A home-like environment for early learning <\/em><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre provides childcare and kindergarten programs for children from their early years through to school age, informed by Montessori principles and delivered alongside the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF).<\/p>\n

Our approach is founded on the belief that children learn best when they are given the freedom, within a carefully prepared environment, to explore materials and activities that interest them, supported by qualified educators. We describe our approach as home-like: a space where children can feel comfortable, safe and supported to explore, question and grow.<\/p>\n

As the service has grown, this same approach has extended to our sister centre, Montessori Minds Childcare and Kindergarten, in Norlane, Geelong \u2014 continuing a shared commitment to quality Montessori-informed early education across both communities.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
