Our Montessori Learning in Narrow Neck
At Three Mountains Montessori, we recognise each child as a capable, curious learner with unlimited potential. Our carefully prepared environment supports natural development, fostering independence, confidence and a lifelong love of learning through the Montessori method.
Situated in Narrow Neck, just minutes from the beach, our centre provides a calm and thoughtfully designed space where children engage in hands-on learning, exploration and social development. Our spaces are equipped with Gonzagarredi and Nienhuis Montessori materials, carefully chosen to inspire independent discovery, problem-solving and a deep connection to the world.
With purposefully arranged learning areas and an emphasis on nature and real-life experiences, children develop essential life skills, confidence and a genuine love for learning.
"Help Me Do It Myself." – Maria Montessori
Our Philosophy
At Three Mountains Montessori, we honour each child’s natural curiosity and independence, creating an environment where they feel empowered to explore, learn and grow at their own pace.
Key Principles of Our Montessori Approach:
Respect for the Child
We see children as independent learners, capable of making choices that drive their learning.
Hands-On, Real-World Learning
From practical life skills like food preparation and self-care to academic foundations in literacy, numeracy, and science, we provide meaningful learning experiences.
A Prepared Environment
Our classrooms are calm, ordered, and filled with Montessori materials that invite exploration and discovery.
Mixed-Age Learning
Older children mentor younger ones, creating a supportive, family-like environment where children build social and leadership skills naturally.
Connection to Nature
Outdoor learning is an integral part of our programme. Children garden, explore nature, and develop a sense of responsibility for the environment.
The Whole Child Approach
We nurture intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development, ensuring children gain confidence, independence and a lifelong love for learning.
