The Company

Why work in a Montessori environment?


Unlike play-based childcare centres and preschools, Montessori Academy nurtures the uniqueness of each child and provides an early learning experience that prepares them, not only for school, but for life.

In a Montessori classroom, educators serve as a link between the Prepared Environment and the children.

Their role is to observe the children and guide them in their own unique learning process, to help them develop a life-long love of learning.

Activities and learning experiences are implemented to suit each child's current interests, needs and stage of development, to allow them to learn at their own pace.

The educator-child relationship is based on trust and respect, which creates a positive learning environment where children feel safe, valued, and supported in their learning journey.


The Role


As a Nominated Supervisor, you are responsible for the guidance, support and general supervision of children, staff, and volunteers at the service.

You are expected to lead a team of Educators to ensure they are working in accordance to the service philosophy, policy and procedures, and as per the National Quality Standards (NQS), to provide high quality education and care for all enrolled children.

  • Be the Responsible Person in Charge (RPIC) at the service
  • Train and support the staff in understanding, designing, and implementing the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and Montessori Curriculum

  • Provide ongoing support and assistance to the management team in all areas of administrative procedures, curriculum development, parent and community liaison, staff professional development and training, and any other areas as the need arises
  • Promote the service and ensure optimal centre occupancy
