A small Montessori community for toddlers in Tewantin.

Slow childhood. Deeply nurtured. Nature Connected

Children move slowly here.
There is time for inquiry, water, mud, stories, birdsong and meaningful work. All, in a home like rhythm.

For toddlers who are steady on their feet until

four years of age.

Intentional community

Maximum four children each day.

Nurturing nature bonded

children

Montessori approach

Respectful. Child - led and hands - on.

Welcome!

I believe early childhood should feel calm, connected and deeply human.

At Tesorini Montessori, children move through their days with time for inquiry, practical life work, outdoor play, stories, food preparation, gardening and meaningful and familiar connections.

Our small community offers a gentle and unhurried day guided by Montessori principles, nature and respectful caregiving.

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.

From one of my families I used to nanny for.. (We are still in touch now, 22 years later!)

“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

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.
