Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to feel confident before getting started.

When is Pimpama Montessori Academy opening? +

Pending Service Approval/Transfer, we expect the move to Montessori Academy to be complete by early 2027. We are here to support your family through the transition. If you have any questions, call our team on 1300 000 162 or send us a message, and our family care team will be in touch.

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 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.

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

Can I book a tour before joining the waitlist or enrolling? +

Absolutely. Once the centre starts accepting tours, we encourage every family to visit the centre before making a decision.

A tour is one of the best ways to understand the difference Montessori can make. It gives you the opportunity to explore our classrooms, meet our team, see how children learn in a calm and engaging environment, and ask the questions that matter most to your family. If your child is coming on the tour too, we warmly encourage it as it helps you picture their experience more clearly.

Does Montessori Academy help prepare children for school? +

Yes. School readiness starts from infancy and is built every day through the skills children develop in the Montessori environment.

At Montessori Academy, children build the foundations for school and life through hands-on learning that supports early literacy, numeracy, concentration, independence, social skills, confidence, and responsibility. Rather than being treated as a short-term preschool add-on, school readiness is embedded throughout your child's entire learning journey.

Can I join the waitlist before my baby is born? +

Yes. Many families begin their childcare search while they are still expecting, especially in high-demand areas like .

Joining the waitlist early can help you plan ahead and gives you the best chance of securing your preferred start date and care pattern. Our Family Care Team will guide you through every step, from what we need now to what can be updated once your baby arrives.

How do you help babies and new children settle into care? +

We know that starting childcare is a big transition for both children and parents. Our approach is warm, responsive, and individual to each child.

For infants and younger children especially, we work closely with families to understand home routines, comfort needs, sleep patterns, feeding preferences, and temperament. Our goal is to build trust first, because children thrive when they feel safe, known, and secure.

How will I know what my child is doing each day? +

Strong communication with families is at the heart of the Montessori Academy experience.

From morning and afternoon handover to daily updates via our parent app, monthly learning observations, and developmental milestone reports, we make sure you are always close to your child's world.

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

When comparing childcare centres, look beyond surface features and 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.

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.
