Our 4-year-old has been attending Climbing Ladders Stanhope Gardens for the past year, starting in the Inventors classroom. She took some time to settle in initially, and drop-offs were quite difficult with lots of tears. From the very beginning, the centre manager Ms Rose was absolutely amazing in helping her feel comfortable and at ease each day. Very quickly, our daughter began looking forward to her morning cuddles with Ms Rose, which made such a positive difference in her transition. The educators in the Inventors room — especially Ms Maryam, Ms Saama, and Ms Ruba — truly went above and beyond. They showed exceptional warmth, love, and patience, and supported her with so much care until she felt confident and comfortable in her new environment. We cannot thank them enough for everything they have done for her. Although she has now moved on to the Pioneers preschool classroom, she still looks for her favourite Inventors educators every morning to give them a cuddle, which speaks volumes about the strong bond they created with her. Each day when we drop her off, we feel completely reassured knowing she is in good hands — in a place where she feels safe, supported, and genuinely loved.

Get To Know Us

Programs

Programs

At Climbing Ladders Early Learning & Montessori Centre we are dedicated to providing a high-quality early learning experience that nurtures children's growth and development. Our program is designed with the following key elements:

  • Framework-based Approach: Our curriculum is guided by The Early Years Learning Framework, National Quality Standards, and The Montessori Method of Education. These principles form the foundation for quality teaching and learning.
  • Play-based Learning: We believe in the power of play as a vehicle for learning. Our program emphasises play-based activities that promote communication, language, social, and emotional development.
  • Reading Program: Our highlight is the development of early literacy skills through our engaging reading program. We foster a love for books and provide opportunities for children to explore the world of language and storytelling.
  • Quality Areas: Our centre prioritises excellence across seven key areas, including educational program and practice, children's health and safety, the physical environment, staffing arrangements, relationships with children, collaborative partnerships with families and communities, and governance and leadership.
  • Montessori Curriculum: We offer a holistic education program based on the Montessori Curriculum. This encompasses five key learning areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language, and Culture. Our curriculum is tailored to meet the unique needs and interests of each child.
  • Personalised Approach: Family input, individual and group interests, educator-initiated learning, and hands-on experiences shape our daily program. We value collaboration and strive to create a learning environment that supports each child's growth.
About the curriculum

About the curriculum

Through our carefully crafted curriculum, we strive to create an enriching and stimulating learning journey for children at each stage of their development.

Explorers (0-12 months):

Our dedicated room is designed to cater to the needs of babies aged 6 weeks to 12 months. In this nurturing and safe environment, our goal is to foster curiosity and exploration while providing engaging learning experiences.

Climbers (12-24 months):

As babies transition to this room, our curriculum includes specially designed infant materials to support their emerging abilities. We focus on developing skills such as hand-eye coordination, visual discrimination, and fine and gross motor skills, boosting their confidence along the way.

Investigators (2-3 years):

In both our Investigators and Discoverers rooms, we encourage sensory-based learning. Toddlers are introduced to materials that promote functional independence, autonomy, and respect for diversity. We provide opportunities to refine motor skills and encourage critical thinking and experimentation.

Discoverers (2-3 years):

Similar to our Investigators room, Discoverers also focuses on sensory-based learning and the growth of independence and autonomy. Children continue to develop motor skills while nurturing respect for diversity and their environment. Critical thinking and experimentation are encouraged.

Inventors (3-4 years):

At this stage, children become sensorial explorers, absorbing knowledge about the world around them. Our Preschool Education Program fulfills their innate desire to learn through direct sensory experiences and self-teaching materials. Language, culture, and their environment are key elements of their exploration.

Pioneers (4-5 years):

Our upper Preschool Program takes children to the next level, covering key curriculum areas such as STEM, music, art, and physical education. We foster individualism, concentration, and self-correction while providing ample opportunities for imaginative exploration and creative self-expression.

We had a wonderful experience with Climbing Ladders Childcare, and I was very happy overall. My daughter felt comfortable, happy, and safe there, which was the most important thing for me as a parent. The educational program was excellent, and the educators were very professional and caring. Miss Rose, Miss Riya, and Miss Nikita, along with all the teachers, were incredibly kind, friendly, and supportive. Their warm and friendly attitude made a big difference for my daughter. I highly recommend Climbing Ladder Childcare to other parents.
