Welcome to Lane Cove Montessori
Lane Cove Montessori Long Day Care aims to provide an environment that is open, warm, caring, safe and stimulating where all children will be given the opportunity to develop to their full potential. The centre strives to be a place where parents and families feel welcome and their requests and comments are respected, based upon their individuality, needs and diversity of their culture, customs and beliefs.
We follow the foot steps of Italian physician and educator Madam Maria Montessori who developed the Montessori method of teaching based on observations she made of children in her own childcare center. The Montessori Method is based on the idea that children learn best when the environment supports their natural desire to acquire skills and knowledge. Our Philosophy is based on the same beliefs which are reflected and implemented in our policies, programming and in the cultural life of the centre.
