Montessori education stands apart from traditional childcare by prioritising personalised learning.

Montessori environments provide specially designed materials and guidance for hands-on, active learning, empowering children to discover their full potential. 

They observe children’s interests, direct them towards activities suited to their stage of development, and create a positive atmosphere for learning that allows children to discover learning outcomes in their own time.

    The staff is super friendly and genuinely cares about each child. They really take the time to get to know the kids and tailor their learning experiences to fit their interests.What I love most is how they focus on both academics and emotional growth. It’s clear that they want to help kids become independent thinkers while also feeling secure and happy.

    My 2 year old son is thriving at Montessori Academy. The teachers are hands on, friendly and always warm and inviting to both my son and myself when we arrive, ready to greet him with the cuddle he needs to settle into the day ahead. It’s been almost a year and he’s the happiest here with his friends and teachers, learning new words all the time, combined with play, songs, reading and learning the Montessori cycle. It was especially interesting watching him eating with his piers at mealtime as a great way for him to learn how to feed himself in the most careful and considered way. Whenever I return to collect him, he wants to stay longer to show me all the activities and fun he’s had that day. We are very happy here. Thankyou Elsternwick Montessori Academy for nurturing my boy and allowing me to feel very safe and happy that he’s in the most professional of hands.

    We are grateful to have found Montessori Academy at a vulnerable time but our little boy loves his time here thanks to his caring educators! There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing him run into his classroom in the morning with a big smile on his face. The learning environment is so rich & inviting. I love how the everyone is encouraged to learn independently at their own pace! Each day, he and his little friends get to choose what they want to learn about and dive deep into it. During a recent trip back to Europe, our families were amazed by his language skills and independence and I can safely say that it wouldn’t be the case without the opportunity to be part of such an inclusive and social environment. The daily photos and updates are super appreciated. Thanks team!

    Dear Amelie, Thank you for the wonderful 5-star review! We're delighted to hear how your little one is socially and academically thriving at our kinder! The Montessori curriculum definitely celebrates each child's unique learning style and interests. To hear that your extended families from Europe are in awe of your child's development is incredibly heartwarming, and a testament to the wonderful work that our educators do. We greatly appreciate your kind words and look forward to continually supporting your little one at our service. Kind regards, Montessori Academy
