Montessori approach
Respectful. Child - led and hands - on.
Welcome, dear families,
I believe early childhood should feel calm, relational and deeply human.
At Tesorini Montessori, children move through their days with time for inquiry, practical life work, outdoor play, stories, poetry, singing, food preparation, gardening, and meaningful, consistent and familiar connections.
Our small community offers a gentle, unhurried day guided by Montessori principles, nature, and respectful caregiving.
Hello, I’m Amber,
I’m an AMI-trained Montessori guide and founder of Tesorini Montessori here on the Sunshine Coast. I am fascinated and passionate about the sequence of human development and the sensitive periods of attachment and learning. This passion drives me to collaborate with you and your child, guiding their unique, personal developmental journey through both academic knowledge and real-world practice in early childhood development. I am deeply drawn to the toddler years, their ‘can do’ attitude, supporting their independence, emotional safety and ability to feel calm and regulated through my steady and responsive relationship with them. 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 of their lives, building their brain architecture, wiring their nervous systems, and constructing psychological trust not only in themselves but 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 all of this, I care deeply about what I provide for them intellectually, socially, emotionally, and psychologically.
I look forward to meeting you 🫶🏼

A testimonial from a family I nannied for 23 years ago, and we are still in touch today 💗
“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.
