Cycle 1 is a vital, foundational part of the Montessori journey, supporting children to build independence, social skills, confidence and curiosity from the age of 3. Children work alongside each other in multi-age learning spaces. Montessori philosophy recognises that these children have an inherent urge to learn and to master all that is in the environment around them. The Montessori learning context invites these children to apply their creative energies to master skills that develop their ability to think, understand, and concentrate.

The program for Prep and Kindy-aged children is 5 days per week, whilst Pre-Kindy has options for 5 days per week, 3 days per week (Mon-Weds) or 2 days per week (Thurs-Fri).
