At South Wellington Montessori School we provide a calm Montessori preschool learning experience. We have three teachers who are passionate about ensuring every child has the opportunities they need and deserve to reach their fullest potential. Our teachers are always on the hunt for new and innovative ideas, professional development and learning opportunities to better support the children at preschool.

The Montessori philosophy centres on following the child. Children drive their learning, being supported by experienced teachers to find their interests and passions. The classroom is full of hands-on learning opportunities, providing children with opportunities in a wide range of curriculum areas include Practical Life, Sensorial, Language and Maths. Our classroom is a carefully prepared environment tailored to the children’s current development and interests. Materials and opportunities are updated frequently.

Alongside our traditional Montessori programme, at South Wellington Montessori School we highly value exploring and being part of our local community. Children venture out on excursions regularly both in small groups and as a whole class. We are lucky to have access to the Berhampore Golf Course, Southern Walkway, Wakefield Park and a number of local playgrounds, all within walking distance.

We also focus in on a particular interest each term, supporting children to further build their understanding of topics such as Sustainability, Nutrition, The Human Body and the Seasons. To do this we go on trips, bring in visitors, include further classroom materials and run special mat times to focus in on this learning.
