Find Childcare and Preschool Centres in Narellan

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 serve children well beyond their time at our Narellan childcare centre and into their school years and beyond.

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

All three Montessori Academy centres in Narellan cater for children from 6 weeks to 6 years of age, covering nursery, toddler, and preschool rooms.

Whether you are looking for infant care in Narellan, a toddler program in Narellan Vale, or a structured preschool program to prepare your child for Kindergarten at a local school such as Narellan Public School or St Clare's Catholic Primary, we have a place for your child at every stage.

Yes. All Montessori Academy centres in Narellan are approved childcare services, meaning families may be eligible for the Australian Government's Child Care Subsidy (CCS). Montessori Academy charges a daily fee rate, and your CCS entitlement is applied directly to reduce your out-of-pocket costs.

Many families across Narellan, Narellan Vale, Mount Annan, Harrington Park, and Elderslie are pleasantly surprised by how affordable high-quality Montessori education can be once their CCS is applied. Our Family Care Team can help you understand your entitlement and estimate your weekly costs before you enrol.

The first step is to book a tour at your preferred Narellan centre. Our centre manager will personally show you around, answer your questions, and walk you through the enrolment process at your own pace.

A tour is one of the best ways to experience the Montessori difference for yourself — you will see how children move purposefully through their environment, choose their own work, and engage deeply with their learning. We warmly encourage you to bring your child along too.

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

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 own 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 — not just children who are kept busy and happy during the day.

Absolutely — and we encourage it. A tour is the best way to experience Narellan Montessori Academy for yourself. Come and see the Montessori work cycle in action, meet our team, and explore the classrooms and outdoor spaces your child will call their own.

With a growing number of childcare options across Narellan, Narellan Vale, Mount Annan, and the broader Camden area, it is worth looking beyond location and price to ask what your child will truly 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 will not only care for your child — it will feel like a true early education partner, actively helping them grow into an independent, confident, and curious learner.
