PARKSIDE MONTESSORI at MORTDALE HEIGHTS

Preschool Hours: 7:30am - 5:30pm

Learning happens from the beginning of life. This is encouraged through joyous interactions with those around us. Your child's happiness and development are our priorities. 

At Parkside Montessori we take great pleasure in providing a boutique, family run centre offering exceptional education and care to 17 children from 1- 6 years. Each day children are cared for by outstanding educators in a warm, welcoming, Montessori environment which is specifically designed for children of this age. 

Montessori is known to provide an education which teaches children life skills and independence while offering enriched movement, language and mathematical concepts. At Parkside Montessori our program addresses all aspects of their being, including the heart, mind and body.  Our focus is on building a trusting and caring relationship with your child and entering into a partnership with you. 

At Parkside Montessori we develop close relationships with each child in our care as they explore the world around them. We understand the importance of forming these early attachments for the development of trust, resilience, self regulation, confidence and independence.

We guide each child in discovery as each child is unique and has their own learning style and pace. Our inclusive indoor and outdoor learning environments are filled with opportunities to explore using natural materials for play. We involve children in sustainable practices which are embedded in their daily learning and acknowledge that they are caretakers of this earth.

Our light, bright and natural learning environments are designed to maximise your child's curiosity, develop and strengthen fine and gross motor skills and encourage a healthy sense of self. Our educators take pride in offering inspirational learning opportunities in fun-filled and engaging educational environments. 

We look forward to showing you our centre. Please call  Cathy or Rochelle to book a tour on
