About Montessori Care
Montessori Care is dedicated to providing in-home care services for the elderly and individuals living with disabilities. Grounded in the Montessori philosophy, Montessori Care delivers family-like support and programs that nurture independence, personal growth, and a profound sense of belonging.
Inspired by the pioneering work of Charles and Colette Assaf, the visionary founders of Montessori Academy Childcare Centres. Their unwavering belief in the Montessori philosophy has laid the foundation for Montessori Care’s commitment to extending these principles into aged care and disability support.
Montessori Care seamlessly aligns with the practices of Montessori Academy, as both organisations embrace the Montessori philosophy to foster individuality and independence. Just as Montessori Academy cultivates children’s learning experiences, Montessori care adapts these principles in aged care and disability services. This shared commitment to understanding and empowering individuals ensures that clients at Montessori Care receive personalised support that respects each person’s preferences but also empowers them to lead independent, fulfilling lives.
A Commitment to Quality Care
