The Southside Montessori Infant and Toddler environment is purposefully designed to support a child’s development at each stage. An intimate and ordered space, our beautifully prepared classroom captures the interest of young children as they learn, grow and explore.
Shaping the future
With a greater understanding of neuroscience, we know with certainty that the formative years of your child's life shape the person they will grow to become. A time where synapses in the brain are firing and forging connections at a cellular level, determining their future capabilities, aptitudes and behaviours.
As specialists in the fine art of child development, our focus is on providing a nurturing environment that facilitates your child's growth and wellbeing, embedding connections that foster the development of empathy, confidence, autonomy and curiosity.
