Key Campus Features
Especially unique about Gungahlin Montessori Academy:
Montessori education is a personalised approach developed by Dr Maria Montessori, proven successful for over a century. It tailors learning to each child's style, stage, and interests, fostering academic and well-being foundations through hands-on experiences and real-world problem-solving. Montessori educators observe children's interests and guide them toward relevant materials for purposeful and engaging learning. This method acknowledges diverse learning paces and preferences, promoting respect, independence, and freedom for children to direct their own learning, leading to high motivation and a love for learning.
Montessori early learning centres differ from conventional preschools and childcare facilities. They create an ideal learning environment, offer customized educational materials, and provide guidance to support holistic child development. Montessori education is active, adaptable to each child's pace, encourages self-correction, and aligns with individual interests. Its overarching objective is to equip children with the knowledge and abilities needed for lifelong learning, fostering confidence, independence, and a thirst for knowledge.
The curriculum at Montessori Academy follows a blended approach, drawing on both Montessori principles and the Early Years Learning Framework. The curriculum follows five key learning areas:
The educators use Montessori materials to teach the curriculum and tailor the learning to each individual child.
Many families choose Montessori Academy because it aligns with their parenting style, beliefs about early childhood education, and their child's future aspirations. Those with a 'Montessori Mindset' believe in their children's immense capabilities and equally prioritize their well-being and academics.
Selecting the right early education provider involves finding a place, people, and program that truly resonates with your family. Families choosing Montessori Academy place a high value on early childhood education and seek the best possible start in life for their child.

Thank you to all teachers at Gungahlin Montessori - Infrant 2. My daughter is happy going to school everday. As a first-time parent, I was nervous about starting daycare, but the team at Gungahlin Montessori made the transition so easy. They are incredibly accommodating and have formed genuine bonds with my child. It’s a huge relief to drop my child off knowing she is safe, loved, and genuinely happy.

Our little girl has been going here for a year full time and we absolutely love it. The staff are incredible and it is obvious they love their job and the kids. Very low staff turnover as well, which is a big green flag for us. They have a rotating menu of healthy, varied foods from all over the world which gives our baby the opportunity to try foods we wouldn't normally have at home. We receive daily photos and videos on the app of our girl going about her day - this is the highlight, (from classroom tablet, not personal phones). Every day we can see she is happily participating in different activities and engaging with the others. We know she is safe and loved and in the best hands while we're at work. They have helped to shape our girl into the wonderful little person she is today, building confidence and curiosity and making every day fun. Thank you to everyone at Montessori Academy Gungahlin. It's difficult as a parent to leave your baby in someone else's hands, but we are very happy we found you!!! ❤️

I am very glad we chose this childcare, 100% satisfied with the services and care they provide. The site is quite secure, with surveillance cameras everywhere. Access is restricted. The staff actually care about the kids. They do a fantastic job dealing with the kids' separation anxiety.
Hi Fathering Lessons, Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review. We are pleased to hear about your experience at Gungahlin Montessori Academy childcare and preschool. It is great to know that you feel confident in our secure environment and that our team provides caring, thoughtful support for children. We truly appreciate your kind words and trust in our team to care for your child. Warm regards, Montessori Academy
