Your Local Montessori Early Learning Centre in Kellyville and Stanhope Gardens
As a Montessori daycare and early learning centre, we at Climbing Ladders are driven by a passion for providing exceptional preschool education. This integrated approach is exemplified through our unique Principle Ladders framework, which guides every aspect of our educational delivery across our North Kellyville and Stanhope Gardens locations. Our core Principle Ladders form the very essence of our Learning Spaces, ensuring that each child's journey with us is enriching and nurturing.
Building a Strong Foundation for Lifelong Learning
At our early education Montessori centre, we recognise the importance of the formative years from birth to six and the critical transition to school. Through The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (EYLF), we guarantee that every child at Climbing Ladders experiences high-quality teaching and learning.
Our program emphasises play-based learning while recognising the importance of communication, language, social and emotional development. Meanwhile, our reading program is the highlight of developing children’s entry to early literacy development.

Inspiring Children Through the Montessori Method
The Montessori curriculum at Climbing Ladders is designed to provide a well-rounded educational experience that addresses the unique developmental needs and interests of each child. We have carefully crafted five key learning areas that form the foundation of our curriculum:
Practical Life
These practical life skills are fundamental components of our Confident Ladders program, preparing children for success in our preschool curriculum and beyond. These activities lay the groundwork for building confidence and responsibility.
Sensorial
Our curriculum integrates activities that engage the senses, allowing children to explore the world around them through touch, sight, sound, taste and smell. This hands-on approach enhances their sensory perception, spatial awareness and fine motor skills.
Mathematics
Equipping children with a strong mathematical foundation is a priority at Climbing Ladders. Mathematics learning is further enhanced through our STEM Ladders program, which integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics across all age groups in both our North Kellyville and Stanhope Gardens centres. The use of concrete materials and manipulatives makes learning enjoyable and engaging.
Language
Language development is crucial during a child’s early years, and our curriculum places great emphasis on cultivating strong communication skills. Language development is specifically supported through our Reading Ladders program, which provides structured literacy development that prepares children for our upper preschool curriculum.
Culture
At Climbing Ladders, we believe in promoting cultural understanding and appreciation. Our Montessori preschool curriculum embraces diversity by incorporating subjects such as geography, history, music, art, and traditions from around the world. This exposure helps children develop global perspectives and respect for different cultures and environments.
A Day at Climbing Ladders
At Climbing Ladders, family input, individual and group interests of the children, educator-led initiatives and hands-on experiences intersect with our core principles. This synergy crafts a dynamic program designed to ignite curiosity, creativity and a love for learning every single day.
