Montessori Beginnings Officer 8 Upton Drive, Officer, Victoria 3809

Welcome to Montessori Beginnings Officer, located at Upton Drive, 8 in Officer, Australia. We are an establishment that specializes in the Montessori approach to education, providing a new beginning for your child. Our belief is that this approach inspires children to develop a lifelong love of learning by following their natural developmental trajectory.

At Montessori Beginnings, we focus on self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play. Children have the freedom to work at their own pace and level, allowing them to develop habits and skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. Our aim is to help each child reach their full potential in all areas of life, including social skills, emotional growth, physical coordination, and cognitive preparation.

One unique aspect of our institution is the formation of a community with a three-year age range in each classroom. This creates a non-competitive atmosphere where children can learn from one another, preparing them for living in society. Additionally, all of our centers are newly built and equipped with state-of-the-art Montessori learning equipment.

Our Montessori classrooms are designed to provide the best opportunity for learning success. Each classroom is divided into five main areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Cultural Enrichment. This setup allows children to choose activities that are suitable to their developmental needs.

Order is a fundamental aspect of our environment. For younger children, it's about the physical order of the prepared environment, while for older children, social order becomes more important. Our prepared environment enables children to become physically independent, empowering them to make choices and decisions for themselves.

Freedom is essential in our Montessori environment. Children have the freedom to choose how and when they work, as long as it doesn't interfere with the rights and freedom of others. The materials we choose for the environment act as keys to children's development, guided by their essential developmental needs at each age range.

Our staff members play a crucial role in the Montessori environment. Their role is not that of a traditional teacher, but rather to facilitate the child's self-teaching journey. We teach the Montessori method within the Early Years Learning Framework, which aligns with the National Quality Standards for early childhood education and care.

Montessori is not just an education for school, but for life. We believe in preparing children for independence and providing them with the skills they need to thrive in all aspects of their lives. We invite you to come and visit our facilities, where one of our experienced staff members will show you firsthand the wonderful environment we have created for your child.
