Bankstown Montessori Preschool is a non-profit community based organisation. The school was established in the year 1986 and has been giving a Montessori education to 20 - 40 students every year.
Children start at 3 years of age for 5 mornings per week for 2 years. In their 3rd year, the children attend kindergarten for the full day. The school also offers a 1 year Montessori program for 4 to 5 year olds, for a minimum of 4 mornings or 3 full days. Our culturally diverse school is run by trained Montessori Staff.
The aim of the school is to create a secure and harmonious environment which aids children's natural growth and development, following the traditional values and principles of Maria Montessori. This predicates a belief that all children are natural learners. We are committed to encouraging children to have a love of learning and develop their independence. Emphasis is given to assisting children to realise their own potential in all areas - social, intellectual, physical and creative. Consideration and respect for others is a core value of our school.
The above statement is supported by
- a child centred program where activities in all curriculum areas are presented individually to children.
- children profess at their own pace.
- provision of fully equiped classrooms with Montessori material in all curriculum areas.
- materials accessible to children can choose freely and easily.
- family grouped classes of mixed ages and genders
- each classroom headed by trained Montessori Directress aided by experiences Assistants.
- diversity of centre is acknowledged and embraced by the community of Parents, Staff and Children.
