Some days leave a lasting warmth in your heart—and this Mother’s Day at our Montessori Minds childcare centre was one of them.
We wanted our mums to feel as special as they truly are, so we started the day by rolling out a red carpet at the front gate—a small gesture with a big meaning. Because all mums deserve a red carpet.
Across our Montessori preschool rooms, joy and connection were the heartbeat of the day. In the morning, the kindergarten rooms—Woodridge, Feathertop, and Twynam—welcomed mums with a beautiful breakfast spread curated by Chef Jesse. The smell of fresh coffee and baked treats floated through the space, setting a warm, inviting tone.
One of the most loved moments was our cupcake decorating activity, where children and mums sat side by side, giggling over sprinkles and icing. It wasn’t just about sweet treats—it was a shared learning experience that celebrated creativity, fine motor development, and most of all, connection. These kinds of hands-on activities are at the heart of Montessori education, helping toddlers and older children build confidence through real-world experiences.
Later in the day, the pre-kindergarten rooms—Baw Baw, Cradle, and Bimberi—transformed their outdoor space into a vibrant celebration yard. Our educators designed a range of play-based activities for mums and little ones to explore together. The day wasn’t about formality—it was about presence, joy, and seeing the world through your child’s eyes.
To capture these heartfelt moments, we created a special photo booth installation. The backdrop included a hand-written poem by our team—an extra personal touch that made each portrait a memory to treasure.
We asked all mums to dress in pink and red, and seeing the garden come alive with colour, laughter, and connection was a beautiful sight. Chef Jesse brought out another delicious spread for our pre-kinder families in the afternoon, continuing the warm, nurturing atmosphere.
Many mums shared that they rarely get the chance to spend such relaxed, one-on-one time with their child—especially in a space that feels like an extension of home. That’s what makes our Montessori Minds centre in Geelong special: it’s a place where every family is seen, heard, and supported.
Photos were captured throughout the day, preserving the joyful energy and gratitude that filled the air. And for us, it was more than just a celebration—it was a reminder of why we do what we do.
Whether you’re considering enrolment in a Montessori preschool near Geelong, or you’re simply curious about how a childcare centre can feel like a second home, our doors—and hearts—are always open.
Happy Mother’s Day, from our family to yours.
