Balgownie Preschool and Montessori Centre

Located in between the ocean and the escarpment in the beautiful region of the Illawarra, Balgownie Centre is proud to offer exceptional care and education to the community between the ages of 2-5 years. We have two rooms, one for children aged 2-3 and the other from 3 to 5 years of age with a maximum of 32 children per day.

We believe, and research indicates, that the first six years of a child’s life are the most important for learning. It’s where children absorb, develop and explore and it’s where attitudes and patterns of learning are formed that last a lifetime. No other education captures the passion and sheer joy for learning the way a Montessori education does. Give your child the best start in life!

Balgownie Centre’s educators provide prepared environments and experiences that take advantage of both the outdoor and indoor spaces which provides opportunities for problem solving, creative exploration, heritage and cultural experiences, fun and social interactions where children explore, discover and connect to the land.
