Elimatta Montessori & Early Learning Centre

More than a childcare – A foundation for life.

In Aboriginal language, Elimatta means “our home,” symbolising belonging, safety, and nurturing. This reflects the environment we create for children and families at Elimatta Montessori and Early Learning Centre.

Our purpose-built boutique centre sits on spacious acreage in the leafy surrounds of Narre Warren North, at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges providing an ideal backdrop for children to learn, grow, and thrive.

As a family-owned and operated service, we are dedicated to warm, personalised care and strong partnerships with families. We value trust, connection, and excellence in education and wellbeing.

We follow authentic Montessori principles, complemented by the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF). In carefully prepared environments, children engage in hands-on, self-directed learning that nurtures independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of discovery. Our mission is to guide each child’s natural development and empower them to explore, create, and grow with curiosity and compassion.

We proudly deliver a government-approved Free Kinder program for 3- and 4-year-olds, ensuring all children have access to quality early education. This program supports every child’s social, emotional, and intellectual growth during their vital early years.

At Elimatta Montessori, our goal is to nurture confident, capable, and compassionate individuals ready to flourish in the world around them. We warmly invite you to join us on this journey and look forward to welcoming you and your child into the Elimatta family.
