Programs
Programs
In the Montessori classroom, children are given the freedom (within limits) to choose what work they will do and for how long they will engage in that activity. The room is divided into seven interconnected areas of activities to assist children in their development.
The curriculum at St George Montessori is child initiated, play based and guided by the Early Years Learning Framework 2.0 (EYLF), National Quality Standards and Montessori theories of learning. Our curriculum, exclusive to us, provides a holistic approach to education and combines the EYLF with the Montessori curriculum. This combination develops the child’s core learning not only for the classroom but for life.
At St George Montessori we offer nursery aged children 0-2 years old, a program with a wide variety of learning experiences utilising the Montessori approach to education. The focus of the infant/toddlers environment is fostering basic trust in the child by providing a safe and loving home like environment.
In the infants and toddlers room we allow the child to develop according to his/her own natural growth pattern and have the freedom to create his/her own personality.
Child Development Through Montessori Education
Experiences are designed to promote the development of social skills, emotional growth, and physical coordination as well as cognitive preparation for future intellectual and academic endeavours. Our classroom environment is adaptable to the physical needs of the children, both in the size of the furnishings and in the opportunities for motor development.
Montessori materials and equipment are especially designed to provide opportunities to help little muscles develop coordination, helping the child gain independence and self esteem. Special attention is given to the development of expressive and comprehensive language skills, motor and sensory development as well as mastering skills of every day tasks which will lead to greater independence.
Children choose their activities from open low shelves. The classroom offers space for movement, space for individual work, and space for group activities. Children are given opportunities to work in the development of language skill, art, music, sensorial, and practical life. We use a number of multi-sensory, sequential, and self-correcting Montessori materials to facilitate learning.
The first task a child learns when he or she comes to the Montessori classroom is that there is order in the classroom. The children learn that materials belong on the shelf at a specific place and after using it they have to replace it back at the same place. Our teacher’s demonstrates this first. When a child selects a task, he/she repeats the activity until he/she masters the task.
At St George Montessori, we provide children entering school age, with a variety of experiences that will help make the transition to school, a positive and smooth experience, through a supportive transition program. Our extensive school readiness program covers off both social and educational development. To foster children’s coping abilities, social and self-esteem development is critical. The self-esteem of all children is enhanced through attainment of development skills, successful social interactions with peers and adults, opportunities to make decisions and to contribute to the group.
Stem Activities
As part of our school readiness program, children are introduced to the concept of STEM. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. Our STEM activities promote problem-solving thinking, encourages analytical responses and creates interest in this topic. Our Kindy program incorporates STEM through science experiments, computing studies, and mathematical concepts through Montessori resources.
What the parents say
What the parents say
My daughter has been a part of the St George Montessori Peakhurst family for the past 4 years and I would not have it any other way. As a parent, my priorities were to ensure that my daughter is at a fun, dynamic, nurturing, educational and happy place and St George Montessori has proven to be just that!
The centre is immaculately maintained both inside and outside and the staff are friendly and encouraging to the children. From the minute you walk in, you are greeted with warm smiles by staff members who truly treasure and love the kids.
They go above and beyond to provide a safe, nurturing and supportive environment and I am continuously pleased with the remarkable progression in my daughter’s development both cognitively and socially. This is because the teachers always effectively plan, implement and immerse the children in activities that stimulate their growing minds and this helps prepare them for school. I have loved working in partnership with the staff who send daily feedback about my daughter’s progress and reflection of her day, to ensure they support her wellbeing and learning.

Our main objective is to help children reach their maximum learning potential and learning outcomes, while belonging, being and becoming unique individuals.
We believe that quality early childhood experiences at home and in early learning centres are critical in contributing positively to the children’s development and wellbeing.
Together we work in partnership with families to ensure a respectful loving, safe and nurturing home like environment, working collaboratively towards achieving all learning outcomes. At St George Montessori, we treat everyone with respect and dignity regardless of their gender, cultural beliefs, socio-economic status or ability.
Our classrooms are designed with real and purposeful activities, to support the child’s learning. Children are constantly encouraged to freely explore their surroundings and to stimulate their learning by connecting with the natural world and growing into active members of the community. Our interactions, experiences, activities, routines and events, planned and unplanned, that occur in our prepared environment, is designed to foster all children’s learning outcomes and wellbeing.
Our primary aim is to provide your child with the building blocks and foundations for good life-readiness and independent experiences, within a safe and home like nurturing environment, with strong relationships being formed between the carer, child and parent through open communication and trust.

The Montessori Approach
At St George Montessori Early Learning Centres, we use the Montessori method of teaching. Montessori education is unique, based on the discoveries and insights of Dr. Maria Montessori who devoted her life to observing natural child development, and designed and implemented an educational method devoted to the individual needs of the child. The Montessori method is a world-wide educational approach proven extremely successful.
Our Teaching Methods
The Montessori approach promotes the development of such learning factors as concentration, independence, self-direction, self-confidence, self-discipline, self-esteem, persistence and orderly work habits. At St George Montessori, the ‘prepared’ classroom environment is designed to foster the development of these capabilities as part of the child’s growing intellectual and social competence.
The Montessori method of teaching is child-centred but adult guided. Rather than “teaching” a child concepts, the Montessori environment is designed to stimulate the child’s interest and facilitate their learning capacity. Montessori education is more concerned with the process of learning than with the product and offers an educational environment where children’s natural desires to learn are encouraged and extended.
The materials and resources at our centres are designed to attract the children to pursue the need to educate themselves through stimulating activities. Dr Maria Montessori maintained that ‘progressive interest’ should characterise the young child’s world. The materials and activities permit the child to follow a sequence of difficulty, that provide continuous challenges specifically suited to the child’s intellectual, emotional, physical and social needs at each stage of development.
