Established in 2000, Montessori Academy is Australia's leading and largest provider of Montessori early education for children under the age of six. Our vision is to provide our students with an exceptional early learning experience that prepares them, not only for school, but for life.

Building on the pioneering educational principles established by Doctor Maria Montessori, we deliver a modern Montessori early learning program that is tailored to the Australian Government's Early Years Learning Framework.

By delivering a blended curriculum, we ensure that our students actively participate in a complete care and education program that integrates the intellectual, emotional, spiritual, physical and social aspects of child development.

Distinguishing Montessori Academy, is that we take pride in being more than an educational childcare service. Our goal is to partner with our families to facilitate and guide each child's unique development journey, while nurturing and respecting their family, community and cultural background.

Through our commitment to excellence, collaborative partnerships with our families, and a genuine passion for children's education, we aim to help each child achieve their full developmental potential.

With more than 20 locations across Sydney, and many more in development, Montessori Academy provides excellent career development options, fantastic training and development programs, and a real opportunity to learn and grow. For us, excellence in education is a journey, and we're with you every step of the way.
