Living Montessori is set on a small-holding, approximately 2km from the Northgate Shopping Centre, close enough to the city, yet far enough to be in natural surroundings. We have a large, well-maintained playground with ample jungle gyms and other gross motors activities. We have pot-bellied pigs, egg-laying chickens, ducks, rabbits, a tortoise, guinea fowl and various other bird life. The animals allow the children to understand responsibility and how all beings are interconnected in the world. We also have a simple greenhouse that allows the children to plant their own fruit and vegetable.
