Kiltiernan Montessori & Afterschool

29/08/2026

We are loving the new look for classroom ❤️

✨ A fresh look at Kiltiernan Montessori! ✨

What a summer it has been! 💛
Our Montessori has had a little (or maybe not-so-little!) makeover, and we are absolutely delighted with how our newly refreshed classroom has come together.

From our new Montesspri Resources and creative activities to our cosy reading corner, imaginative play areas, every space has been carefully prepared with our preschoolers in mind🌱

We wanted to create an environment that feels welcoming, calm, inspiring and full of opportunities for curiosity, independence and learning through play.

And now… we can’t wait to see the most important part of our classroom arrive — our preschoolers! 🥰

We are so excited to welcome our families to our Open Day this Friday, where our little learners will get their first look at all the newness, followed by our official first day of preschool on Monday! 🎨🧩📚

There is nothing quite like the excitement of a new school year, and we are feeling so ready for all the fun, learning, friendships, adventures and special memories that lie ahead.

We cannot wait to fill it with happy faces, busy little hands and lots of laughter. 💕🌈

Bring on Monday! We’re ready for you, preschoolers! 🥰✨

🎒 Your Child’s Montessori Checklist! 🌿

As we get ready for the new school year, please take a moment to check that your child has everything they need from the list above.

📌 Please note: All items must be clearly labelled with your child’s full name to help prevent belongings from getting lost or mixed up.

Most of these items will stay at school in your child’s cubby, ready for them when they need them throughout the year.

Thank you for helping us keep our children’s belongings organised and making their school days as smooth and independent as possible! 💚
