Long Day CareMontessori Manor
Montessori Manor is an early learning centre located in the suburb of Para Hills in Adelaide, South Australia. The preschool offers centre-based long daycare for a maximum of 60 children at a time, beginning from three years of age.
At Montessori Manor we have been providing a pure, quality driven Montessori Curricullum for over thirty years. Our commited,enthusiastic staff ensure a holistic, caring environment for your child.
As of June 2017, our centre holds an overall National Quality Standards rating of ‘Exceeding NQS’ along with ‘Exceeding NQS’ ratings in all seven quality areas. These ratings indicate incredibly high standards across all aspects of our teaching.
Our daily fee includes morning and afternoon tea.
The Montessori Method views children as curious, capable individuals with an innate desire to learn, express themselves creatively, and explore the world around them. As a result of individual teaching, and children learning at their own pace in a peaceful non-competitive environment, a desire to learn is developed and concentration enhanced.
Independence underpins everything we do at Montessori Manor. We move away from traditional methods of education—which emphasise sameness—and instead focus on each child’s uniqueness and individuality.
We encourage social development, build confidence, and inspire curiosity in every child. We also cover academic subjects such as:
● Mathematics
● Writing and reading
● Science
● Geography
● Biology
● Art
● Music
● Physical education
Nutrition
We encourage children to fuel their bodies with fresh, healthy, and delicious foods each day.
We provide a fruit-based morning tea during each session, along with afternoon tea. To further support healthy eating, we ask parents to bring a boxed lunch containing nutritious and balanced foods.
As a nut-free centre, we also ask parents not to pack food containing nuts with their child’s lunch, including spreads such as Nutella and peanut butter.
Grounds
Our centre features a beautiful and extensive natural garden, featuring lush plant life and shady areas for the children to enjoy. There is space to run and jump, quiet places to sit and relax, plus various nooks and crannies inspiring creative and inquisitive play.
Communication
At any time, we invite parents to visit us at our centre with questions, advice, or feedback. Our Licensee, staff, and centre directors are happy to meet with families to answer queries or provide tours of our centre.
