Although the certification program can be completed in four semesters, students needing more time may schedule their internships (ECH 220, 221, 222 & 223) the following year. It is definitely recommended that CFS176 (CHILD DEVELOPMENT) be taken before starting the Montessori classes or during the first semester enrolled in the program.
