The Montessori method of education, named after its founder Maria Montessori, is an approach to classroom learning that emphasizes independence and choice. This theory of teaching understands that children have an innate interest to learn and will be able to do so in a suitable environment. It strives to create a classroom that is filled with order, cleanliness, beauty, and harmony.

Our staff are professional teachers and are hired with the appropriate training and experience to ensure parents are at peace of mind when their children are in the centre’s care.

Our Montessori curriculum is designed to follow the child, supporting their natural curiosity, independence, and love of learning. Rather than relying solely on traditional whole-class instruction, Montessori children learn through a combination of hands-on experiences, purposeful materials, individual lessons, small-group learning, and independent exploration.
The curriculum provides a strong foundation across key areas of learning, including Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, Cultural Studies, Science, Geography, and Social Development. As children grow, their learning becomes increasingly complex, encouraging them to make connections, think critically, solve problems, and apply their knowledge to the world around them.
Our Montessori approach recognizes that every child develops at their own pace. Educators carefully observe each child and use these observations to guide lessons, introduce new concepts, and provide appropriate challenges.
Most importantly, Montessori education aims to develop the whole child, not only academically, but also socially, emotionally, and personally.
Children are encouraged to become independent, confident, respectful, responsible, and lifelong learners.

Our school offers a welcoming environment with shaded outdoor play areas, open spaces, a baking kitchen, gardening opportunities, and school animals that allow children to learn through hands-on experiences and connect with nature.
Construction is underway, bringing exciting additions to our school community, including a PTA café and gathering space where families can connect and enjoy time together.
We will also expand our outdoor learning environment with an extended garden and exploration trail, new playground equipment, and a small outdoor amphitheater for reading, storytelling, music, and child-led performances.

The Montessori Toddler Program provides children aged 18 months-3 years with hands-on learning opportunities that are active, self-paced, and based on real-world experience. Learning goals focus on developing independence, social skills, confidence, and a solid academic base in preparation for future learning.

The Montessori Casa Program provides children aged 3- 6 years a structured academics and wellbeing program that prepares children for their transition to lower elementary. It expands on the foundational knowledge fostered by previous programs and assists in developing confidence, independence, problem-solving, creativity, and real-life skills.

Montessori West offers after-school care covering standard business hours for parents who are not able to collect their children until 5:30pm.

Our Lower Elementary Program, designed for children ages 6–9, provides a nurturing and engaging Montessori environment where children can continue to develop academically, socially, and emotionally within a small and close-knit community.

The Upper Elementary years are an exciting time of growth, discovery, and increasing independence. Our program for children ages 9–12 builds on the Montessori foundation while encouraging students to take greater ownership of their learning and their role within the community.
Children are encouraged to think deeply, ask questions, investigate ideas, and make connections across their learning. They are given opportunities to work collaboratively, manage longer-term projects, solve problems, and develop the confidence to express their ideas and perspectives.
Our Upper Elementary Program is a natural next step for children who want to remain in a small, connected school community while experiencing greater academic depth, independence, and responsibility.

If you have questions please feel free to send us a message. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
