Playgroup
Under 3s Program
The first three years of a child’s life are a time of extraordinary development
Barrenjoey Montessori School’s Under 3s playgroup is carefully designed to nurture your child’s growing independence and support you in your parenting journey.
Led by a trained Montessori 0–3 director, every activity is carefully chosen to match your infant or toddler’s development needs. The furniture and materials are child-sized, allowing children to explore without relying on adult assistance. This ability to choose, complete and repeat a task with minimal interference helps build focus and concentration skills vital throughout life. Our Nido Program — for children from birth to 18 months — is a chance to connect and learn alongside your infant and other parents in a warm, supportive environment. For those on the move — walkers from 18 months to 3 years — our Parent Toddler Program provides a stimulating space full of discoveries and opportunities for independence.
