Welcome to Tesorini Montessori
Authentic Montessori Community for Toddlers on the Sunshine Coast
Tesorini Montessori is an authentic Montessori Parent and Toddler Community in Tewantin, on the Sunshine Coast, catering to children aged 14 months to 3 years.
This is an exciting and busy time for a toddler who is now walking with stability and able to choose what to interact with in their environment, using their hands and exercising their autonomy and independence.
A parent or caregiver attends each session, learning how to implement Montessori principles at home and ensuring a secure and supportive environment for their child.
I hold each session; I’m Amber, an AMI-trained Montessori guide, providing predictability and consistency. Classes are limited to 4 families at a time to sustain a gentle, calm and personalised experience for each child.
Small group classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 - 11:30 am.
Book a casual visit to see if it’s the right fit for your family or enrol for the term.
Limited places are available.
All Classes Include
🧮 Guided Montessori activities with purposeful and sequential natural materials.
🍃 Nature play, gardening and water activities.
Parent support and education, including a parent library.
A calm, thoughtfully prepared environment, following Dr. Maria Montessori’s original and carefully refined approach to early childhood development, with respectful adult and child interactions.
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 toddler, guiding their unique and personal developmental journey with both academic knowledge and real-world practice in early childhood development. I look forward to welcoming you and your toddler to my cosy home away from home, where they will feel honoured and safe, trusted to direct their own learning, following their inner drive. Their 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 themselves, but the world.
Knowing this, I care deeply about what I provide for them intellectually, spiritually, 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

Being Outside
Toddlers 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.
