Montessori Curriculum

Montessori is a method of education that is personalised to each child’s learning style, stage of development, and interests. Children develop complete academic and wellbeing foundations through hands-on experience, real-world application, and problem-solving using the Montessori Method of education.

Discover how the curriculum incorporates the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) to nurture children’s academic and well-being foundations.

More Information

As Father’s Day approaches, many parents are looking for creative ways to involve their children in the celebration. At Montessori Academy, we believe that nurturing creativity through hands-on activities is vital for a child’s development. Crafting personalised gifts for Dad not only makes the day special but also helps children learn valuable skills in line with Montessori principles.

Saturday 17th August 2024 marked the grand opening of Montessori Academy’s second Toongabbie early learning centre at 9 Metella Road, Toongabbie NSW 2146.

Creating a Montessori-inspired quiet area at home is a wonderful way to provide children with a tranquil space for rest and reflection. Also referred to as “peace corners” or “quiet corners” in our Montessori classrooms, these spaces help children develop self-regulation, emotional intelligence, and a sense of calm. At Montessori Academy, peace corners are integral to our classrooms, encouraging children to take a break and reflect whenever they need to. 

Montessori values emphasise independence, respect, and a love for learning. These principles help children develop self-confidence, focus, and responsibility. At Montessori Academy, we believe that extending these values into the home environment can reinforce and enhance your child’s growth.

Emotional intelligence (EI) is all about understanding and managing our emotions and those of others. In young children, developing EI is vital as it helps them build strong relationships, succeed in school, and grow into well-rounded individuals. For preschoolers, learning to recognise and express their emotions can also boost their literacy skills by enhancing their communication abilities.
