About the Business
Welcome to St George Montessori Engadine, a premier child care centre conveniently located on Woronora Road in Engadine, Australia. With over fifteen years of experience in educating children, our goal is to create a warm and inviting environment that engages with each child.
At our recently updated Engadine Early Learning Centre, we proudly embrace the Montessori approach to education, founded by Dr Maria Montessori. Every area of our centre has been carefully designed to encompass this curriculum and develop knowledge and skills that lay the foundation for a lifelong love for learning.
Our core Montessori curriculum covers practical life skills, sensory development, literacy and numeracy, science, geography, and art. These areas provide the best foundation as students prepare for their transition to school. To enhance our Montessori learning, we also follow the EYLF supported by the National Quality Framework, providing a holistic learning experience for each child.
For children aged 3 to 6, we offer an extensive school readiness program that includes hands-on learning experiences in early literacy and numeracy. We also have strong relationships with local public schools, enhancing our transition program.
As part of our commitment to the Montessori philosophy, we are passionate about sustainability, which is embedded in our program. We encourage nature play, vegetable gardening, collecting eggs from our chickens, and learning about recycling and caring for the world around us. In fact, our preschool room even houses reptiles. We also use eggs and vegetables grown in our centre in our meals, which are provided by our onsite chef and are fresh and nutritious.
In addition to our educational programs, we offer language classes in French, Munch and Move sessions, and cooking classes. We also have extensive school readiness and transition to school curriculum, ensuring that children are well-prepared for their next educational journey.
At St George Montessori Engadine, we believe in fostering connections with the local community. We organize visits from emergency services and other educational experiences to enhance children's knowledge of the world around them.
Our centre features three age-specific rooms - Nursery, Toddlers, and Preschool - ensuring that each child's unique needs are met. We also offer extra-curricular activities such as Happy Feet and F.A.S.T Soccer to further enrich the learning experience.
Led by our dedicated Centre Manager, Toni, who has a passion for education and is currently studying towards her Bachelor of Teaching, our team works together to provide a high-quality service to families. Toni's favorite part of her role is building meaningful relationships with the children, families, community, and educators.

Reviews
"St George Montessori Engadine has been the most nurturing and warm environment for our child. The team of educators have always been so warm and welcoming. Our child has grown and developed so much since attending the centre, and has formed such strong and meaningful attachments with the team of educators. We would recommend this centre!"
"Our son has been attending St George Montessori for the past 8 months since he was 9 months old. We are very happy with the decision we made to send him to this child care. The educators are kind and caring. They make us feel at ease when we drop our son at off that he is in goods. The activities are also great for his development. At the end of each day when we pick our boy up he is always in a very happy mood as he loves each day centre. So a special thanks to Toni and the team for creating an environment where our son feels comfortable and can develop to the best of his ability"
"Our baby is very lucky to get accepted at St George Montessori Engadine by Ms Toni, the centre manager, and have been there for over a year now, 4 days a week. He is so happy and been treated so well, getting loved and cared for by all wonderful educators at SME. We love that he has rotation of new toys and new activities all the time, getting taught with language, housework (that is a plus for me!) art, painting, science, physics, nature (they even have chicken pets and seeing our boy is mesmerised with them is the cutest thing ever), dancing, literature, reading books. He loves the food there so much every meal he eats two servings, and the food is always fresh, delicious and very considerate of allergies and inclusion of all babies’s dietary. Sometimes we come pick him up he doesn’t even want to go home as he has too much fun with his educators and classmates. SME is such a wonderful place that we are glad we had chosen after touring around 7 childcare centres in the area. Ms Toni is also one of the hardest working centre managers we have seen and she is always hands-on, caring and get everything done so well, generously let us invite our family to the centre’s occasions celebration events which is always full of great fresh food and fun. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and we’re so glad SME is that village who helps us to care for and teach our baby so much of life that would set him up for schools and lifeskill later. And we’re been saying that definitely our second baby will be going to SME and we are hoping will also be under Ms Toni’s care as she is the best yet, and all the wonderful educators like Esther, Konnie, Tammy, Mariah, Greta, Jodie, Amber that our baby has come to love and adore. He learns so many new words and skills from the centre that as busy parents we couldn’t find time and energy to teach him (as for us fulltime jobs, managing our investments, housework, planning meals and daily cooking, and physically care for a baby is taking all of our energy away). Thank you SME and specially Ms Toni, who also takes on our feedback extremely well. She also let my Dad to be involved closely in our baby’s care system which is such a lovely thing to do. Our highlights of the day was always seeing our baby photos and videos in the KindyHub app, and seeing him so happy and active all day that make all of our stress going away! Thank you Ms Toni and our baby and us can’t wait to see you again soon!"
"We have been at the Centre for 18 months now and couldn’t be happier. Our Almost 2 year old looks forward to going, and speaks about her educators when she’s not there, which is a great sign that she feels safe and secure in her surroundings. There’s always great communication from the staff and thorough cleaning happening at the end of each day. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend our friends and families to the centre, and know their little ones would be well cared for."
"Our son began at St George Montessori at 6 months old. It’s was earlier than we had hoped but circumstances (Phillip Lowe) gave us no option… It has been the best thing we could have done for our boy! His development has been incredible thanks to the activities programmed by Toni and the team at Engadine. He loves his days at the centre and loves the ladies that work there even more! We couldn’t be happier with St George Montessori. Thank you to everyone there that takes such wonderful care of our child and all the children who attend."
