Montessori Program

Our Montessori program is conducted within a Montessori-structured environment.

We passionately follow and apply the Montessori philosophy, whether the teachers observe and guide where needed. The program explores Practical Life, Sensorial, Maths, Language, and Cultural.

Kindergarten 

Our engaging government-approved Montessori Kindergarten program embraces the Montessori philosophy merged into the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) of the Australian Curriculum and National Quality Standard. This is conducted in a safe, caring, and structured Montessori environment.

These programs are for ages 3-6 years of age. The program will run for 7.5 hours per day and is led by qualified Kindergarten and Montessori-trained teachers.

Free Kinder Program 2024

Every child deserves the opportunity to receive a good start to their educational journey.

That’s why Inspire ELJ Montessori Kindergarten programs proudly participate in the free Kinder initiative. The government free kinder Victoria program offers subsidies to children attending kindergarten in participating three-year-old, or four-year-old programs.

Your child will receive 15 hours of free kindergarten per week, for 40 weeks of the year.

Early Start Kinder

The Victorian Government offers Early Start Kindergarten aid to ease some financial burden. 

Early Start Kinder funding allows you to access a unique high-quality childcare and kindergarten program at an exceptional state-of-the-art early learning childcare facility for free. 

The funding is available for a child who has turned three years old by the 30th of April. The other eligible participants are as follows:

• If you are an asylum seeker or refugee background.
• If you identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.
• Or if your family has had contact with child protection.

Chinese Language Program

It’s been long understood that learning another language can strengthen creativity and critical thinking. It can improve memory and overall cognitive development.

Now your young child’s budding mind can take part in enhancing their language skills by learning another culture and its cultural differences. We offer two bilingual Chinese and English-speaking classes at the Kindergarten level for each campus.

Music Program

Our harmonious and fun music program channels cross-cultural musical diversity. Our program is a mixture of English, Mandarin, and traditional songs from around the world. 

The Orff music approach is applied to our teaching and learning practice. This is where your child will engage and learn through body and mind with a mixture of singing, dancing, acting, and the use of percussion instruments.

The benefits of incorporating music into your child’s development allow them to learn about rhythm, melody, harmony, and other elements of music. 

Sustainability Program

Sustainability is an important part of our Inspire Early Learning Journey curriculum.

We proudly incorporate sustainability practices into part of the day-to-day running of the program.  Inspire Early Learning Journey promotes awareness of the environment through group discussions, classroom activities, healthy eating, and gardening. 

We as educators and staff work closely together with the children to create a future of sustainability warriors that will work towards improving our world’s future.
