Ficino Montessori Preschool

“Ficino preschool is great. I love how tidy, well-oraganised and clean the amenities are. The teachers are well presented and very consistent. They follow a routine and trully encourage kids to be more independent. The preschool offers real food with freshly cooked meals and fresh fruits daily. Extracurricular activities are amazing and it includes weekly visits to the school library, yoga class, sports & movement, drama & dance and eventual excursions outside the preschool grounds. It provides the children diverse oppotunities to be exposed to new experinces regularly. We appreciate the dedication and care.”

“Lovely preschool. Very kind, attentive teachers. Well thought out curriculum and daily program builds social skills, literacy and numeracy. Great for transition to school, thank you to the lovely teachers!”

“Ficino Preschool was an amazing foundation for both my boys, prior to starting school. I have recommended the centre to a number of friends, and cannot thank the staff enough for all their time, care and efforts!”

“Ficino Montessori Preschool has been incredible for the growth and development of our son, preparing him beautifully for the transition to primary school. The teachers here provided such a warm, nurturing, and fun environment. We especially like the way they practice mindfulness with the children as part of their daily routine, and because of this they manage to create a very calm and happy atmosphere. An incredible life-skill to learn at such a young age, which will stay with the children forever. We got personal feedback from the teachers on a daily basis about what the children had been up to, and really enjoyed following our child's learning progress on the thorough the individual and group stories / photos posted on the Story Park App. Our son made some solid friendships and developed a good understanding of letters, numbers, early reading, and what would be expected of him starting school. Because of this he has made a very smooth transition. Highly recommend!”

“We cannot speak highly enough of Ficino Preschool. The staff are really special in terms of their expertise and care of the children. The child-to-teacher ratio is incredible and allows for the children to explore a variety of interests, where independence is fostered, but gentle facilitation is on hand if required. This environment was also conducive to the development of important social skills in a safe space. Sit down, healthy vegetarian meals saw our child try foods that she was previously reluctant to explore. The ready-for-programme far excelled what we saw elsewhere, and was particularly valuable with our child progressing on to Ficino Primary School. We valued the early introduction of mindfulness exercises, and exploration of a wide variety of cultures. The teachers were very insightful of our child’s strengths and areas for growth, readily available for catch-ups, and it was such a pleasure to work with them in our child’s first exposure to a learning environment outside our own home.”
