Family Support: Ages Birth to Three

Early childhood settings are often the first point of contact for families needing additional support.

Montessori early childhood settings aim to be a welcoming community centre, a place of learning, and a safe place for children. The Montessori approach recognises that children come from widely-varied family settings, and that culture, home life and family situation all affect learning and development. Family support may include consultations in the home or at the centre, referrals to other services, support in crisis situations, and informal information and advice.
