Montessori School in Sydney
05 November 2011
We are relocating from the US to Sydney for a year. Our son who is 3 1/2 currently attends Montessori school here and we would like to enroll him in a similar school in Sydney starting in January. I will be working in the CBD, but havent yet settled on a place to live. Anyone have any info for us on good Montessori schools in the area, availability to get in and costs?

-confirmation of enrolment in a previous Montessori school
-copies of all recent reports
-a letter from the director of the previous Montessori school
You will then be granted an enrolment interview if their is a vacancy. It's best to contact the school directly and find out as much as possible prior to leaving the US.
Hi,
We live in Sydney's South Eastern suburbs and know a few Montessori preschools: Firstly, Montessori Works have three preschools: http://www.montessoriworks.com.au/ I looked around the Maroubra Beach and Randwick schools for my son and both have a nice feel. I haven't looked around the Maroubra Junction school but know people who have children who attend and they're very happy. I've met the Principal of the schools and she's passionate about Montessori and the schools have good resources. I would expect all of these schools are getting filled up for next year so would contact them soon. Randwick is a quick commute to the CBD, Maroubra will take longer but property cheaper.
Montessori East is another school I have heard off, based in Bondi, but I don't know anyone with children at the school. Their website provides costing info: http://www.montessori.nsw.edu.au/

Good luck with your plans!

We live in Sydney's South Eastern suburbs and are familiar with Montessori Works - they have three preschools: Maroubra Beach, Randwick and Maroubra Junction. I have friends with children who have attended Maroubra Junction and been very happy. I've personally looked around Maroubra Beach and Randwick and both have a nice feel. I've met the Principal and she's passionate about Montessori, the schools have good resources.
Randwick is closer to the CBD (a short bus ride) but would be more expensive to get a rental property than Maroubra.
Montessori East is another school I've heard about although I don't know anyone with children who attend. The school is in Bondi. There are a few photos of the school on their website.

I think preschools in Sydney are getting filled up for next year, finding preschool places can be competitive. I would start contacting schools now and even pay a few enrolment fees so that you're not disappointed in January when you arrive.
Good luck with your plans!
