Families rave about Southern Cross Montessori Torquay for its nurturing Montessori program that builds confidence, independence and a lasting love of learning. Parents highlight the Kindergarten and Daycare, supportive early intervention for developmental delay, and a calm, stimulating classroom where hands-on learning and mixed-age groups foster collaboration, social skills and critical thinking. Many mention strong preparation for Prep, with growth in literacy, numeracy, language, creativity and emotional development.
The environment gets plenty of praise too: lots of natural light, fantastic staff, and great indoor and outdoor spaces worth the drive from Geelong. Kids love the monkey bars, trees, sandpit, and classic Montessori materials like sandpaper letters, the brown stairs and the pink tower. The little garden, worm farm and chooks add to the charm, creating a warm community feel that parents highly recommend.
