Centre philosophy
Centre philosophy
Montessori education is a personalised approach developed by Dr Maria Montessori, proven successful for over a century. It tailors learning to each child's style, stage, and interests, fostering academic and well-being foundations through hands-on experiences and real-world problem-solving. Montessori educators observe children's interests and guide them toward relevant materials for purposeful and engaging learning. This method acknowledges diverse learning paces and preferences, promoting respect, independence, and freedom for children to direct their own learning, leading to high motivation and a love for learning.
About the curriculum
About the curriculum
Curriculum:
The curriculum at Montessori Academy follows a blended approach, drawing on both Montessori principles and the Early Years Learning Framework. The curriculum follows five key learning areas:
- Practical Life: exercises and activities that children observe in daily life to develop their independence, concentration and fine motor skills.
- Sensorial: activities that help to refine the senses and lay the foundation of early mathematics, language and geometry.
- Mathematics: hands on experiences that teach both abstract and concrete mathematical concepts.
- Language: exercises that help the children to develop their vocabulary and understanding of language.
- Cultural Studies: children learn about culture and community through subjects such as Geography, Botany, Zoology, Science, History, Music and Art.
The educators use Montessori materials to teach the curriculum and tailor the learning to each individual child.

When my daughter turned 16 months, I embarked on a quest to find the perfect place for her to spend two days a week. After visiting 6 to 8 childcare centers in my area, I was most impressed by the Montessori Academy in Templestowe. Their focus on education is remarkable, emphasizing books, math, and language development. As the children grow, they’re taught valuable life skills, from cutting food to washing up, all under careful supervision in a safe environment. The teachers are exceptional, and some have become absolute favorites of my daughter. I’m truly grateful for the nurturing and enriching environment they provide. Highly recommend Montessori Academy in Templestowe for anyone seeking an exceptional start for their child’s education! Read more

Ms. Hila brings together all the qualities that make a difference in a child’s day, and we’re so grateful to have her as part of our lives Read more
