Montessori Academy is pleased to announce that our Penrith campus has been awarded an Exceeding National Quality Standard (NQS) Rating following their assessment and rating by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA).

If you’ve ever been in a Montessori Academy classroom around 9am, you might be surprised by what you see and hear. Young children aren’t usually known for being quiet or overly attentive for long periods of time. However, during the first few hours of the Montessori preschool day, children are highly focused on their own chosen tasks, usually individually, under the guidance of a trained teacher.

The human mind is by nature mathematical. From birth we learn the meaning of phrases such as “how old are you?” and “we’re leaving in one hour.” The capabilities of the mathematics mind are present in the mind of the child. An infant is able to understand the difference between one and many.

Montessori Academy is pleased to announce the appointment of Rami Nassif to the role of Group General Manager for Montessori Academy.

Starting the new school year is an exciting time, but it can also be challenging for some children. Below are our top six tips for preparing for a great year with Montessori Academy.

The importance of early childhood education to children’s lives is beyond question. A good beginning to life is well recognised as the foundation for future development, health and wellbeing, not only in the early years, but also throughout life.

According to Montessori Theory, the development of literacy begins long before children start primary school, and is acquired in a variety of ways at different ages.
