Yass Montessori Pre-School Philosophy
At Yass Montessori Pre-school, we seek to create an environment in which children thrive and feel empowered to explore the world around them. We recognise the importance of educators, families, and the broader community in shaping a child’s desire for life-long learning. Our approach is grounded in the Montessori Method, inclusivity and respect, placing the child at the centre of learning.
At Yass Montessori Pre-School we believe:
Children thrive in a prepared environment where children engage their senses and build relationships
Repetition, routine and familiar resources provide continuity, comfort and reassurance to children.
Interest-based learning supports meaningful engagement, allowing children to explore at their own pace.
Play and hands-on experiences foster mastery, curiosity, and lifelong learning.
‘The Children’s House’, offers a caring environment, which cultivates responsibility, connection and wonder.
We Recognise:
Families are the child’s first and most significant educator and their knowledge and wishes are valued and respected.
Strong partnerships with families, educators, and the community support growth and well-being.
Relationships with community organisations, including local schools, enrich learning and aid transitions.
The importance of respecting First Nations People and other diverse cultures by including their knowledge and perspectives in the curriculum.
At Yass Montessori we provide:
A nurturing Montessori environment where educators guide, support, and encourage independence
Individualised learning experiences tailored to each child’s diverse strengths, interests, and needs.
Opportunities for children to develop autonomy, and self-expression
A secure and trusting space where children feel safe, respected, and inspired.
