Welcome to Our Croydon Childcare & Preschool

This is where it all began! Our Croydon Childcare and Preschool is Montessori Academy’s very first centre, and it holds a special place in our hearts. Located at 57 Edwin Street South, just a quick 3-minute walk from Croydon station, it’s perfect for families from Croydon and nearby Ashfield.

As one of the leading childcare and early learning centres in NSW and Sydney, we offer authentic Montessori programs for children aged 15 months to 6 years in a childcare centre that meets the National Quality Standard (NQS).

A Place Where Your Child Can Grow and Explore

At our Croydon preschool and daycare, we’ve created three welcoming classrooms with Montessori materials that help each child learn and grow at their own pace. Our dedicated Montessori-trained educators, many of whom have been here for years, ensure every child feels safe and supported.

Beyond the classroom, the outdoor play area features climbing equipment, slides, bikes, a dramatic play corner, dress-ups, a sandpit, gardens, and even a water play space, everything your child needs to explore, play, and learn.

We also keep families connected with daily updates through our parent app, so you’re always part of your child’s journey.
