About Montessori Academy Gungahlin Childcare centre
Montessori Academy’s Gungahlin childcare centre is one of our trusted childcare centres in Canberra, conveniently located on Level One of the Big W Building in Gungahlin Marketplace at 33 Hibberson Street, Gungahlin ACT 2912. Our Gungahlin childcare centre for ages 0-6 offers nutritious catered meals, nappies and wipes, is sun-safe, allergy aware, and is open long daycare hours from 7:30am – 6:00pm on Monday to Friday.
Featuring a contemporary single-story design, our childcare centre in Gungahlin offers five spacious Montessori classrooms for children aged six weeks to six years. Each classroom is filled with unique educational materials that connect with children’s interests and needs at each stage of development to provide them with the optimal environment for learning.
A Nurturing Space for Growth, Play, and Discovery
At our Gungahlin childcare centre, learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Children enjoy four thoughtfully designed outdoor play areas, each filled with opportunities to explore, move, and connect with nature. For our youngest children (0–2 years), the spaces include gardens, a sandpit, climbing equipment, a mud kitchen, soft areas, a slide, playful animal figures, and water play, perfect for crawling, walking, and discovering the world around them.
Children aged 2–6 have even more to explore, with a fort, rock climbing wall, bike track, dramatic play corner, dress-ups, sandpit, water play, and so much more. Each area is designed to support active play, imagination, and joyful learning.
Our passionate Montessori educators take the time to understand every child. They gently guide them through activities matched to their stage of development, helping them grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity in a calm and supportive environment.
If you’re exploring early learning options, we’d love to show you around and share how Montessori can support your child’s unique journey.
