St George Montessori Engadine Early Learning Centre

St George Montessori Engadine Early Learning Centre provides exceptional and high-quality care and education to children aged 6 weeks through to 6 years, creating life-long bonds with our children, families and the community.

Centrally located on Woronora Road, our Centre comprises of three vibrant age specific rooms, Nursey, Toddlers and Preschool. Our environments are warm and inviting, encouraging children to engage with their peers, educators and the learning environment. Our rooms are flexible providing the opportunity to be adapted based on the learning that is taking place, encouraging the children to extend their knowledge and skills through project based learning, intentional teaching moments, interest based experiences that are planned for through careful observation and analysis of learning to determine where and how to extend the learning experience. Our centre is also home to chickens and a veggie patch to encourage nature play.

We use the Montessori approach to learning founded by Dr Maria Montessori. Children learn through real life experiences and a huge variety of materials that are purposeful and designed for different areas of learning and development. Alongside our Montessori Curriculum we draw on the Early Years Learning Framework, supported by the National Quality Framework and Australian Curriculum. It is vital that as educators we are using the Early Years Framework as this is the foundation for our children as they enter foundation level of school, and by linking to the Australian Curriculum we are able to provide children with the skills that they will require as they transition into their formal education. 

We are open from 7.00am - 6:00pm Monday to Friday, 52 weeks of the year. 

To make learning fun and interesting for our children, we regularly hold incursions and excursions to assist with learning and development which are included in our fees. Some of these include yoga, cooking and French classes and Kelly Sports Program.
