About our Crows Nest Childcare & Preschool
Located above Coles at 111 Willoughby Road, Montessori Academy’s Crows Nest childcare centre offers a convenient and welcoming space for children aged 0 to 6 years. As part of a leading network of childcare centres across Sydney, we provide high-quality early education and care in a purpose-built environment designed to support every stage of your child’s development.
Our purpose-built, two-level centre features three spacious Montessori classrooms filled with hands-on learning materials that spark curiosity and build independence.
We’re open Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 6:00pm, with nutritious meals provided, a sun-safe and allergy-aware approach, and easy on-site parking for drop-off and pick-up.
Discover a place where your child can thrive, learn, and grow with confidence.
A Place for Your Child to Grow, Explore, and Learn
Step outside the classrooms and you’ll find two inviting outdoor play spaces designed to inspire children through active exploration and discovery. The 0-2 area is a delightful world of gardens, a sandpit, a cozy teepee, climbing equipment, soft spaces, a slide, water play, and plenty of room for little ones to crawl, walk, and run freely. For children aged 2 to 6, the outdoor space comes alive with a fort, slides, a bike track, a cubby house, a dramatic play corner with dress-ups, sandpit, gardens, water play, and so much more — all crafted to encourage imagination and physical development.
Inside, our passionate Montessori educators tailor the curriculum to each child’s unique interests and developmental stage. They observe closely, gently guiding children toward activities that inspire independent discovery and confidence, all within a warm and positive learning environment.
From the vibrant classrooms to the bustling outdoor spaces, every corner of our daycare centre is designed to nurture your child’s natural curiosity and growth. We look forward to welcoming you in and sharing how Montessori education can make a meaningful difference in your child’s early years.
