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 cannot speak highly enough of the care and support my child has received from Ms Zerrin. Over the time, I’ve watched my child grow not only academically, but also emotionally and socially. Ms Zerrin played a huge role in helping my child become more confident, compassionate, responsible and making good choices. My child absolutely loves spending time at Montosorri and as a parent, that peace of mind is priceless. I am deeply grateful for the support and care Ms Zerrin and other educators have provided to us. A big thank you to All the educators at Montosorri for making our experience so wonderful!

We had a really good experience with both daughters here. Any concerns were adresses and if we felt a change needed to be made to personalise their experience, we were heard. The teachers here are very genuine. Its also very clean and tidy and they got sick alot less than previous center. Both daughters loved it and would recommend it to parents who want a but more care than just child care.

Templestowe Montessori Academy has been nothing short of amazing for our family. Over the past six months, both of our children have absolutely thrived in this nurturing and engaging environment. The educators beautifully balance structure with play, encouraging independence, curiosity, and letting each child’s unique personality shine. It’s a place where learning feels like a joyful adventure, and childhood is truly celebrated. One of the things we’ve appreciated most is the strong sense of community. The centre embraces the multicultural backgrounds of its families, marking special occasions with warmth and inclusivity. Events like Mother’s and Father’s Day are not only acknowledged — they’re made genuinely meaningful with thoughtful celebrations that include the whole family. The facility itself is impressive: brand new, spotless, and filled with educational toys and plenty of outdoor space for children to explore. From the moment our children step through the door, they are warmly greeted by name and with the warmest smile from Ms Harsha — something that makes them feel instantly seen and valued. This is always followed by the warmest, most caring embraces from their educators, and it’s clear how much the staff love having them there. Their attention to detail—even when it comes to managing our children's food allergies—has given us incredible peace of mind. A huge thank you and shoutout to the wonderful educators in rooms Infant 1 and Cycle 1A — your kindness, energy, and dedication mean the world to our family.
