The phenomenal growth of MMI did not happen by chance. It was built on sheer guts and perseverance. The journey started when MMI was born 17 years ago in an old shop-house, as a teacher-training school offering the Diploma in Montessori Method of Education.

Subsequently, MMI pre-school centres sprouted up all over Singapore. With the growing popularity of Montessori Method of Education and the dedication of MMI lecturers and teachers, MMI soon became household name in the field of Early Childhood Education.

The MMI brand name is equated with a stamp of quality and assurance. MMI achieved many prestigious accreditations like ISO 9001:2000, Singapore Quality Class (SQC), Singapore Quality Class for Private Education Organisations (SQC-PEO), Singapore Franchise Mark, Open and Distance Learning Quality Accreditation (UK), British Accreditation Council, (BAC), etc.

Today, MMI has made inroads into many countries in the Asia-Pacific region like Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. The vast experience accumulated in the last 17 years has ensured smooth replication of business and operation models in those countries. The wide acceptance of MMI education model in those countries is heartening and encouraging.

In line with our policy, MMI has also ventured into other Early Childhood Education courses besides the Diploma in Montessori Method of Education.

MMI has developed a full curriculum for the Certificate in Pre-school Teaching (CPT), Diploma in Pre-School Education – Teaching (DPE-T) and Diploma in Pre-School Education – Leadership (DPE-L).

MMI has also collaborated with Australia's University of Southern Queensland (USQ) to run the Bachelor of Early Childhood (BECh) degree programme for tertiary students.
