At Montessori Works, we believe that every child is capable of achieving greatness when provided with the right environment. Established in 1991 by a dedicated group of parents seeking high-quality education for their children, Montessori Works has been a pioneer in offering Montessori philosophy and learning in a long day childcare setting. We proudly serve families in Little Bay through our conveniently located centres in Matraville and Maroubra.
A Unique Environment for Early Development
We specialise in creating a nurturing environment for children from birth to six years old. Our carefully designed spaces encourage the development of independence, self-confidence and inner security, which are crucial for your child’s growth.
NIDO: A Gentle Beginning for 0-2.5 Years
Our NIDO, meaning “nest,” is a thoughtfully prepared environment for infants. Here, babies are introduced to sensory and motor materials designed to spark curiosity and exploration. From the very beginning, we encourage independence, communication and the joy of discovery, supported by our warm and caring educators.
Children’s House: A Community for 2-5 Years
For children aged 2 to 5, our Children’s House offers a vibrant and engaging community where play is central to learning. Play, often described as the work of the child, engages the imagination and fosters holistic development across five core areas:
Practical Life Exercises: These activities promote independence by teaching children to care for themselves, others and their environment.
Sensorial Apparatus: This awakens the mind through sensory experiences, allowing children to explore and name the stimuli they encounter.
Language Program: We begin with the sounds of speech, gradually introducing writing, reading and grammar in a meaningful way.
Number Work: Children are introduced to the foundations of mathematics, including the decimal system, geometry and algebra.
Cultural Area: This encompasses geography, biology, history, art and music, offering children a broad understanding of the world and their place within it.
A Community that Celebrates Together
At Montessori Works, we believe in the power of community. Throughout the year, we host various events that bring families together to celebrate and engage with their children’s learning experiences. From our Harmony Day in March to the festive Disco Night in June, we create memorable moments for children and their families. We also honour mothers, fathers and grandparents with special days dedicated to their involvement in our program.
