Avenues Montessori Children's House

Paramount to our philosophy is that everyone has a voice, and that voice connects our community in meaningful partnerships. Secure, respectful, and reciprocal relationships with parents, children and stakeholders ensure the community's views are welcomed and reflected in our practice.

The rights of the child and the promotion of inclusivity are embraced and embedded in the mixed-age groups offered in each prepared environment. This allows children the freedom to explore, develop, and be within a safe and protected learning landscape. It is this combination that creates stability, consistency, and continuity of educators and practices that present opportunities for individual growth and learning.

The Montessori philosophy and teaching methods embedded in the service aim to provide opportunities to develop the whole child, ultimately preparing the child for life’s many rich experiences. Learning in natural environments, alongside sustainable strategies, allows the community to develop its awareness and understanding of conscious environmental practices.

We honour and embrace the diversity of families’ lifestyle choices, cultures, and traditions and acknowledge the depth they bring to our programs. These collaborative relationships underpin our connection to the community that drives our constant improvement. We are committed to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and embedding the First Nation culture into our programs.

We believe every child and educator can achieve their fullest potential by nurturing happy and healthy minds, hearts, and bodies. Our partnerships and professional collaborations guide ongoing learning and reflective practices, which are critical to the well-being of our community. Our committed and knowledgeable staff contribute to the confidence and success of Avenues Montessori, which inevitably supports the learning-for-life mindset we foster.
