Anastasia Kim
Founder and Director of the «Mon Ami» Montessori Center | AMI diploma 2,5 – 6+
I graduated as a PR-specialist from the Far Eastern State Technical University in 2002. By educating my daughter with the Maria Montessori method, I saw how much it could give to a child: independence, organization, the ability to make a choice and take responsibility for it, curiosity for knowledge. What I literally wish is to give a chance to more children to grow up happily. Our center is an opportunity for kids to walk on this path, gain life skills and invaluable experiences.

I consider that the humanistic approach to the formation of the benevolent and constructive society is the only correct one. Such a society allows us to reveal all potential of a person in which each of us can be needed, useful, happy and has their place with the light of the sun.
Maria Montessori understood, described and scientifically substantiated the natural path of growing up. The method of scientific pedagogy of Maria Montessori allows every child to become a person of the world, to go to an adult society with a clear understanding of who he is and what he can give to this world.
“Mon Ami” Montessori Center follows exactly this scientific approach of Maria Montessori. You can feel the atmosphere of serving the child here: “Education is help for life!”. “Mon Ami” graduates are the future of Russia!”
Natalia Deryabina
Montessori teacher | 0-3 AMI diploma
Higher pedagogical education: Herzen Russian State Pedagogical University, inclusive pedagogy faculty, 2001. Montessori education: International AMI course “Assistants of early childhood” (0-3), 2018. Experience as a Montessori teacher: 2 years. I met the Montessori pedagogy after the birth of my first daughter. At first, I became a Montessori mother, but I did not decide to change my profession. I liked working at school and was afraid that more than ten years of experience in traditional pedagogy would get in the way. Then a younger daughter was born, and I decided to become a child’s assistant on the development path, but not a teacher-leader and initiator of education. Now, after all this transformation on the AMI course, I work as a Montessori teacher. I have a hobby (needlework), and now I’m using this skill for creating some new materials for the class and my girls, too. When you wish to help a child, you understand that you can’t stop improving and educating yourself.

Montessori teacher 0-3 | AMI – diploma
Graduated from the “Psychology of Family Relations» department of the Russian State Pedagogical University. In September 2018, I completed studies at an international AMI course and took an AMI-diploma “Assistant to Early Childhood” for kids 0-3 years old.
Montessori pedagogy is very attractive because of its respectful attitude to the child’s needs, choices and actions. In my opinion, it provides everything for children to grow up in harmony and love, to become mature and independent individuals.
Working with children is always interesting. They know how to be sincere, live by feeling the moment, help us, adults, to become better. Communication with children brings me much joy; I am happy to watch them grow and make discoveries every day. I am glad to help parents and children understand each other better.
