Montessori Children’s House Wagga is strategically located in Bourkelands, close to several main arterial roads that link the southernmost Wagga suburbs to the city. The site and curriculum were identified as a result of a robust needs assessment which identified a distinct lack of early childhood curriculum options in Wagga when compared to mainstream childcare.
The Montessori Children’s House Wagga provides places for 96 children from one year of age to school age. Our centre has been purpose built to support an authentic Montessori learning environment. The facility is an environmentally sustainable design which offers children unique and exciting learning spaces with large light-filled rooms, specially developed living gardens and outdoor play areas.
The Montessori Children’s House Wagga aims to establish a benchmark in Wagga for outdoor play as a fundamental aspect of early childhood development. The outside learning environment is unique and offers a diverse and tactile series of nature-based play spaces that provide a backdrop for the centre’s learning programs. Incorporating two sandpits, digging patch (mud pit) and watercourse, bike path, swings, obstacle course, fort, sensory pathways, trees, kitchen garden and two flexible-use softfall areas, the gardens vary in season and theme to showcase the diversity of the natural world.
Montessori Children’s House Wagga run an Infant and Toddler Community for children from 12mths to 3.5 years of age and a Preschool (Casa) Community for children from 3-6 years of age.
