The Australian Government Child Care Subsidy (CCS) may cover 50–90% of your childcare fees, depending on your family income and recognised work, study or training activity.

Most Montessori Academy families receive:

• Up to 90% fee support — Family income under $80,000
• Approximately 60–85% fee support — Family income $80,000–$180,000
• Around 50–60% fee support — Family income over $180,000

This means many families contribute only a portion of the full daily fee, making premium Montessori education more accessible than many expect.

96% of our centres are rated Meeting or Exceeding the National Quality Standard by ACECQA, placing us among Australia’s top-rated providers.

Montessori classrooms are carefully prepared environments that build focus, independence and strong academic foundations from the start.

Research shows Montessori-educated children often outperform their peers in literacy, mathematical thinking, executive function, social skills and self-motivation.

The qualities they develop, concentration, persistence, curiosity and self-direction are exactly what primary school teachers say children need most.

Montessori doesn’t just prepare children for school. It prepares them for life.

It’s completely normal to feel concerned. Separation anxiety is a natural part of early childhood, and our educators are specially trained to support both children and parents through a gentle transition.

Most children settle within a few weeks, and many are confidently walking in by week three.

We’re here to support your whole family every step of the way.

All educators hold ACECQA-recognised qualifications, valid Working With Children Checks, current First Aid certifications, and complete mandatory Child Protection Training in line with the National Quality Framework.

Beyond compliance, our team undertakes extensive Montessori-specific training, ensuring children benefit from both rigorous safety standards and authentic Montessori expertise.

Our educator-to-child ratios meet or exceed National Regulations, supporting close supervision and individualised care.

Waitlist timeframes vary by centre and program. Some age groups may have immediate availability, while others can be booked 12 months or more in advance.

We encourage families to enquire early to secure their preferred start date.

Montessori recognises that every child is unique, allowing them to learn at their own pace within a calm, structured environment.

Our educators work closely with families to understand each child’s strengths and support them to grow with confidence.

Montessori is about meeting each child where they are and helping them move forward with confidence.

Each day follows a calm, predictable routine, beginning with the Montessori Work Cycle — an uninterrupted period of purposeful learning tailored to each age group. Throughout the day, children engage in group experiences, music and movement, outdoor exploration, nourishing meals, restorative rest and opportunities for free play, creating a balanced environment that supports the whole child.
