Choosing a childcare centre isn’t just another item on the family to-do list, it’s one of the most important decisions we make as parents. We’re not just looking for somewhere safe for our children to spend the day. We’re looking for a place where they will be understood, guided and genuinely loved… a place where their little personalities are nurtured, their curiosity encouraged and their hearts cared for.

For many families in the Beverly Hills and surrounding communities, that place is Beverly Hills Montessori Christian Early Learning Centre a centre with over 40 years of history, heart and unwavering dedication to children in the Georges River area.

A Centre with Deep Roots and a Deep Purpose

Established in 1983, Beverly Hills Montessori began as a small Montessori preschool licensed for just 19 children. It was founded on a passion for Montessori education and a strong Christian ethos, both inspired by Maria Montessori’s belief that children are not only physical and cognitive beings, but spiritual ones too.

Over the years, as local families’ needs evolved, so did the centre. It grew into a full Long Day Care service, expanded its programs, increased staff and built a reputation for excellence but one thing never changed: Children have always been, and will always be at the heart of everything.

Today, the centre welcomes 91 children each day, supported by a team of over 20 long-term, dedicated educators, many of whom have been with the centre for many years.

“I am so happy I found Beverly Hills Montessory Christian Preschool. My son started in Nursery at the age of 10 months and is now in the Preschool at the age of almost 4. He has absolutely flourished during his time here and I have seen him develop into a confident, smart and loving child which I believe has a lot to do with the teaching program here as well as the nurturing environment. Very grateful for BHMCP!” ~ Mitchel Spinola. Parent

And for many local mums, the most touching detail is the fact that Children who once attended Beverly Hills Montessori are now returning with their own children. A true reflection of a generational circle of trust.

Where Montessori Meets Christian Values

What truly sets this centre apart is its unique blend of authentic Montessori education and Christian teaching.

The Montessori Approach

Montessori is built on the belief that children grow best when they are free to explore within a structured, beautifully prepared environment. At Beverly Hills Montessori, children experience:

• Calm, orderly classrooms
• Self-directed learning
• Freedom within limits
• Purposeful materials designed for hands-on discovery
• Educators who guide, observe, and nurture rather than instruct from the front of the room

Children work at their own pace, gain independence, build concentration and develop confidence in who they are.

Christian Foundations

Christian values are woven into daily life in a natural, age-appropriate way:

• Prayer before meals
• Bible stories and songs
• Weekly “church time” (a gentle, child-friendly version of Sunday school)
• Celebrations of Christmas and Easter that honour their true Christian meaning
• Gentle spiritual conversations that meet each child where they are

The centre uses butterflies to symbolise new life at Easter and avoids Santa and the Easter Bunny, ensuring clarity and consistency in faith messages.

For families who want a strong moral and spiritual foundation for their children, this combination of Montessori and Christian values is deeply meaningful.

A Philosophy That Respects the Whole Child

The educators here believe children are driven by a natural passion for:

• Relationships
• Exploration
• Discovery
• Activity
• Purpose

Their role is to honour that curiosity through:

• Respectful, responsive relationships
• A safe and thoughtfully prepared environment
• Encouragement of independence and decision-making
• Opportunities to problem-solve and explore without fear
• Warm, loving adults who provide the emotional security every child needs

The result is an environment where children feel valued, understood and free to grow into themselves.
