Yes, we do not have nappy changing facilities.  All children starting at MIC are expected to be able to toilet independently.

Maria Montessori said learning between three and six years old (the Absorbent Period) takes place spontaneously without effort, leading children to enter Junior Primary with a clear, concrete sense of many abstract concepts. Montessori helps children to become self-motivated, self-disciplined, and to retain the sense of curiosity that so many children lose along the way in traditional classrooms. They tend to act with care and respect toward their environment and each other. They are able to work at their own pace and ability. The three-year Montessori experience tends to nurture a joy of learning that prepares them for further challenges.

The three year cycle allows children to gradually increase their skills and understanding across all areas of the curriculum. 

We offer part-time options in our Pre-Kindy program: either three days per week (Mon-Weds) or two days per week (Thurs-Fri). 

Kindy and Prep aged children must attend Monday to Friday each week.
