Our newest infants early learning centre at Peakhurst is now complete. The centre has been tailored designed for ages 0-2 years to encourage and inspire learning and development.
At St George Montessori we offer nursery aged children 0-2 years old, a program with a wide variety of learning experiences utilising the Montessori approach to education. The focus of the infant/toddlers environment is fostering basic trust in the child by providing a safe and loving home like environment.
Our programs are crafted to enhance social skills, emotional growth, and physical coordination, preparing children for future academic challenges. Our classroom is tailored to meet children's physical needs, with appropriately sized furnishings and opportunities for motor skill development. Montessori materials and equipment are specifically designed to help children develop coordination, fostering independence and self-esteem. We focus on developing expressive and comprehensive language skills, motor and sensory abilities, and everyday tasks that lead to greater independence.
The centre opens with breakfast and free play. In the morning, children engage in group time and the Montessori program, including art and craft activities. Morning tea is followed by music and art activities, then outdoor play. Lunch is served, and after lunch, it's rest time. In the afternoon, there's tea, followed by group projects or outdoor play. The day ends with an evening snack before pick-up and closing. Nappies are changed as needed and checked regularly throughout the day. Bottle feeding and rest/nap times follow each child's individual schedule.
