Matilda’s is inspired by the Montessori Method where the early childhood education cultivates the child’s natural desire to learn. This is achieved by allowing the excitement of learning by choice and independence and by providing order and calm, in an interesting and stimulating environment that develops children’s curiosity and challenge.

The program provides children with planned and spontaneous activities that promote all areas of child development; where learning outcomes are gained through a combination of informal and structured learning experiences. These Learning outcomes are linked to the Federal Governments National Early Years Learning Framework.

The environment is designed to resemble a child’s home with child sized furniture and real objects. The main emphasis is placed on independence skills in all areas particularly those of a social nature, care of self, eating, care of belongings, the environment and on mutual respect.

The children are free to work at their own level and interest and can share their discoveries and achievements without fear of competition. Repetition of activities is considered an integral part of the learning process, and children are allowed to repeat activities as often as they wish.

Our staff will observe each child through play, we understand how to enhance and extend their skills through creative learning programs that aim to meet the educational, developmental and emotional needs of each child.
