Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

Montessori education is a personalised approach developed by Dr Maria Montessori, proven successful for over a century. It tailors learning to each child's style, stage, and interests, fostering academic and well-being foundations through hands-on experiences and real-world problem-solving. Montessori educators observe children's interests and guide them toward relevant materials for purposeful and engaging learning. This method acknowledges diverse learning paces and preferences, promoting respect, independence, and freedom for children to direct their own learning, leading to high motivation and a love for learning. 

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

Curriculum:

The curriculum at Montessori Academy follows a blended approach, drawing on both Montessori principles and the Early Years Learning Framework. The curriculum follows five key learning areas:

  • Practical Life: exercises and activities that children observe in daily life to develop their independence, concentration and fine motor skills. 
  • Sensorial: activities that help to refine the senses and lay the foundation of early mathematics, language and geometry.
  • Mathematics: hands on experiences that teach both abstract and concrete mathematical concepts.
  • Language: exercises that help the children to develop their vocabulary and understanding of language.
  • Cultural Studies: children learn about culture and community through subjects such as Geography, Botany, Zoology, Science, History, Music and Art.

The educators use Montessori materials to teach the curriculum and tailor the learning to each individual child.

Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

Montessori early learning centres differ from conventional preschools and childcare facilities. They create an ideal learning environment, offer customized educational materials, and provide guidance to support holistic child development. Montessori education is active, adaptable to each child's pace, encourages self-correction, and aligns with individual interests. Its overarching objective is to equip children with the knowledge and abilities needed for lifelong learning, fostering confidence, independence, and a thirst for knowledge. 

Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

Many families choose Montessori Academy because it aligns with their parenting style, beliefs about early childhood education, and their child's future aspirations. Those with a 'Montessori Mindset' believe in their children's immense capabilities and equally prioritize their well-being and academics. 

Selecting the right early education provider involves finding a place, people, and program that truly resonates with your family. Families choosing Montessori Academy place a high value on early childhood education and seek the best possible start in life for their child.

I have been part of the Montessori Templestowe community since it first opened, and prior to that my children attended another campus within the same network. I would not consider sending my children anywhere else. There is no greater reassurance than leaving your children in an environment where you know they are genuinely cared for, supported, and nurtured each day. I would particularly like to acknowledge Harsha, who is truly exceptional at what she does. She is incredibly warm, attentive, and nurturing, and she builds such meaningful relationships with the children. Her care and dedication have made a wonderful impact on my family. I would also like to recognise Rishav, who has invested so much time and patience into supporting my little boy. Thanks to his encouragement and guidance, my son has grown into a confident and expressive little person, and it has been beautiful to watch that development. We are very grateful for the care, professionalism, and commitment shown by the team at Montessori Templestowe.

Mina, Niva and the team have been fantastic! They are incredibly attentive and caring, and it’s clear they have a genuine interest in our son’s development. They’ve taken the time to share thoughtful suggestions for activities we can do at home, which we’ve really appreciated. It’s reassuring to know he’s in such supportive hands.
