Forestville Montessori School

“We are the sowers – our children are those who reap. We labour so that future generations will be better and nobler than we are. Choosing the right school for your child is a significant decision. How do you make that decision? What do you need to know to help you take the next step. We’re here to help. Websites are now cited as the top research tool used by parents to search for a school followed of course by word of mouth. So what do our parents have to say about Forestville Montessori School? You’ll find lots of information in our website but if you like to read the numbers here are some remarkable statistics taken from our recent parent survey.

It is an exciting time for Forestville Montessori School as we work together in partnership with our community to create our strategic direction. The strategic direction is firmly founded in the Montessori philosophy, which is future-proofing our students for a fulfilling life.

We are currently gathering together all the data that has been sourced from stakeholders ready to share our findings and dreams for the future with everyone in our community. Whilst we prepare the final document, work is already underway to secure an even brighter future for Forestville Montessori School.

Our rooms are set up to provide your child with a connection between their home life and school, giving them the chance to practice activities they have likely seen you do many times before – such as sweeping a floor or watering plants. These activities help the child learn to care for themselves and others leading to responsibility, self-respect, respect for others and for the environment.

The sensorial area of the classroom appeals to the child’s five senses, stimulating them to explore the environment using their senses to develop discrimination, order, refinement of movement and concentration. Tracing a sandpaper letter m with a finger, a child not only sounds out the symbol m but also feels it! Later, their muscles will remember the tracing motion as they write the letter. These and other materials allow for repetition and control of error. Sensorial materials form the basis for mathematics, language, and the arts.
