Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to feel confident before getting started at one of our Belmore Childcare Centres.

What is the difference between Montessori and standard childcare? +

Montessori education is a child-led approach where children choose their own activities from a carefully prepared environment. Rather than following a teacher-directed timetable, children work at their own pace, guided by educators who act as facilitators rather than instructors.

This approach fosters deep independence, concentration, and a genuine love of learning from a very early age, qualities that support children throughout their time at Montessori Academy and into their school years and beyond.

Our focus isn't on entertaining children. It's on activating their natural desire to learn.

What ages do your Belmore centres cater for? +

Both Montessori Academy locations in Belmore cater for children from 6 weeks to 6 years of age, with programs designed for infants, toddlers and preschool-aged children.

Belmore Montessori Academy on Harp Street is currently open, while Belmore Central on Burwood Road is opening in early 2027. Both locations are designed to support children through each stage of early development and prepare them for a confident transition to school.

Are your Belmore centres eligible for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS)? +

Belmore Montessori Academy on Harp Street is an approved childcare service, meaning eligible families can access the Australian Government's Child Care Subsidy (CCS) to reduce their out-of-pocket childcare costs.

Belmore Central is opening in early 2027, with further enrolment and subsidy information to be confirmed closer to opening. Our Family Care Team can help families understand their CCS entitlement and estimate their childcare costs before enrolling.

How do I enrol my child at one of Montessori Academy's Belmore Childcare Centres? +

For Belmore Montessori Academy on Harp Street, the first step is to book a tour. Our centre team will show you around, answer your questions and guide you through the enrolment process at your own pace.

For Belmore Central, families can join the waiting list ahead of the centre's early 2027 opening. Tour bookings will become available closer to opening.

If you would prefer to speak with someone first, our Family Care Team is available on 1300 000 162 and would love to help you find the right option for your family.

What is the NQS rating for your Belmore centres? +

Belmore Montessori Academy on Harp Street is rated Meeting the National Quality Standard (NQS).

Belmore Central is not yet operational and therefore does not currently have an NQS rating. Families will be able to view its rating once the service has opened and completed the relevant assessment and rating process.

You can verify a centre's NQS rating directly at the ACECQA National Register.

How is Montessori different to play-based childcare? +

Montessori is a structured, hands-on approach to early learning where children learn through purposeful activity, repetition and real understanding. Using scientifically designed materials in carefully prepared environments, children choose their own work, follow their interests and build independence, concentration, coordination and academic foundations at their own pace.

The result is children who become capable, confident learners through meaningful experiences in practical life, language, mathematics, sensorial learning, culture and social development, rather than simply being kept busy throughout the day.

Can I book a tour before enrolling? +

Absolutely. Families considering Belmore Montessori Academy on Harp Street are encouraged to book a tour before enrolling. It is the best way to see the Montessori work cycle in action, meet our educators and explore the classrooms and outdoor spaces your child will enjoy.

Tours for Belmore Central are not yet available and will open closer to the centre's early 2027 opening. If your preferred Belmore tour time isn't available online, please call our Family Care Team on 1300 000 162.

What should I look for when comparing childcare centres in Belmore? +

With childcare options across Belmore, Belfield, Campsie, Lakemba, Roselands and the wider Canterbury-Bankstown area, it is worth looking beyond location and price to consider what your child will genuinely gain from the experience.

Consider what is included in the daily fee, how the program prepares children for school, how educators support each child's individual development and whether the environment feels calm, safe and purposeful. Ask about the centre's NQS rating, educator qualifications and how they communicate with families day to day.

The right centre should not only care for your child. It should feel like a genuine early education partner, helping them grow into an independent, confident and curious learner.
