Welcome to Greenacre Montessori Academy. Our Greenacre early learning campus delivers Australia’s most comprehensive and fun early education program for children aged 2 – 6 years. We are conveniently located at 84 Banksia Road, Greenacre across from Banksia Road Primary School.
Our Greenacre educational team deliver a tailored Montessori early learning program that is specifically designed to help each child achieve their full potential. Our core focus is on teaching our students the foundational knowledge and skills that will empower them to succeed at school and in later life. This includes a strong focus on practical life skills, sensorial education, literacy, mathematics, science, geography, culture and art.
Most unique about Greenacre Montessori, is our scientifically based approach to learning that is focused on the holistic development of the child. We believe that every child is a natural born scientist, and that the world is their laboratory. Through hands-on learning experiences using specially designed Montessori materials, we inspire our students to activate their own “inner teacher” so that they actively participate in, and embrace, education as a foundation for life.

Montessori Education Program
Our Greenacre child care centre offers a melded Montessori education program that covers two syllabuses, the Montessori Curriculum, and the Australian Government’s Early Years Learning Framework. Our modern Montessori education program covers: Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language, Culture, Geography, Science and Art. As children progress through the Montessori Curriculum, they encounter more challenging learning materials that are appropriate to both age and skill levels. In this way, Montessori education is child-focused, as opposed to teaching at a class level. To learn more about the principles that guide the Montessori education program, click here.
Classrooms
Our Greenacre child care campus has two spacious Montessori classrooms that are specifically designed to meet the developmental needs and interests of the children in each age group. Each classroom is fitted out with child-sized furniture, a full suite of Montessori learning materials, and a range of play-based resources to encourage hands-on learning experiences. Another unique feature of our Greenacre classrooms is that they are prepared environments. Our Greenacre campus classrooms are specifically designed to encourage interest and activity. The Montessori materials are displayed on low open shelves, the classrooms are beautiful, and there is a distinct sense of order. This logical structure encourages children to organise their thinking, progress from easiest to hardest, and absorb learning outcomes at their own pace. In effect, creating the optimal learning environment for children.
Montessori Materials
Each classroom at Greenacre Montessori Academy contains a full suite of authentic Montessori learning materials sourced from Neinhaus and Bruins, the leading providers of Montessori materials internationally. Montessori materials are sensory-based learning tools that are designed to isolate one skill or concept. The materials encourage hands-on learning, independent problem solving, and analytical thinking. Most unique about these hands-on learning tools is that each material is designed with a visual control of error. This allows children to work with the materials and discover the learning outcome through repetition and practice. Working with the Montessori materials teach children how to develop the skills of ‘Executive Function,’ such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, independence, and intrinsic motivation.
Outdoor Play
Our Greenacre child care centre offers vibrant a outdoor play area that is bright, expansive, and well resourced. The campus’ outdoor play area is equipped with children’s gardens, fixed play equipment, tricycles, art area, and sandpit. The outdoor area is set up daily with a range of activities to meet the children’s needs and interests. The students also enjoy a range of extracurricular activities, including: football and soccer skills, yoga classes, dance classes, and munch and move. Extracurricular activities are based on the interests of families in the service.
Educational Team
Our Greenacre core team have been working together for more than five years. They are committed to the Montessori philosophy of education, and delivering an exceptional early learning experience, that is based on the developmental needs and interests of each individual child in their care.
