BestStart Montessori Flagstaff helps children to help themselves!

Montessori Flagstaff is a small and intimate centre tucked away down a tranquil street just off of Endeavour Ave.


The serenity of the location allows the perfect place for the scientifically based Montessori approach to thrive as children are able to focus, relationships to grow and independence to be fostered so that teachers can help children to learn to help themselves.

The first thing you notice when walking inside is how engaged, settled and focused the children are. The teachers here deserve all the credit for this as they go above and beyond to ensure they understand every child in their care.

Montessori Method
“Learning how to learn is a preparation for life” – Maria Montessori recognized that children have a natural willingness to explore and that the best motivation for learning is self-motivation.

In our Montessori classroom, we emphasize independence and freedom within limits. Children are provided with a carefully prepared environment that contains a variety of hands-on materials designed to stimulate their senses and develop their cognitive, social, and emotional skills. Teachers serve as guides and facilitators rather than lecturers, and they encourage children to work independently and collaborate with their peers. There is the utmost respect for the child, and we focus on nurturing the whole child, including their physical, emotional, and intellectual development perfect in preparation for school..

Kind words from parents

"the teachers of Montessori Flagstaff are very loving and patient with every child. The children also like their teachers very much. My eldest child really likes to learn to make lunch, and Montessori Flagstaff’s lunch is also very abundant. After my eldest child went to primary school, he would often go to Montessori Flagstaff and visit the teachers. BestStart Montessori Flagstaff holds many cultural festivals from different countries and will take the children out to museums and libraries. Teachers guide the children to do a lot of creative handwork lessons to cultivate their hands-on ability."
Parent
"Ruben’s sound recognition is excellent and that it was obvious Montessori had done some excellent ground work in this area. This has also played an important role in his writing. During an assessment, he could come up with, and write up to 17 words (spelled correctly). I think this is just fantastic progress since starting school 2 months ago. It was wonderful to hear the positive feedback and we will forever be grateful for Montessori’s contribution to his learning and development."
Parent
"We are so very blessed to be a part of this little centre and its community. The core Montessori principles are practiced here in a very practical and contemporary way. For any prospective parent who might be wondering how the Montessori method can still be relevant and accessible in today’s tech-savvy world, I couldn’t recommend Montessori Flagstaff enough. The centre is a home away from home for both my children (and, if I am honest, for me too!). The staff are warm, loving and kind towards all the children in their care, but more importantly they are genuinely interested in their lives, their development, and their interests. The focus on child-led learning and play is integral to the centre and I believe an incredibly valuable foundation for our kids. The long-serving centre staff are like an extended family to us, and they are as passionate about raising our kids into independent, caring, and self-aware adults as we are."
