Dapto Childcare & Early Learning Centre
A brand-new Montessori childcare and preschool is coming to 19 Jerrematta Street, Dapto NSW 2530 in Late-2024! This will be Montessori Academy’s first childcare in Wollongong.
The state-of-the-art Dapto daycare is currently under construction and is designed to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive and reach their full potential. As a Montessori early learning institution, we strongly believe in the power of hands-on learning, independence, and personalised guidance.
Featuring a contemporary design, the Wollongong Illawara region childcare will be equipped with educational materials that speak to the developmental needs of infant, toddler, and preschool children.
Once operational, the Dapto early learning centre will deliver bespoke Montessori early learning programs to children aged six weeks to six years. The childcare in Dapto will also offer nutritious catered meals, is sun-safe, allergy aware, and will have safe drop-off and pick-up parking.
With spacious classrooms, well-equipped play areas, and a secure outdoor space, we prioritise safety, engagement, and exploration. Our curriculum is designed to stimulate curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity through a combination of Montessori principles and mindful teaching practices. By integrating hands-on materials, child-led activities, and collaborative projects, we provide a dynamic learning environment that fosters independence and self-confidence.
Our Montessori trained and passionate educators are committed to fostering a love for learning in each child, while promoting holistic development across social, emotional, cognitive, and physical areas of well-being.
They observe children’s interests, direct them towards activities suited to their stage of development, and create a positive atmosphere for learning that allows children to discover learning outcomes in their own time.

The Montessori Curriculum offers children five key areas of study: Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language, and Culture. Each learning area is made up of a set of Montessori materials that each teach one key knowledge area or skill. Through repetition and practice, children develop a foundational understanding of each material, and master the core competencies within each curriculum area.
The Child Care Subsidy is a government payment that reduces families out-of-pocket costs for childcare, including: Centre Based Day Care, Family Day Care or Outside School Hours Care.
Each family’s Child Care Subsidy covers a percentage of the childcare centre’s daily fees. Families pay the gap fee. If you’re new to childcare we recommend that you apply for the claim as soon as possible. For more information, you can visit Services Australia.
