With plans to expand their services to new age-groups, early education and pre-school facility Montessori approached us to construct their new children’s centre in alignment with the unique environment they are famous for.

Montessori has a long history of taking a unique approach to early education for children aged six months - 5 years. The task of constructing a children centre fitout for the new facility in Kotara, as part of their expansion plans, required more consideration to details in terms of aligning with the holistic teaching approach Montessori is known for. Everything from colour and dimensions to layout all required consideration beyond client preferences and functionality. Each internal decision was created to nurture an overall educational purpose.
The construction of the 84 place children’s centre was constructed over two stages in a 12 month period, with a cost of $1.8 million. The project consisted of four new rooms to personally cater to the different age groups of the children, an outdoor undercover activities area, a playground and staff offices and amenities. The build was completed adjacent to the existing operating childcare, meaning that additional care needed to be taken to ensure the safety of the children during construction was always highest priority.
Due to great organisation from both us and our client, we encountered very few hurdles in finishing this construction project and Montessori are beyond pleased with the result. It was a pleasure to work with a company so dedicated to the service they provide, and so decisive about what they needed and why they needed it.
