Hello there, I’m Amber, an AMI-trained Montessori guide from birth to three years. I am fascinated and passionate about the sequence of how humans develop and the sensitive periods of attachment and learning. This passion drives me to collaborate with you and your child, guiding their unique and personal developmental journey with both academic knowledge and real-world practice in early childhood development. You, as their parents, are their first and most important role model and teacher, so your input is essential and valuable. I look forward to welcoming you and your child to my cosy home away from home, where they will feel honoured and safe, trusted to direct their own learning and follow their inner drive. Toddlers' brains are developing at the most rapid pace ever in their lifetime, building their brain architecture, wiring their nervous systems, and constructing psychological trust not only in themselves, but also in the world. This fleeting stage of life sets the trajectory of their learning progression and relationships; truly, this time of life is such a gift.

Knowing this, I care deeply about what I provide for them intellectually, socially, emotionally, and psychologically.

Before Tesorini, A Parent’s Words..

“Amber has worked for us as a nanny for 3 years. I trust Amber with my most precious people - my two children - and she has never once betrayed that trust or let me down. I can say, without any hesitation whatsoever, that Amber is a person of extreme integrity. She has always approached every task with passion and commitment, and is diplomatic, caring and utterly honest - a rare and wonderful combination. She has an infectious brightness and is a joy to spend time with. She is terrifically capable, self - motivated and resourceful. She is the 3rd member of mine and my husband’s parenting team and my children adore and respect her.”

- Danielle, mum of two

“There are different periods in life when we can acquire different abilities. Little children can do things that older ones are no longer capable of. Children from birth to six years have a power that we no longer have, for they are at the age of creation”
— Maria Montessori, The London Lectures

Being Outside

Young children naturally absorb the world around them and learn through real, tangible experiences they can see, touch, and manipulate, rather than through abstract ideas or symbols. These hands-on, concrete experiences help them make sense of the world before progressing to more abstract thinking later. My nurturing environment supports their sensitive periods of development—fleeting windows of opportunity where learning occurs effortlessly and naturally.

Wunya, welcome.

Tesorini Montessori acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we gather, learn, and grow—the Gubbi Gubbi people of the Sunshine Coast. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families visiting our site.

This land has been cared for by First Nations peoples for countless generations. Their stories, wisdom, and connection to Country continue to guide and inspire us.

As families, carers, and educators, may we walk gently on this land, listen deeply to its history, and nurture a future grounded in respect, learning, and togetherness.
