Our Montessori Toddler Program is set in a hands-on learning environment where children enjoy freedom of movement and choice. The classroom setting is spacious and inviting with a variety of workspaces, child-sized resources, five clearly defined curriculum areas, and low open shelves. Everything is clean, organised, and accessible to provide toddlers with the ideal learning environment.
Children choose Montessori activities that interest them and work with them at their own pace. Learning materials are hands-on and encourage learning through discovery, exploration, repetition, and practice. Based on daily observations and children’s skills, Educators introduce new materials and activities that pique children’s curiosity and extend learning.
Throughout the day, our toddlers participate in a structured daily routine that provides the perfect balance of learning time, physical activity, creative play, and group activities to support children’s complete development.
Our toddler classroom accommodates a maximum of 10 children aged two to three years. Healthy nutritionally balanced meals, nappies, wipes, and bedsheets are included in the daily fee of $128 before the Child Care Subsidy. Families receive daily updates about their children’s learning, eating, and sleeping patterns through our parent communication app.
Between the ages of two and three, your toddler’s brain is at the ideal stage of development to acquire specific knowledge and skills. These include language, toilet training, music, grace and courtesy, and sensory discrimination. During this stage, toddlers learn best through hands-on experience, observation, peer mentoring, and role-modelling.
The toddler learning environment is a stimulating learning space full of developmentally appropriate learning materials, tools, utensils, and furniture. Children are free to explore and develop at their own pace. Independence, respect, accessibility, and freedom of movement and choice are crucial aspects of the toddler environment.
The Montessori Toddler Curriculum covers six key learning areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language, Culture, and the Early Years Learning Framework. Learning activities promote independence, confidence, problem-solving skills, fine motor development, sensory discrimination, and foundational knowledge and skills.

Founder of the Montessori Method of Education
The Montessori Infant Program offers a hands-on curriculum that emerges from children’s developmental needs and interests from birth to age two. Learning objectives for our infant community include developing language skills, concentration, movement skills, problem-solving, social skills, coordination, and independence.
The Montessori Toddler Program provides children aged 2-3 years with hands-on learning experiences that lay the foundations for the five areas of the Montessori Curriculum. The Toddler Program focuses on developing children’s independence, social skills, emotional regulation, confidence, and real-life skills.
The Montessori Preschool Program prepares children aged 3-6 with the knowledge and skills to succeed at school and in life. Children further their understanding of the Montessori Curriculum areas while developing outstanding academic skills, task persistence, concentration, and creativity.

Practical Life activities such as threading, spooning and pouring, help children to develop independence and self-help skills that prepare them for life. These activities also develop children’s fine motor skills, concentration, coordination, and confidence.
Sensorial materials such as the colour box and smelling jars provide children with opportunities to refine their senses of sight, touch, sound, smell, and taste. Developing sensorial skills allows children to better understand, clarify, and classify their experiences.
The Mathematics Curriculum introduces children to abstract mathematics concepts through hands-on experiences. Materials such as the number rods and spindle box prepare children for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and fractions.
The Language Curriculum encourages the development of early literacy skills. Children learn phonics, letters identification and formation, writing, reading, and oral language skills by working with Montessori materials such as the moveable alphabet and sound boxes.
The Art and Culture area incorporates the study of Geography, Music, History, Botany, Science, Diversity, Sustainability and the Environment, as well as so much more. Through the study of Art and Culture children develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of their world.
The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) is the National Curriculum for Early Childhood Education. It is designed to support children’s sense of being, belonging, and becoming. The EYLF focuses on play-based learning strategies that are linked to key learning outcomes.
