Quality Templestowe Childcare & Kindergarten
Welcome to Montessori Academy Templestowe Kindergarten and Childcare Centre, where we provide high-quality care for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years in a warm and welcoming environment. Conveniently located at 36–38 Parker Street, Templestowe, we offer long day care from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with nutritious meals and nappies included.
Our spacious, light-filled rooms are thoughtfully designed to support both safety and early development. The open layout allows for easy supervision while encouraging independent exploration and social connection. With secure outdoor areas and purpose-built learning spaces, your child will have plenty of room to move, discover, and thrive.
Confident School Readiness and Early Learning
Our Victorian government-approved kindergarten program is delivered by Montessori-trained early childhood teachers who support each child’s learning at their own pace. We focus on building strong foundations in early literacy, numeracy, communication, and problem-solving skills through hands-on discovery and exploration.
The open, flexible learning environment encourages children to follow their interests and develop independence, all while being guided by caring educators. We also prioritise social and emotional development to ensure children grow confident and ready for school.
