Services
Long Day Care
Our Long Day Care service provides a warm, home-like environment where children develop relationships and a sense of belonging. Educators focus on creating safe spaces that support emotional security and social growth. With upcycled furniture and natural resources, our centres promote familiarity between home and care settings. Outdoor areas encourage exploration through play-based learning experiences tailored to each child's developmental stage.
Preschool Programs
Our preschool programs follow the Early Years Learning Framework and WA Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines. Educators implement daily activities that cater to children's social, physical, emotional, and intellectual development. We use UK-based 'Letters and Sounds' and Peggy Lego's handwriting programs to support school readiness. Family involvement enhances curriculum delivery through regular discussions about children's interests and progress.
Montessori Education
Indigo Montessori offers a holistic approach combining Montessori principles with the Early Years Learning Framework. Children engage with five core areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Maths, Language, and Culture Studies. Our natural environments with chickens, veggie patches, and water tanks teach sustainability. Programs foster independence, responsibility, and confidence through self-directed learning experiences.
