Armidale Montessori Preschool and Long Day Care

Armidale Montessori Preschool is Armidale’s most flexible early childhood education provider, giving families the choice of Preschool, Long Daycare and After School Care. We deliver a child-centred educational approach which nurtures the whole child and encourages children to have ownership over what they are learning and to master skills at their own pace, while our educators serve as guides to each child’s educational progress.

At Armidale Montessori Preschool, we create an active learning environment that lets children have fun as they learn. In our multi-age classroom, your child will learn everyday life skills to help them become independent and confident, as well as the foundations for literacy and numeracy skills and broader curriculum areas such as world culture, history, geography, science, music and art.

We support the development of independent learning, and children work through the activities and learn at their own pace. Our program is tailored to suit each child’s individual learning and skills, fostering a love of learning through exploring and ‘doing’ and allowing self-esteem, autonomy creativity and skills to be developed in a harmonious and natural way. Through this process the children become confident, responsible, independent learners, who trust in their own abilities. Our Montessori educators support children through this process, by initially showing children how activities can be done and then allowing children to explore activities for themselves, and to work with them in their own unique way.
