What happens during a tour at Montessori Minds?

Our director or a member of the leadership team will walk you through our Nido (infant), Toddler, and Casa dei Bambini (kindergarten) environments, explain how the Montessori approach is applied day-to-day, and answer any questions about enrolment. Tours typically run 30–45 minutes, though timing may vary depending on your questions and centre activity on the day.

Can I bring my child along to the tour?

Yes, families are welcome to bring their child. Some families prefer to visit without their child first and return for a second visit together — either approach is fine, and our team can advise what might suit your family.

What should I ask during a childcare centre tour?

Common questions families ask include how educators support individual children's development, how the centre manages safety and child protection, what a typical day looks like, and how the National Quality Framework (NQF) and Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF v2.0) are reflected in daily practice. Our team is happy to answer any of these during your visit.

How soon can I book a tour, and is there a cost?

Tours are offered Monday to Friday between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm and there is no cost to attend. Availability can vary depending on demand, so we recommend booking ahead using the form on this page.

What happens after the tour?

If you'd like to proceed, our team will guide you through the admissions process, including current fee information and, where applicable, eligibility for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and Free Kinder funding. Funding eligibility is determined by the Australian and Victorian Governments and confirmed individually during enrolment.
