Montessori Nanny Training Academy
Empowering Nannies & Au Pairs
To create Play Activities that support your child's growth
Imagine your child is creatively stimulated when you are not at home.
- Do you have an excellent nanny, but sometimes feel that she could engage your child into a greater variety of playful and creative activities?
- Would you like to be confident that your child is creatively stimulated at home and when attending playgroups?
- Are you looking to boost your nanny´s competency in child development, safety, hygiene and positive parenting techniques?
- Would you like your nanny to learn how to offer activities that use natural and recycled materials?
About Our Courses
Our Nanny Training Courses have been designed based on latest child research and the Montessori pedagogy for the early years. Our Montessori Nanny Courses give your nanny the confidence and skills to create fun and educative Montessori activities for your child while applying positive education methods.
We want to help you to be fully confident that your child is happy, creative and exploring new skills when staying with your nanny.
What is unique about our courses:
- Our training courses 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 concretely teach nannies how to set up a Montessori-inspired environment using every-day household and recycled materials that foster independence, exploration, and security.
- Your nanny benefits from practical on-the-job training allowing your nanny to directly implement what she is learning in her work with your child and to get individual feedback from us.
- Nannies learn in small groups and across borders and benefit from each other's experience. This is an extra boost to their motivation.

Voices from participants
Hi, I am Maria
As an expat mom of 3 young children and a Montessori certified Early Years Educator, I know how difficult it sometimes can be to communicate your educational philosophy to your nanny.
Having lived over ten years in Benin, Ethiopia and Vietnam, I have experienced how difficult it can be to access quality educational activities and materials, which inspired me to create Abracadabra Creative Learning, so you do not have to struggle in the same way to find high quality educational offers, as I did!
I have been privileged to train over 300 nannies in more than 15 countries in play-based learning and positive education.
I love seeing how every day items can be transformed into fun play ideas in a few minutes. You do not need a lot to come up with amazing creative play and learning ideas. Together with my team in different countries, I’ll show you and your nanny how.
Curious to learn how we can organise a nanny training in your location?

The 3 key principles of the courses
Practical Learning
The training engages nannies in hands-on learning and implementing activities in their work with the children on a daily basis from day one of the training.
Daily follow-up and encouragement
A mix of training sessions and group reflections, concrete tasks and challenges to implement each week creative learning activities and daily personalized coaching on homework questions and results hold the nannies accountable for their own learning.
Usage of natural and recycled materials
In view of sustainability and the feasibility of all activities in different contexts of each country, all the activities taught can be done with natural and recycled materials available around you.
