About Us
Welcome to Headstart Montessori.
We are a family owned, long day care centre, providing education and care for 35 children from ages 2.5 to 6 years old. Our Centre is open from Monday to Friday and operates between 7.30am and 5.30pm.
At Headstart Montessori, we provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where your child truly can thrive. Our air-conditioned and heated building ensures comfort all year round, while our purposefully arranged learning spaces are equipped with authentic Montessori materials that support social, emotional, and intellectual development.
Our spacious 700m² outdoor area features natural landscapes, and allows for hands-on earth-based activities, and practical life experiences that reflect Montessori principles. Children can enjoy playing on our fully covered, sun-safe climbing structures and sandpits, all in a safe and inspiring setting tailored to early years learning.
