What is Montessori Education?

The Montessori approach to early childhood education was developed over 100 years ago by Dr Maria Montessori (1870–1952), a renowned physician, anthropologist, and educator. At the heart of the Montessori Method is a deep respect for each child’s individuality, creativity, and natural drive to learn. This scientifically designed approach provides a personalised education tailored to a child’s unique learning style, developmental stage, and interests. Through hands-on experiences, real-world applications, and problem-solving activities, children build strong academic foundations while developing essential life skills. Montessori education fosters independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning, preparing children for success beyond the classroom.

What Education Programs does Montessori Academy offer?

Montessori Academy’s education programs are founded on Dr Maria Montessori’s research and principles, designed to support the complete development of children during their critical formative years. Each program is child-led and self-paced, allowing children to explore and learn at their own rhythm, while being guided, assessed, and enriched by experienced educators. In a Montessori environment, the classroom, students, and educators work together to create a dynamic and engaging learning experience that nurtures independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

What is the best age to start childcare or preschool?

The ideal time to begin childcare varies depending on each family’s needs, circumstances, and preferences. Children who start the Montessori program early often settle in smoothly and experience the full benefits of the Montessori Method. Early exposure allows them to build a strong academic foundation across all curriculum areas, preparing them to engage with advanced Montessori materials in the Preschool Program. However, the Montessori environment is designed to support children of all ages, fostering independence, curiosity, and a love of learning at every stage of development.

How can I enrol or waitlist at a Montessori Academy centre?

Book a tour at your nearest Montessori Academy childcare centre to explore our facilities, meet the team, and learn about the Montessori approach. Visiting multiple centres can help you find the best fit for your child’s growth and development. During your tour, ask questions about the program, curriculum, and daily routines to ensure confidence in your decision.

Families on the Waiting List receive quarterly updates and insights into Montessori learning. We look forward to welcoming you!
