Welcome to St George Montessori Hammondville
Our Hammondville Centre has been in operation since 2006 and we are proud to promote and celebrate cultural diversity within our community, families and team. Our main objective is to help children to reach their maximum learning potential and learning outcomes, while belonging, being and becoming well-balanced individuals.
Our Hammondville Centre uses the Montessori approach to education founded by Dr Maria Montessori. Every area of the centre has been thought out to encompass this curriculum and to develop knowledge and skills that provides the foundation of a life long love for learning. We only employ the best educators who are dedicated to providing a stimulating and exciting program for our children, supported by their caring and nurturing nature and great team like attitude.
Early Learning Centre Hammondville
We strive on being the best in the area, providing our children with the tools to create the best start in life. We do this by conducting community visits, which include the local fire brigade, police department, doctors, dentists and Kindi-farms. Our children take part in caring for their environment by looking after our vegetable gardens and tending to our chickens. We use our own produce both chicken eggs and the vegetables for the children to create their own meals throughout the day and prepare their own lunch. A chef is present on premises, to provide 5 meals daily.
Trusted Childcare in Hammondville
Our Montessori Programs offer intense one to one lessons on materials. Children engage in mathematical concepts, learn about independence through practical life activities and engage in learning phonics in a fun an interesting manner. The children taking part in the Montessori programs learn vocabulary that is used in schools and are able to articulate many different concepts due to the one on one nature of the Montessori classroom. The independence fostered in a Montessori classroom carries on into the school environment as the children have already mastered many of the skills necessary to successfully enter into the school environment.
We also implement an intense school readiness program for our preschool aged children which develop children’s English, Science and Mathematical intellect to prepare them for the school years ahead.
