Our Philosophy

At East Killara, we encourage our children to ‘learn how to learn’ in a homely and caring atmosphere. 

Our focus is centred on the Montessori Methodology. We believe all children should have the right to education in a nurturing environment that promotes respect, independence, and kindness. 

Through the Montessori Method, academic, social, and emotional skills are achieved promoting self-confidence and core values for life.


" Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future."

Maria Montessori
Physician and Educator


At East Killara we encourage our children to ‘learn how to learn’ in a homely and caring atmosphere. 

Our environment has been specifically prepared to encourage children to explore their world. This incorporates hands on educational tools, musical instruments, cultural activities, and organic gardens. 

East Killara promotes continuing learning among staff members. Professional development is encouraged, and our staff continue to gain advancement in educational studies. This ensures teaching programs and methodologies practiced at East Killara fulfil the needs of the child in the most beneficial way. 

We are committed to your child and strive for excellence in relation to the care and education of your child. To help achieve this, it is important that we form strong partnerships with our families.
