Dapto Montessori Academy - Opening Late 2024

A brand-new Montessori childcare and preschool is coming to 19 Jerrematta Street, Dapto NSW 2530 in Late-2024! This will be Montessori Academy’s first childcare in Wollongong.

The state-of-the-art Dapto daycare is currently under construction and is designed to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive and reach their full potential. As a Montessori early learning institution, we strongly believe in the power of hands-on learning, independence, and personalised guidance.

Featuring a contemporary design, the Wollongong Illawara region childcare will be equipped with educational materials that speak to the developmental needs of infant, toddler, and preschool children.

Once operational, the Dapto early learning centre will deliver bespoke Montessori early learning programs to children aged six weeks to six years. The childcare in Dapto will also offer nutritious catered meals, is sun-safe, allergy aware, and will have safe drop-off and pick-up parking.

With spacious classrooms, well-equipped play areas, and a secure outdoor space, we prioritise safety, engagement, and exploration. Our curriculum is designed to stimulate curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity through a combination of Montessori principles and mindful teaching practices. By integrating hands-on materials, child-led activities, and collaborative projects, we provide a dynamic learning environment that fosters independence and self-confidence.

Our Montessori trained and passionate educators are committed to fostering a love for learning in each child, while promoting holistic development across social, emotional, cognitive, and physical areas of well-being.

They observe children’s interests, direct them towards activities suited to their stage of development, and create a positive atmosphere for learning that allows children to discover learning outcomes in their own time.
