Hello, 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. I created this environment to nourish the hearts and minds of toddlers and to support parents in nurturing a warm, respectful relationship with their child. Children thrive on positive connections and quality time with you. 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. Our nurturing environment supports their sensitive periods of development—fleeting windows of opportunity where learning occurs effortlessly and naturally.

At Tesorini Montessori, toddlers

  • engage in a prepared environment tailored to their specific developmental needs

  • gently expand their world and spend time with other children in a small, calm community outside of their home, alongside the safety and secure base of a family member

At Tesorini Montessori, parents

  • Gain knowledge about early childhood development and learn how to observe their child

  • Learn how to support the natural independence and autonomy of the toddler, working with, collaborating with, and cultivating cooperation through collaboration

  • Connect with other engaged and receptive families

  • Leave feeling more confident and supported, knowing that it’s not about being perfect; it's more about showing up and learning alongside your child with grace and intention.
