What Is the Montessori Method ?
Montessori is a method of teaching developed by Dr Maria Montessori in 1907. Her educational methods are based on scientific observations of children’s natural learning tendencies and willingness to learn in prepared environments. Guided by her discovery that children teach themselves, Dr. Montessori designed the “prepared environment” in which children could freely choose from a number of developmentally appropriate activities.
What is a Prepared Montessori Environment ?
What is a Montessori Practical Life Area ?
- develop physical coordination (pouring, scooping and sorting activities);
- develop care for themselves (personal hygiene, dressing activities, grace and courtesy);
- develop care for the environment (looking after the classroom, looking after the garden); and
- learn the skills of washing a table and food preparation to develop hand-eye coordination.
What is a Montessori Sensorial Area ?
- the pink tower (series of ten sequential cubes, varying in volume);
- knobbed cylinders (wooden blocks with 10 depressions to fit variable sized cylinders);
- broad stairs (ten wooden blocks, sequentially varying in two dimensions); and
- color tablets (colored objects for matching pairs or grading shapes of color).
What is a Montessori Mathematics Area ?
What is a Montessori Language Area ?
What is a Montessori Cultural Subjects Area ?
- geography (map puzzles, globes, cultural suitcases containing country-specific materials);

About Us
AMIGA Montessori sets itself apart from other child care service providers in that it offers a structured learning platform to stimulate and nurture young minds. The proven and acclaimed Montessori philosophy and system, is delivered under a structured curriculum including practical life skills, sensorial experiences, mathematics, language (including reading and writing), cultures and sciences.
The scientifically based Montessori method was developed by Dr Maria Montessori, a graduate of the University of Rome, in 1890. Dr Montessori became the first woman to enter medical school in Italy. With the theme of Education and Peace, Dr Montessori ultimately received her nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1949.
Our highly skilled team of teachers and centre staff are trained to deliver the highest quality Montessori education for your child, in an engaging, safe and stimulating environment.
When you visit one of our centres you will immediately see the difference in our learning model. We encourage families and children to see our centres for themselves and welcome centre tours. If Dr Montessori’s scientific research doesn’t convince you, come and experience it for yourself.
Testimonials
Our son joined the AMIGA Montessori Centre when the Centre was newly opened. He loved the new environment at his first visit.
He also enjoys the food all the time. Our son will be attending prep next year & I really appreciated all the support & help from all the educators.
Just to say a big THANK YOU to Alamanda Montessori for providing an excellent education and care for all the kids. My daughter joined this centre when it was opened and she was part of all the three levels Explorers, Discoverers and Pioneers. I can say with confidence that she always demonstrated exceptional knowledge and skills which she learnt from her educators as part of Montessori training. This centre is always well maintained, clean and education ambience is top level.

After 2.5 years of having Amiga Montessori as part of our extended family, I would highly recommend that any parent who is seeking care for their child consider the Amiga Montessori program. You will experience not only a nurturing environment for early childhood development, but you will also gain the advantages of the Montessori program – that will teach your children well-rounded life and academic skills to put them in good stead for their primary school years. We have particularly found the kindergarten program this year to be of a very high standard.

We love it here at Amiga Montessori. I looked at 10 or more different centres and none of them felt right and my son wasn’t real comfortable. Here my son played on our first look. Both my kids & I are feeling like family, only after being here a couple short months. The kids enjoy coming here and are very happy. Staff are friendly and great with the kids! I also travel 30 mins one way to bring my kids here.

Our ‘thumbs up’ for AMIGA Golden Grove comes directly from our daughter. She can’t wait to see “the kids” every day she’s there. For us, we’ve noticed so much development in her words, singing, routines of eating, putting things away where they belong (dishes, shoes etc). We hear her chattering about her friends by name. Amiga GG has instilled a sense of belonging, expression and happiness in her. We couldn’t speak more highly of the care & support in her development. Thank you to all that care for her.

We just wanted to take some time to express how much we enjoyed being in Reservoir Amiga Montessori. My son is a student in Burrow room. Kids in the class room are amazing. The amount they learned was incredible and the most important thing is my son enjoyed learning and always wants to come back next day. All the teachers are very supportive. Thank you to Sehrish, Berish, Deepa who always address my concerns as well as my sons!

We have been sending our son for the past few months to Amiga Montessori at the Wyndham Vale Branch and would like to say that his growth has been tremendous post going to the centre.
I would definitely recommend the centre to parents who want to send their kids to child care.
Amiga Montessori is an Excellent and the Best Child Care Centre in Wyndham Vale. Ever since my kid has been to Amiga he has been learning something new everyday and we, as parents are able to acknowledge his learning. The educators are fantastic that they always engage the kids in activities and also communicate the happenings about the child – his activities, habits, improvements etc. My Kid yearns to go to Amiga shows the fact the Amiga fraternity puts in their best efforts to make the environment a fun place for the kids to engage and learn. We are very happy to a part of Amiga!
I just want to thank all the staff for the incredible environment you provide for our kids. We are very grateful that my sons have that opportunity to learn and develop in an inclusive main st room environment. Just a short message to say huge thank you to staff for looking after the kids. I really feel blessed to have the boys in a place so lovely with all people who care.

We love the design and learning program that is provided at AMIGA Montessori. Staff are always happy and treat our son with the best care. We love the quality of care that my child is receiving. My son absolutely loves going to care everyday. As a parent it’s very hard leaving your child each day to go to work, but we are very happy with how much he is thriving.

AMGIA Montessori is an excellent place for a child’s development. My son has attended to another service earlier but he was not happy there. But here at AMIGA Montessori he is very happy and he learns everything quickly. He especially loves yoga and Mandarine programmes. This Montessori is resourced with very good staff. I am really happy to have my son here.

We enrolled our child in Point Cook Montessori about 7 months ago and have never looked back. Our child enjoys every moment spent at Montessori and also learns considerably well. We have noticed the educational programs and other activities at Montessori are also helping kids build their fundamentals. Educators are also quite friendly here.

Vishar has been attending the centre for over a year now. We have had a great experience and it continues to be the same. Thanks to Margi, Soram and Rajitha for taking care of Vishar so well. It’s a home away from home. Thank you. Special thanks to Sadisksha for always taking care of Vishar.

We are glad that we took the decision of enrolling our family in Montessori Boardwalk. The educators in the room have really nurtured them emotionally and educationally. As a parent, it is so hard leaving your child, but we are happy with how much they both are thriving. It is so delightful to pick them up from the child care and hear all about their wonderful learning experiences, their journey through different life experiences. This childcare is fantastic in all aspects.
