This is achieved through supportive relationships, joyful learning and meaningful work within a Montessori environment.

Welcome to Macedon Ranges Montessori Preschool, where we cultivate curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning in the heart of Riddells Creek Victoria. At Macedon Ranges Montessori Pre-School we pride ourselves in creating a partnership with families in celebrating and nurturing each child's intrinsic desire to learn, develop and grow. We aim to provide an experience that develops children's self-esteem allowing them to realise their full potential and to be caring members of the family and the community. Three components of the Montessori philosophy which we emphasise are:

> Follow the child
> Teach me how to do it myself
> Freedom through discipline

Parents are often amazed at the changes in their children as they develop these qualities and at the ease at which children transition into primary school. Established in 1985, Macedon Ranges Montessori Pre-School has for 30 years provided education to children from the Macedon Ranges district and Sunbury as well as many from as far afield as Diggers Rest, Melton and Taylors Lakes.

What a fantastic night for our preschool community!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our internal fundraiser last night at Macedon Ranges Montessori Preschool! Between the delicious wood-fired pizzas, fresh popcorn, cold drinks, and wonderful company, it was a huge success.
Every single pizza, drink and cup of popcorn sold directly supports our preschool and helps us continue creating enriching, hands-on learning spaces for our children.
A massive thank you to our incredible volunteers and committee members who worked the pizza ovens, prepped the toppings to order, served up treats, and kept the energy high all evening. Events like this simply wouldn’t happen without our wonderful, dedicated community.
If you would like to see events like this extended out to the wider community, let us know!

We are all about building meaningful connections, especially right here in our own backyard.

When we spotted a fundraiser for Macedon Ranges Montessori on a local community page, we knew we had to get involved. A quick chat with Madeline revealed exactly how we could help: the kinder needed a brand-new gym mat to keep the kids safe under their monkey bars.

We were more than happy to sort it out! In late July, Jazmyn and Tracey (a proud Macedon Ranges local herself) had an absolute blast delivering the new mat. Here they are smiling out the front of the preschool!

Creating safe, nurturing environments where kids can confidently grow and play aligns perfectly with everything we stand for at Nurturing Life Connections. We love backing brilliant local organisations, and we are so proud to be an active part of this wonderful community.
