Montessori ELC

At Beacon House Montessori we consider it a privilege to be part of the child’s early years learning journey and to respect and encourage each child to develop as a holistic individual.

We create a nurturing, prepared environment and offer the child the opportunity to experience the joy and fulfilment of learning by their own free choice and develop their sense of agency. 

Self-discipline, concentration, respect for the environment, respect for each other, pride in one’s work, happiness and contentment are our underlying goals.

We strive to provide a warm and inclusive environment where all children, families and educators feel they truly belong

“The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn.”

Maria Montessori

Our Prepared Environment

“The first aim of the prepared environment is, as far as it is possible, to render the growing child independent from the adult.”

Maria Montessori

Our curriculum is carefully designed with a wide range of hands-on learning materials and activities, intended to stimulate children’s minds to function independently. The order and accessibility of the material is beautifully crafted so that children are able to engage with the material at their own pace and leisure. Here at Beacon House Montessori, our children are guided by trained AMI educators as they explore the material on their own, encouraging their discovery and logical thought.

Our classroom is also a vibrant community where the children are able to engage with each other and develop their social skills. Through the mixed age range of children, it allows for younger children to learn from older children and in turn our older children are able to mentor and guide the younger children. In this way, the classroom culture is nurturing and non-competitive as there is an innate sense of community and belonging.

Why Choose Us

We are a small homely centre offering an authentic Montessori program that is dedicated to providing children with a nurturing and caring environment. Our thoughtfully prepared environment enables each child to work at their own pace and follow their individual interests.

The child is guided by a qualified AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) directress who works in collaboration with each child.

We believe growth comes from activity not from intellectual understanding, our children learn these through hands on experiences, exploration and problem solving. This allows the child to develop as a whole, build confidence and take ownership of their own learning.

In addition to the Montessori curriculum, we offer an Italian program and a Montessori soccer program
