Sydney Montessori School and Long Day Care

Our son has attended long day care for almost 3 years and has now transitioned to Stage 1. We evaluated alternative schooling options and decided that Montessori is the right place for our son. The Montessori principles, teaching methods and innate respect and trust in our children, their abilities and their choices is amazing (to me at least) and is the environment I want my child developing in. The 5 pillars of the curriculum provide a well rounded whole-of-practical life initiation into human beingness.The care the teachers and staff have extended to the children in their care is outstanding and there is a strong bond of mutual respect and trust that develops. One of my favourite Montessori sayings is: everything you do for me

We joined the school in the first steps program when our babies were a few months old and fell in love with the school, philosophy and the community. I’m so glad we did because we’ve gone on to send our daughters to the day care, then into stage one and now in primary. The teachers are so committed and passionate, as is the Principal.It’s a hidden gem in the Sutherland Shire, our children are thriving and happy to go to school every day.

Love love love SMS.Love the schoolLove the teachersLove the families.

Great teachers lovely setting

Great school, friendly staff and fantastic amenities. Highly recommended

I started my son in the 0-3 years program at a friends recommendation in 2017 and fell in love with the montessori philosophy. My son began long day care a year later and has now been in Stage 1 for 18 months. He is absolutely thriving and loves going to school. The teachers are nurturing and encouraging, and the school community kind and supportive. I could not have hoped for a better school to send my son to. I’m excited to continue to watch my son grow and thrive at this beautiful school for many years to come.

Wonderful environment. All 3 of my children attend. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

We have 2 children in Sydney Montessori School, Stage 1 and the Tara 18 month - 3 year class. We have been in the school community for 3.5 years and have been so happy. The teachers are wonderful, caring and loving role models who are very passionate about what they do. They offer us parents so much support and really know each of children individually, understanding them and what they need in their environment to develop.The classrooms are each beautiful environments that offer our children the freedom to be independent and wonderful materials for their learning and development.Our kids LOVE the playground, a beautiful natural environment with plants they care for and water, dirt they can play in and be kids in, a slide, climbing equipment and a large sandpit.There's no fake grass here.We highly recommend Sydney Montessori School for both long daycare and Primary school education. 5 STARS - Our kids are thriving here!
