Who we are

Small centres. Trained teachers. Montessori done properly.

Our classrooms are calm, ordered and set up for children to work on their own. Real materials sit on low shelves. Children choose what to work on and take their time with it, and our teachers are right there beside them.

We are a Catholic centre, and caring for one another is part of every day here. Every family is welcome, whatever their faith or background, and that has been true since we first opened our doors in 2012.

Respect for every child, every day.
