Who we are

Lindfield Montessori Preschool is a caring, non-denominational learning environment for three- to six-year-old children. We see education as not only an aid to life, but also a source of curiosity, fun and happiness.

 

At Lindfield Montessori we promote respect for self, others, the environment and the community. Our educators work in close partnership with our families, and it is through these strong relationships that we all contribute to each child’s learning and development.

​

We aspire to create an environment true to the Montessori philosophy in which our students will thrive. Our staff are Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) trained and are dedicated to delivering the Montessori curriculum.

​

Within our school environment, individualised and independent learning occurs in mixed age classes, where choice of activities, collaborative work and hands-on experiences are part of everyday learning. These enriching experiences are based on the child’s individual developmental stage and facilitated by the class Directress.
