What We Can Provide for Your Child in the Bentleigh West Area?

Offering more than childcare in Bentleigh, you’ll see your child excel in the Montessori and kindergarten programs as they discover the fun of learning about the world around them. Your child will be encouraged to participate in our outstanding Chinese language, sustainability, and music programs to foster their creativity.

Montessori Program

When your child attends our Bentleigh childcare and kinder programs, they’ll be introduced to the Montessori philosophy. Encouraging independent learning, your child will learn the five principles of the Montessori program, including maths, language, sensory, culture, and practical life. They are free to learn and grow in a comfortable, home-like environment as they develop emotionally, intellectually, physically, and psychologically.

Kindergarten 

Children between 3 and 6 years old are welcome to attend our government-approved Montessori kindergarten in Bentleigh. While discovering the 5 principles of the Montessori program, your child will develop social skills and learn to be courteous, polite, and respectful. The program runs for 7.5 hours daily and is led by qualified kindergarten and Montessori-trained educators.

Free Kinder Program 2024

Our Bentleigh childcare and kinder campus is a part of the Victorian Free kinder 2024 initiative. If your child is attending our 3 or 4-year-old kinder program, you may be eligible for subsidies issued by the government. Our free kinder in Bentleigh follows the Montessori program that encourages your child to explore, learn and grow at their own pace.

Early Start Kinder 

The government’s Early Start Kinder initiative allows parents to use a grant to enrol their 3-year-old child in a high-quality program like the one we offer at our Bentleigh childcare and kinder campus. Certain criteria must be met, but it’s a way your child can benefit from our first-rate Montessori-inspired program delivered by our highly trained staff.

Chinese Language Program

Our engaging Chinese language program runs as part of our Bentleigh kinder program each week. Your child will learn another language and broaden their language skills with patient and skilful educators who are fluent in Mandarin. They’ll also be exposed to another culture to help them develop an acceptance of others in our society.

Music Program

As part of your child’s Montessori childcare program in Bentleigh, they’ll be encouraged to participate in our music program. Our educators are passionate about this program, which allows your child to engage their mind and body through singing, dancing, acting, and playing musical instruments.

Sustainability Program

Our Bentleigh childcare centre features a sustainability program as part of our daily curriculum. An Early Childhood Sustainability specialist works with your child, helping them discover how to care for and respect our environment. Your child will participate in group discussions, gardening, healthy eating and more.

Sports Program

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new sports program designed specifically for our childcare center. This program aims to promote physical activity, teamwork, and healthy habits among our children. With a variety of age-appropriate sports and activities, our goal is to make exercise fun and engaging. We believe that early exposure to sports helps children develop essential motor skills, social skills, and a lifelong love for physical activity. Join us in fostering a healthy and active lifestyle for our little ones!
