Frequently Asked Questions

Is 0-3 too young for formal education?

Even though we develop activities to meet the educational needs of your child, we don’t consider our Playgroup program as formal education. We believe every family is special and families need solutions that will work for them. We also believe families need community. We keep our programme informal and conversational to explore practical steps to set even more positive learning habits and foundations for their future. You and your child will also be having fun and making friends!

Is the Playroom all learning and no play?

Even though our activities are intentional, they are selected by your child, so they are never forced to do anything they don’t want in an overly structured environment. We guarantee that each day is stimulating, educational and fun.

How much does it cost?

Nido Program (Newborn to 10 months) – $398 for one class per week (8-week term). Each class is 1.5 hours long.

Movers Program (8 to 18 months) – $398 for one class per week (8-week term). Each class is 1.5 hours long.

Who will be teaching my child?

All classes are taught by a qualified Montessori teacher with the support of trained assistants when required.

What do I do when my child is in the Playroom?

Your role is to simply be present and observe your child, so you can see Montessori principles in action and replicate them at home to reinforce and further accelerate your child’s learning.

Can I send my child outside of term dates?

Unfortunately, no. Our school operates according to the term dates only and is not currently available during school holidays.

Can another Care Giver attend with my child?

Yes – we welcome all trusted care givers (such as grandparents) as nominated by yourself.
