Buy a Bale
Karuna Montessori Preschool is supporting our Aussie farmers by holding a ‘Dress like a Farmer Day’. Our families have raised over $500 which will buy 5 bales of food for struggling farmers. Thank you to our families and thank you to our famers!

Our Vision
To support children to become well-rounded individuals ready to take on life’s challenges with verve, compassion and responsibility.

Our Mission
To encourage the development of the whole child by providing a comprehensive Montessori education. We will support the establishment of the intellectual and emotional rigor needed to become a confident, self-directed learner, lateral thinker and creative problem solver. This will cultivate independent thought; an awareness of the environment and empathy for others.

Acknowledgement of Country
We would like to acknowledge the Guringai people who are the traditional custodians of this land. We would also like to pay respect to the elders past and present of the Guringai nation and extend that respect to other Aboriginal people present.
