We provide ECCE places and hours subsidised by the National Childcare Scheme (NCS Subsidy).
Morning Session: 9.00am to 12.00pm. Afternoon Session: 12.30 pm to 15.30pm daily. Extra hours available upon request.
Our classroom spaces and secure outdoor play area are custom made for preschoolers.
Our aim is to nurture your child’s curiosity and independence so they enter primary school capable and confident.
We use discovery/play based teaching methods anchored in Montessori principles, which allow each child to explore and learn in their own way, at their own pace.
We strive to create an inclusive environment where your child will feel safe, cared for and happy. Our open door policy encourages family involvement with school. As a result, our relationship with families in Artane has seen siblings, cousins, friends and neighbours attend our school over the years.
