The Montessori Approach

The Montessori approach to early childhood education is based on the teachings of Doctor Maria Montessori, Italyâ€™s first female Doctor and Psychiatrist.

Doctor Maria Montessori developed the philosophy and principles of Montessori education over a period of more than 50 years.

During this time she observed children from a vast range of ethnic, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds, and documented their development journey from birth to maturity.

Her findings, together with an extensive range of self-teaching learning materials, came to be known as Montessori Education.

The principles of Montessori Education are founded on the observation that children have a natural love of learning.

The Montessori classroom provides children with an ordered and engaging learning environment where they are free to respond to their natural tendency to work.

Education must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentialities.

Established in 2000, Montessori Academy is Australiaâ€™s leading and largest provider of Montessori early education for children under the age of six.

Our vision is to provide our students with an exceptional early learning experience that prepares them, not only for school, but for life.

Building on the pioneering educational principles established by Doctor Maria Montessori, we deliver a modern Montessori early learning program that is tailored to the Australian Governmentâ€™s Early Years Learning Framework.

By delivering a blended curriculum, we ensure that our students actively participate in a complete care and education program that integrates the intellectual, emotional, spiritual, physical and social aspects of child development.

Distinguishing Montessori Academy, is that we take pride in being more than an educational childcare service. Our goal is to partner with our families to facilitate and guide each childâ€™s unique development journey, while nurturing and respecting their family, community and cultural background.

Through our commitment to excellence, collaborative partnerships with our families, and a genuine passion for childrenâ€™s education, we aim to help each child achieve their full developmental potential.

With more than 20 locations across Sydney, our purpose built early learning campuses truly do prepare our students for school and life success.

We are proud to have provided more than 5,000 children across Australia with the benefits of Montessori early education, and to be an employer of choice within the early childhood education industry.
