BestStart Montessori Kilbirnie (formerly Montessori Kilbirnie) is a home away from home for your child. We are located in a small house in a quiet street with secure grounds. We are well positioned off Kilbirnie Crescent for easy access to public transport and a quick trip to the city by car. We are also well placed to use the local recreation centre, library and park.

Our Vision

To build a Montessori community of teachers, parents and children who embody a life long love of learning, taking care of each other and our world.

“The greatest gifts we can give our children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of freedom” Dr Maria Montessori

Young children absorb so effortlessly from their environment and have such a drive to learn, make connections and be independent.  We pride ourselves on our relationships with our children and families, allowing time for children to build their self esteem and confidence in our little Montessori house.  We see our children thrive when they are given responsibility, independence and support from our community.  Our teachers are dedicated, passionate and committed to making a difference in the lives of children and our families tell us that they feel this love in our centre.  The first six years are the most crucial in a child’s development, they are driven to learn and our Montessori curriculum provides everything a child needs to create a foundation for learning for life.

We invite all interested parents to visit our Montessori centre – simply give us a call on 387 1195 and we can arrange a time and day for one of our teachers to show you around.

Montessori Playgroup

Come and learn about Montessori philosophy and principles in a lovely, friendly environment with your child.  The space is prepared for children from 0 to 3 years allowing them to explore, make choices, gain confidence and independence.  Each Monday at thehub between 9.30am and 11.30am. Give us a call for more information.
