With over 10 years of experience at Montessori Academy, and a Diploma in Children’s Services, I have grown my career in early childhood education from an educator in the 0–2 classroom through to my current role as Centre Manager.
I am deeply passionate about Montessori education and supporting children to discover their interests, build meaningful friendships, and grow into kind, curious and independent learners.

The Montessori Difference
The Montessori difference — a proven approach to learning that you can see, touch and feel.
Child-Led Learning
Montessori is a proven, child-led approach to learning that nurtures the whole child, grounded in Doctor Montessori's research on how children naturally learn.
In a prepared environment, children explore hands-on materials at their own pace, guided by educators to build confidence, independence, and skills for life.
Montessori Materials
Montessori materials are scientifically designed to support your child’s learning step by step, building confidence and deep understanding through repetition and practice.
Children choose activities, work at their own pace, and learn through hands-on experiences. Montessori is learning you can feel.
Prepared Environment
Our prepared environments are calm, intentionally designed learning spaces that support freedom of movement, choice, and independence, with a strong sense of routine and order.
Each classroom is thoughtfully arranged for each stage of development and every material has a purpose and place. This structure helps children feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Montessori different to play-based childcare?
Montessori education is a structured, hands-on approach where children learn through carefully designed materials within a prepared environment. While play-based programs focus on open-ended play, Montessori guides children through purposeful activities that build independence, concentration, and real-life skills, helping them develop strong foundations for school and life.
How qualified are your educators?
All educators hold ACECQA-recognised qualifications, valid Working With Children Checks, current First Aid certifications, and complete mandatory Child Protection Training in line with the National Quality Framework.
Beyond compliance, our team undertakes extensive Montessori-specific training, ensuring children benefit from both rigorous safety standards and authentic Montessori expertise.
Our educator-to-child ratios meet or exceed National Regulations, supporting close supervision and individualised care.
How long will it take for my child to settle?
It’s completely normal to feel concerned. Separation anxiety is a natural part of early childhood, and our educators are specially trained to support both children and parents through a gentle transition.
Most children settle within a few weeks, and many are confidently walking in by week three.
We’re here to support your whole family every step of the way.
Will my child be ready for school?
Montessori classrooms are carefully prepared environments that build focus, independence and strong academic foundations from the start.
Research shows Montessori-educated children often outperform their peers in literacy, mathematical thinking, executive function, social skills and self-motivation.
The qualities they develop, concentration, persistence, curiosity and self-direction are exactly what primary school teachers say children need most.
Montessori doesn’t just prepare children for school. It prepares them for life.
Is Montessori suitable for all children?
Montessori recognises that every child is unique, allowing them to learn at their own pace within a calm, structured environment.
Our educators work closely with families to understand each child’s strengths and support them to grow with confidence.
Montessori is about meeting each child where they are and helping them move forward with confidence.
What does a typical day look like?
Each day follows a calm, predictable routine, beginning with the Montessori Work Cycle — an uninterrupted period of purposeful learning tailored to each age group. Throughout the day, children engage in group experiences, music and movement, outdoor exploration, nourishing meals, restorative rest and opportunities for free play, creating a balanced environment that supports the whole child.
Montessori is
preparation for school,
an advantage for life.
