About the Curriculum
About the Curriculum
Practical Life Exercises
Children are naturally drawn to activities they've observed, making practical life exercises pivotal in Dr. Montessori's methodology. These exercises immerse children in daily tasks, fostering community connection and skill development. Purposeful and realistic, they enhance coordination, concentration, and independence, laying a foundation for holistic growth.
Sensorial Material
Children perceive the world through senses, and Montessori's sensorial materials refine this perception. By engaging with colors, shapes, sounds, and textures, children classify impressions and understand abstract concepts. These hands-on experiences develop observation, order, and cognitive skills, nurturing a deep connection with the environment.
Language Material
Language proficiency is paramount in Montessori education, beginning with rich oral experiences and progressing to literacy. Through songs, stories, and phonetics, children build vocabulary and phonetic awareness, laying the groundwork for reading and writing. With a focus on functional language use, children naturally develop confidence and fluency.
Mathematical Material
Montessori harnesses children's innate mathematical curiosity through concrete materials. From counting to operations, children grasp abstract concepts by manipulating tangible objects. This hands-on approach fosters numerical fluency, problem-solving skills, and real-world applications, instilling a love for precision and order.
Culture Area
Montessori embraces cultural diversity, offering immersive experiences in geography, biology, music, art, and drama. Through hands-on exploration and appreciation, children gain a global perspective and cultivate creativity. Language enrichment programs and a holistic sports curriculum further enhance cultural understanding and physical development.
Language (Additional Language Program)
Beacon House Montessori expands linguistic horizons with dynamic Italian immersion. Leveraging the absorbent mind, Italian is integrated into daily life and activities, nurturing language acquisition effortlessly. Through verbal engagement and musical experiences, children embark on a journey of multicultural discovery.
Sports Program
Physical development is integral to holistic growth, and Beacon House Montessori fosters it through non-competitive sports programs. From gross motor skills to ball handling, children engage in purposeful movement with joy. This approach instills confidence, coordination, and a lifelong appreciation for active living.

This Montessori center is truly a wonderful place for children. My daughter started attending just before she turned two, and I was so happy and reassured by the care she received during her time there. The educators are exceptionally attentive and gentle, addressing each child's individual needs with great care. It's the perfect place for little ones to start their journey, as the team provides outstanding care and support. The staff is well-experienced, and I am especially grateful to the amazing educators Bianca and Sharon for their dedication and kindness. When my daughter joined, she wasn't yet able to talk, but during her time there, she learned so much. I am genuinely thrilled with her progress and highly recommend this center to anyone seeking a nurturing and caring environment for their children. Read more

Beacon House is the best kindergarten you can find in Melbourne. The staff and management are top-notch, genuinely caring for our children as if they were their own. As a teacher myself, I have high expectations, and both my children attend Beacon House. I couldn’t be more satisfied with this choice; it has truly made a positive difference in our family dynamics. Shemida is a kind and gentle-hearted teacher who nurtures children, teaches them essential social skills, and strives to develop their literacy and numeracy abilities. In her classroom, children who are about to turn five are already learning foundational arithmetic, including addition and multiplication. Bianca, in the Early Learners room, is an incredible and experienced educator. She always has a warm smile, a gentle nature, and radiates kindness and love, making her classroom a welcoming and nurturing space. If you’re looking for a safe, supportive environment where your children can thrive, develop lifelong skills, and build a strong foundation for their personalities, Beacon House truly lives up to its name - it’s the beacon of Melbourne.
