About Education & Care Service

Education & Care Services are mainstream early learning centres that offer full-day or part-day care with a structured curriculum, qualified teachers, and a focus on learning through play. They cater to families needing flexible childcare options and wanting a balanced approach that supports social, physical, and early academic development in a diverse environment.

“Our child settled in so quickly at Birkenhead Point Montessori, and I think that’s down to the calm, welcoming environment. The teachers are so engaged and really take the time to support and guide the children’s learning. As a teacher myself, I can see how happy and confident the children are, which is such a credit to the team there.”

“We couldn’t be happier with BPM. All of the teachers are amazing and have shown so much compassion and patience with our daughter as she transitions into kindy. They take the time to get to know each child and really engage with them to make them feel so safe and loved, as well as provide reassurance and regular updates for us as parents. We are so lucky to have found them and can’t recommend BPM enough.”
