We are in Mollymook in the Milton-Ulladulla area on the beautiful NSW south coast, providing an enriched learning environment for 2-6 year olds.
Montessori is an educational approach developed by Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori. Nominated three times for the Nobel Peace Prize, Montessori's work is internationally respected, with 22,000 schools in 110 countries around the World. Montessori is the informed choice of Prince William and Kate for George, following in the footsteps of Dianna's choice for her William and Harry. The Montessori approach is comprised of three elements; a philosophy, a methodology , and specially designed materials and activities to complement the method. Dr Montessori observed children for her lifetime and designed special materials, to appeal, yet challenge children - real-life, purposeful activities, with sensorial , memory, mathematics, language, environmental content. Dr Maria Montessori discovered that children from birth to six have a universal, once-in-a-lifetime ability to absorb knowledge from their surroundings. Montessori trained educators work on a framework that begins with respect and affection for each child and from this we build safe and consistent boundaries to allow freedom and independence to explore meaningful and purposeful activity.

Our programme highly prepares children for their future education and life, whether continuing in traditional schools, home school or Montessori.
This area is fortunate, as our passionate parent group have extended Montessori education beyond our preschool 2-6 years into the next Montessori 6-12 age group, at a near location.
When you walk into our classroom you will see the difference between traditional and Montessori immediately. It is the Childrens' House, Montessori's " Casa dei Bambini". Beauty and the best for children- Ambience and aesthetics created by lighting, music, art, the neatness and order of materials on low shelving, small chairs and tables, fresh flowers in glass vases on shelves, carefully arranged by children , ceramic plates, indoor plants, fruits, courteous children immersed in interesting activity either alone, in pairs or groups. There is order, work is purposeful and joyful. The children care for their " house", the environment and the other children. This independence and choice leads to a strong sense of belonging and self esteem.
We have spacious rooms indoors and outdoors, fostering care and a connection with nature with an indoor turtle and fish aquarium, a bearded dragon terranium, a worm farm and in the playground, a friendly, white ,fluffy bunny. Outdoors is large, treed, leafy and natural with sand, bark, grass, a rock spot, Aboriginal painted tunnel, boat, cubbyhouse and lots of dinosaur models.
