    I was looking to do my montessori degree at night this year and well im doing it as i love working with kids but realise i dont know much about the actual job side as in wage and hours etc. Does anyone have an idea. What is the usual wage? hours? is it hard to get a job after your degree? Can you do childcare with a montessori degree or are they two seperate things?

    Thanks in advance :)

    An ex of mine was a Montessori teacher.

    Childcare and montessori teaching are unrelated.

    The pay is very poor, and it can be demoralising working in a "creche and montessori" when in fact your qualification has nothing to do with creche work/wiping arses, etc.

    I've read most of the proper Montessori teachings (as in Maria Montessori's official teachings) and it's quite impressive.

    You might also want to do some research about the international acceptability of Montessori training, and indeed whether educational theory has moved on since MM's work in the first half of the last century.

    I know it's one of the main early-childhood-education approaches in this country .. and that it's not so popular in other countries which aren't as backward as Ireland.
