“To give our children a fine start in life we must see that their surroundings satisfy their need for activity and development, remembering at the same time that our part is not that of instructor and interferer but of helper.”
Dr Maria Montessori
Philosophy
Montessori Minds believes that every child is a unique and competent being who is constantly evolving by engaging with the environment in a purposeful and meaningful way.
Our jobs as adults and educators are to respect that freedom to explore, discover, learn, and provide a child a safe environment that supports their quest for self-construction through their experiences.
We advocate that children are free to exercise their rights to choose, explore, play, and develop in line with their needs, and their opinions should be taken while making decisions about them.
We believe that nature provides one of the most significant driving forces of curiosity and exploration and is an integral part of the learning process.
This guides our planning around sustainability and instilling respect for all living things around us.
We use the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) to guide our program, and our Montessori curriculum strengthens it by helping children reach their potential and develop the individual and social responsibilities they need for life.
In Montessori Minds, we ensure that our service strengthens as a part of the community by embracing diversity and promoting an accessible and inclusive culture for all stakeholders.
We work hand in hand with our children, families, staff, and community members to be able to access all the support, resources, and information to achieve a sense of belonging and well-being.
