Our Classrooms
The
classroom structure at Caboolture Harmony Montessori
Children’s House reflects the developmental stages of our
students.
Each classroom has their own identity and this carries throughout the curriculum and year.
A Montessori education allows children to work together in multi-age groups. At Harmony Montessori we have groups of children from 15 months to three years of age and groups aged three to six years.
After the age of six, Montessori primary schools are available for children aged six to nine and nine to 12.
