This is an opportunity to acquire far more than a preschool. It is an opportunity to continue the work of a carefully nurtured Montessori community, where children are truly seen, heard, respected and supported in becoming the fullest expression of themselves.

Established in January 2023, this exceptional micro-school has been created with a deep understanding of the child and in the natural unfolding of human potential. Here, children are not simply taught; they are given the time, space, freedom and guidance to discover who they are, follow their interests, develop their individual talents and grow in confidence, independence and self-awareness.

The result is a community of children who are curious, capable, connected and genuinely happy — children who leave at the end of the day having engaged meaningfully with their world, their peers and themselves. This, to us, is the true measure of a successful Montessori environment.

A PLACE WHERE CHILDREN FLOURISH

Set on a generous 1,025 sqm property, with 578 sqm of building, the school offers a homely and nurturing environment, surrounded by trees with abundant opportunities for outdoor exploration.

Three thoughtfully prepared classrooms are furnished with handmade wooden furniture and an extensive collection of high-quality Montessori materials and purposeful learning activities that invite curiosity, concentration, independence, creativity and discovery.

Two generous outdoor areas feature jungle gyms, swings, biking tracks, a trampoline, a tree house and vegetable patches. Each classroom also opens onto its own adjacent garden, allowing nature to become an integral part of the children's daily experience.

Weekly enrichment activities extend the children's world through Arts & Crafts, Yoga, Science Exploration, Rhythm & Dance, and Nature Appreciation.


AN INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH TO LEARNING

With small class sizes and a high teacher-to-child ratio, the school is able to honour each child as an individual. Children are given the freedom to explore their interests at their own pace, revisit activities, follow their curiosity and experience the deep satisfaction of mastering new skills for themselves.

Through this approach, they develop not only foundational knowledge and practical abilities, but also concentration, independent thinking, self-discipline, emotional awareness, empathy and respect for others.

The aim is not simply to prepare children for school, but to nurture capable, self-aware and compassionate human beings who develop a lasting love of learning.


AN ESTABLISHED AND THRIVING SCHOOL

The school currently caters for 30 children aged 18 months to 6 years and is supported by a dedicated team of four experienced Montessori teachers, three assistants, a cleaning staff member and a garden-maintenance staff member. The teachers and staff come with the school, offering a prospective owner the opportunity to continue with an established team.

Since opening in January 2023, the school has built a strong reputation within its neighbourhood and has maintained full enrolment without the need for advertising. Enrolment is fully booked for 2027, with a higher-yielding projection.

The property also includes two spacious en-suite bedrooms, intended for teacher accommodation from 2027, or alternatively for use as the owner's residence.

A SPECIAL INVITATION

We are seeking a buyer who resonates with the Montessori philosophy and recognizes the profound importance of the early years and shares a commitment to nurturing the whole child. Someone who values a prepared environment, meaningful relationships, respect for the child's individuality, and the essential role of nature in human development.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to inherit not only a beautiful property and an established school, but an educational vision that is already being lived every day.

The greatest value of this school cannot be measured in square metres, materials or enrolment figures alone. It lies in the children who are blossoming within it — growing in confidence, discovering their capabilities, learning to trust themselves, and experiencing the joy of being understood and accepted for who they are.

We are looking for someone who sees this value, and wishes to carry it forward.

If you resonate with this vision, we would love to hear from you.
