Karuna Montessori Preschool

Karuna Montessori is an absolute gem and we are thrilled to have found it for our daughter who has been enrolled now for two years. The classroom, the beautiful grounds, and the teachers feel like a home away from home for her, and the wider staff and parent community feels like one big family. What struck us most when we visited the school was how calm and comfortable the children were - the antithesis from what we had experienced at day care. It allows the children to explore their surroundings with confidence and it bears witness in how our daughter has blossomed, and developed both socially and academically. The school is focused on instilling Montessori principals and fostering a sense of independence and curiosity in the children. It's a real joy to see them navigate the materials and their work together, calmly and with confidence. The varied enrollment options provide enormous flexibility and coverage for even the busiest families. We couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Karuna is a wonderful little preschool in Narraweena which has been perfect for our daughter this past year. The educators are professional, experienced and nurturing and the kids really respond well to them. They spend time learning about the world around them and have amazing creative art projects every week. There is a wide range of activities from yoga to cooking to gardening and they really make the most of the outside time in the beautiful garden. There is a real sense of community at Karuna, the fact it is only a small preschool means all the kids are very close. There are many opportunities for parents and grandparents to come and see what they have been working on or to celebrate special days. You can see how proud the kids are of their work and their school when families come to visit. I would highly recommend Karuna to anyone looking to give their kids a great start at a very caring preschool. I only wish we had started my daughter here earlier!
