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.

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.

With diverse strengths and expertise, our educators create a warm and inclusive environment where children thrive. We value collaboration and continuous professional development to ensure the best learning experiences for our children.

At Climbing Ladders, we believe in strong partnerships with families. We actively involve parents and caregivers, fostering open communication and creating a supportive learning community.

With unwavering dedication and genuine love for what we do, our team creates a safe and inspiring space where children can explore their full potential. 

At Climbing Ladders Early Learning & Montessori Centre, we understand the crucial role parents play in their child's educational journey, and we strive to maintain open and transparent lines of communication.

Through daily updates, digital platforms, and newsletters, we keep parents well-informed about their child's experiences, upcoming events, and curriculum updates. We encourage active parental involvement through volunteering opportunities, special events, and workshops. By participating in our programs, parents gain insights into our curriculum and actively contribute to their child's educational experience.

With an open-door policy, we welcome discussions, suggestions, and feedback from parents. Together, we create a strong and supportive community where children thrive.

At Climbing Ladders, we value the partnership between parents and educators, working together to provide the best possible education and care for your child.
