ABOUT US

OUR MISSION
To ignite a passion for learning that guides children throughout life.
OUR FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR,
CHLOE YOUSSEF
Hello, my name is Chloe Youssef, and I am the Director and Founder of Educate Me Montessori. I have worked in the Early Childhood Education Sector for more than 14 years. I started Educate Me Montessori to fulfill my life-long ambition of owning and operating a Montessori Early Learning Centre that supports families in providing their children with the best possible start to life.
Children who receive a Montessori Education develop confidence, independence, problem-solving skills, socio-emotional intelligence, outstanding academic foundations, and a passion for learning. Throughout my career, I have seen firsthand how these skills prepare children to succeed at school and in life.
My aim at Educate Me Montessori is to provide children with a nurturing and engaging learning environment where they receive tailored guidance and support to achieve their potential. I strongly value the importance of family, community, open communication, clear expectations, and cultivating a team culture where everyone feels heard, valued, and respected.
I believe that the ideal learning environment is created when families, educators, and the leadership team are aligned and work together to deliver outstanding educational outcomes for children. I look forward to welcoming your family to our service and feel deeply privileged to educate and care for your children during their most important formative years and beyond.

ABOUT OUR SERVICE
At Educate Me Montessori, our purpose is to give children the best start in life through the transformative power of Montessori education. We offer a nurturing, engaging environment where children feel secure, supported, and inspired to reach their potential. Our passionate educational team is dedicated to each child’s success and growth.
Our centre’s design reflects our deep commitment to the Montessori philosophy. Each classroom is a thoughtfully prepared learning space with small class sizes, allowing for individual attention. Children have access to a full range of Montessori materials suited to their developmental needs and interests. Our educational program integrates the five key areas of the Montessori curriculum alongside the Australian Government’s Early Years Learning Framework.
Our learning experiences are driven by children’s interests, family participation, and community connections. We offer a wide range of workshops, including science, music, language, culture, occupations, water safety, diversity, sustainability, and sun safety.
Beyond the classroom, children enjoy two purposefully designed playgrounds that balance natural resources with play-based experiences. Each playground provides opportunities for physical development, exploration, and creativity.
We communicate with families through the OWNA app, sharing updates on the curriculum, learning outcomes, and daily routines. Families are integral to our service, and we foster their involvement through centre events, family information evenings, classroom experiences, and regular feedback to continuously enhance our service.
