Brussels – we help you bring Montessori magic home.
About Our Programs
We believe that a well-trained nanny can make all the difference in the education and development of your child.
Our Nanny and Au Pair Training Courses have been designed based on latest child research and the Montessori pedagogy for the early years.
They are tailored for nannies in various contexts. Independent of their educational level, we engage them in hands-on learning with little theory and lots of practice.
We love making Montessori easy. Our local and self-study courses teach nannies how to set up a Montessori-inspired environment using every-day household and recycled materials that foster independence, exploration, and security.

Words Of Thanks
Hi, I am Maria
As a Montessori-certified educator and mom of three, I’ve spent over 15 years living and working across Africa and Asia.
I have been privileged to train hundreds of nannies, au pairs and early educators in more than 15 countries in play-based learning and positive education.
I believe that every child deserves to grow up curious, confident, and creative — no matter where they live or what resources they have.
That’s why I founded the Montessori Nanny Training Academy, part of Abracadabra Creative Learning, to make Montessori education accessible worldwide.
Together with my trainer team, we are happy to upskill your nanny.
The story behind Abracadabra Creative Learning
The idea for Abracadabra Creative Learning was born in a small village near Lalibela in Northern Ethiopia in 2019. Many children in developing countries lack access to school and often only spend a couple of years in primary school. Learning basic language and numeracy skills therefore needs to be even more effective than in regular Western schools.
The aim of Abracadabra Creative Learning therefore is to make Montessori play-based learning methods available where they are most needed.
This is why we train pro-bono teachers and educators in the Global South how to use play and local materials to prepare children for school and to teach foundational math and literacy in a playful way.
All of Abracadabra Creative Learning’s benefits are invested to increase our impact, where it is most needed.
