The team at Bright-On Bay Dental had the pleasure of visiting this centre to promote oral health to the children and community. The staff are such beautiful souls, Director Nina truly cares for all the children and has fostered an environment of trust and support. What truly sets Montessori By-The-Bay apart is their close-knit community with the children and parents. We had a huge turnout of families who participated within our dental program and the children exhibited exceptional behaviour. Big thank you to Marissa and the rest of the staff who showed kindness and compassion to the little ones during their check-ups. We wholeheartedly recommend this centre to any parent seeking a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.

My daughter attended Montessori by the bay for two years before she started Kindy this year. My child had a great time in the loving, nurturing environment of MBB and with experienced educators. It was truly a home away from home for her, where she was taken care of very well when we were working and learned many things including writing and reading. Educators made the transition to kindy very easy for us. Communicating with teachers was never a hassle. I would like to thank MBB for making this journey easy and joyful.

Montessori By-the-Bay Preschool is a very special place. The generous, skilful work of the wonderful staff creates a beautifully tended Montessori learning environment in which the children are lovingly nurtured as they are learning about languages, art, science, maths, gracious courtesy and respect, care for the environment and appreciation of our rich cultural diversity. I couldn't recommend a preschool more highly. Kind wishes, Jacqui (my daughter Sophie has attended Montessori By-The-Bay for the past three years)

Learning happens from the beginning of life. This is encouraged through joyous interactions with those around us. Your child's happiness and development are our priorities. 

At Montessori By-the-Bay we take great pleasure in providing a boutique, family run centre offering exceptional education and care to 25 children from 2 -  6 years. Each day children are cared for by outstanding educators in a warm, welcoming, Montessori environment which is specifically designed for children of this age. 

Montessori is known to provide an education which teaches children life skills and independence while offering enriched movement, language and mathematical concepts. At Montessori By-the-Bay our program addresses all aspects of their being, including the heart, mind and body.  Our focus is on building a trusting and caring relationship with your child and entering into a partnership with you. 

At Montessori By-the-Bay we develop close relationships with each child in our care as they explore the world around them. We understand the importance of forming these early attachments for the development of trust, resilience, self regulation, confidence and independence.

We guide each child in discovery, as each child is unique and has their own learning style and pace. Our inclusive indoor and outdoor learning environments are filled with opportunities to explore using natural materials for play. We involve children in sustainable practices which are embedded in their daily learning and acknowledge that they are caretakers of this earth.

Our light, bright and natural learning environments are designed to maximise your child's curiosity, develop and strengthen fine and gross motor skills and encourage a healthy sense of self. Our educators take pride in offering inspirational learning opportunities in fun-filled and engaging educational environments.
