Leafbud Montessori Centre overview
I warmly welcome you to Leafbud Montessori,an authentic Montessori and Nature play family day care for children aged between 3-6 years in my own home environment.
As an experienced Montessori Educator 0-6 years ( MEC Ireland) a birth Doula and a mother of three adult children every child and family that comes into my care will be welcomed with reciprocity and a commitment to working collaboratively to guide their child through emotional connection and trust. I will endeavour to prepare an enriching calm predictable environment that sparks curiosity and fosters independence in a nurturing Montessori home environment.
As an Educator it is a privilage to guide your child as they develop life long skills through social emotional experineces in play and meaningful experiences of preparing nourishing food, baking bread or tending to our vegetable and bush tucker garden. Together we observe and follow the seasons using natural materials to craft and learn about Indigenous perspectives. We welcome families to share their culturally diverse background through stories, music and traditional dishes. I attune to each child's natural rhythm and individual ways of learning and being in the world. The Leafbud children develop a strong sense of self, care for all living things and gain skills that support them to be competent capable humans in an ever changing world.

Natasha is a one in a million Educator and we are reminded of this each day that we take our child to Leafbud family daycare. We are inspired by Natasha’s work and the learning environment she has created; Leafbud blends the best parts of Montessori, mainstream and other education forms and is stimulating, nurturing, safe and loving. Natasha, you have made something truly exceptional and we are very lucky to have you caring for our child so expertly! Read more

Our 2.5y old son loves it, he thrives in his development nurtured by Natasha's experience and warm approach, as well as the beautiful and inspiring environment that she creates for the children. From playtime, to baking/cooking, learning activities, music and all the way to little nature experiences the kids learn how to appreciate themselves, others and the environment. Natasha's communication with us parents is excellent, we always feel very well informed and she is always there for questions which we certainly had lots of after a not so great first daycare experience somewhere else. On top of that, we also really enjoy the little community with the other parents. They are all lovely human beings as well, and every now and then Natasha creates opportunities to meet everyone over a picnic or a joint activity. As I said above: we couldn't be happier, thank you Natasha! Read more

Our son started at Leafbud this year, and we feel very fortunate to have found Natasha. She is an educator who prioritises nurturing relationships and provides children with consistent, emotional support to thrive and develop a strong sense of well-being. Natasha delivers a holistic approach to learning, evident through her innovative experiences at Leafbud: cooking, dance, yoga, cultural and indigenous perspectives, nature walks, etc. She is a responsive educator, valuing individual strengths and capabilities and supporting each child's individuality. Our son adores her, and we love the community we have found at Leafbud. She is a fountain of knowledge which I regularly tap into; it is the perfect place for a child to grow. Baby brother is on the waitlist for 2026! Read more
