Montessori Australia

Montessori Australia is the leading national organisation dedicated to promoting and advancing the Montessori philosophy and education system in Australia. Our goal is to provide comprehensive support and guidance to Montessori schools, centres, educators, higher educational institutions, adult care facilities and families to ensure that every child and adult in Australia has access to a high-quality Montessori approach to education and care. We support a ‘whole of life’ approach, sharing how Montessori principles can support independence and self-esteem, from birth to the elderly.

At Montessori Australia, we believe that children and adults should be supported to develop their full potential through an education and care system that prioritises their unique interests, learning style and abilities. We are committed to promoting the benefits of the Montessori approach in education and care to parents, educators, caregivers and the wider community. Our website serves as a hub of information, offering resources, news, and events for anyone interested in learning more about Montessori practices in a variety of settings and its benefits.

We believe that education and care is a collaborative effort and that families, educators and caregivers are key partners in helping the achievement of one’s full potential. We work closely with Montessori schools, centres and families across Australia to provide support and guidance on a wide range of issues related to Montessori education and caregiving. We invite you to explore our website and learn more about how we can help support your Montessori journey.

We are proud to provide member services to 62% of the Montessori providers across the country.
