Connecting Montessori with EYLF

Connecting Montessori and the Australian Government's Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF)

Montessori education supports the development of a strong sense of identity in children through the provision of freedom, independence, and choice.
Montessori education also encourages children to develop a strong sense of connectedness and contribution to the world by nurturing real-life skills, promoting an appreciation for diversity, and developing strong social skills.
The Montessori framework also focuses on developing children’s sense of wellbeing and strong academic foundations.
Montessori education encourages confident and involved learning in children by creating a Prepared Environment that empowers children to direct their own learning through freedom of movement and choice.
Montessori education fosters the development of effective communication, grace and courtesy, literacy, and social skills, which are essential for children to become effective communicators.
