Welcome to Kotara Montessori Children’s Centre, a renowned establishment in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie with over 25 years of experience in nurturing a love of learning and independence in children aged 6 months to 6 years. Our center follows the Montessori program, emphasizing sensory learning to promote brain development and complement early childhood stages. Through a structured curriculum designed by Maria Montessori, we focus on instilling values of peace education, social responsibility, and eco-friendly practices, encouraging children to understand their role in contributing positively to the world.
At Kotara Montessori, we recently underwent a significant transformation, expanding our center to provide a purpose-built Montessori space that seamlessly integrates with the natural outdoor environment. Our classrooms are designed to maximize natural light and flow, creating a soothing atmosphere for children to explore and learn. With an emphasis on outdoor play, our playscape offers various opportunities for creativity and quiet reflection, allowing children to engage with nature, care for plants, and learn about sustainability firsthand.
Our center offers a unique Montessori environment for children under 3 years old, aligned with Magda Gerber’s Educaring Approach, in addition to preschool rooms catering to children aged 3-5 years. Through our commitment to providing an authentic Montessori experience, we empower children to take responsibility for their surroundings, participate in eco-friendly practices, and develop essential life skills that will shape their future positively. Join us at Kotara Montessori Children’s Centre to embark on a journey of holistic learning and growth for your child.
