A Montessori early learning centre and pre-school educates by harnessing and protecting a child's natural drive to grow and learn. Choice, peer-learning, hands-on experiences and individualised as well as independent learning, are facilitated by the varying interactions with educators and teachers that occur throughout the child's developmental stages from 0 - 12 years of age.
It is a early learning centre and pre-school experience that fosters a child's desire to discover more and use what is understood in creative ways; not just in school, but in life. Montessori Stepping Stones early learning centre and outside of school hours care is one such experience.

Why we are different
Report
In the past, when Mankind's store of knowledge was relatively fixed and limited, the most efficient care and education consisted of some form of "baby-sitting", drill, and/or memorisation. In today's world, an era of such technological revolution and socio-economical change, the foundation of a good care and education is to learn how to learn as an individual.
Brain development
Report
No one can emphasize enough the importance of brain development in early childhood education. Today's developing technology and research have allowed us to learn more about the brain, how it works, and the critical periods for its development. We now know that through conducted research, that an enriched environment actually increases brain size (Diamond and Hopson, 1998).
Children's creativity
Report
Creativity may seem important only for people who are involved in the artistic trade. Yet more and more in our society we see the real value of it. There have been links between creativity and problem-solving abilities (Moyles, 1999), and increasing the ability to "think outside of the box". If this is true then creativity is therefore significant if we are to encourage and help children be an independent and productive citizen of society.
The first plane of development
Report
Most modern educational philosophy centres around the theory that growth, development, and learning occur on a steady linear continuum from birth to early adulthood. Dr Montessori's philosophy on how humans learn differs in some key ways: she believed learning for children and youth occurred in waves.
