A small Montessori community for toddlers in Tewantin.
For little ones who are stable on their feet until 4 years
Small, calm and consistent home-based environment | AMI Montessori guide | Sunshine Coast
Slow childhood. Deeply nurtured. Nature Connected
Children move slowly here.
We have all day for inquiry, water, mud, stories, birdsong and meaningful work. All, in a homely rhythm.
Welcome, dear families,
To me, early childhood should feel calm, relational and deeply human.
At Tesorini Montessori, children move through their days with time for inquiry, practical life work, outdoor play, stories, poetry, singing, food preparation, gardening, and meaningful, consistent and familiar connections.
Our small community offers a gentle, unhurried day guided by Montessori principles, nature, and respectful caregiving.
For toddlers who are steady on their feet until four years of age.
Intentional community of a
maximum of four children each day.
Nurturing nature bonded
children.
Montessori approach
Respectful. Child - led and hands - on.
Hello, I’m Amber,
I am an AMI-trained Montessori guide and the founder of Tesorini Montessori here on the Sunshine Coast. I am deeply fascinated by the sequence of human development and the sensitive periods that guide attachment and learning in the early years.
Nature operates through symbiosis, a beautiful system of mutual support, balance, and interconnectedness. It reveals consistent, observable laws: patterns of order, sequence, and transformation that guide everything from the unfolding of a leaf to the movement of the stars. Human development follows these same principles. From a single cell to a fully grown adult, growth is not random, but unfolds in a precise and predictable sequence. Each stage builds upon the last, laying the foundation for what is to come. When we understand this, we begin to see development not as something to rush or control, but as a natural process to support and respect.
This philosophy lives at the heart of my work each day. Through a meticulously prepared environment that reflects the needs of the children here, I support your toddler’s inner drive for independence, sensorial exploration, and meaningful engagement with the world. Alongside this, I model empathy, calmness, and deep respect for all living things.
From the microscopic life within our garden to the collaborative rhythms of our daily routine, children come to experience themselves not as passive observers, but as capable and valued participants in their community.
I am especially drawn to the toddler years, their strong ‘I can do it’ spirit, their emerging independence, and their deep need for emotional safety and consistency. Through a steady, responsive relationship, I support each child to feel calm, regulated, and secure as they navigate this powerful stage of development.
I look forward to welcoming you and your child into my cosy home environment, where they are honoured, trusted, and free to follow their inner drive to learn.
During these early years, the brain is developing at its most rapid pace in their lifetime, building neural pathways, wiring the nervous system, and forming a deep sense of psychological trust not only in their world, but in themselves. This brief window lays the foundation for future learning, relationships, and well-being. It is, truly, a profound and precious time. Knowing this, I care deeply about what I offer each child—intellectually, socially, emotionally, and psychologically.
I look forward to meeting you.

A testimonial from a family I nannied for 23 years ago, and we are still in touch today 💗
“Amber has worked for us as a nanny for 3 years. I trust Amber with my most precious people - my two children - and she has never once betrayed that trust or let me down. I can say, without any hesitation whatsoever, that Amber is a person of extreme integrity. She has always approached every task with passion and commitment, and is diplomatic, caring and utterly honest - a rare and wonderful combination. She has an infectious brightness and is a joy to spend time with. She is terrifically capable, self - motivated and resourceful. She is the 3rd member of mine and my husband’s parenting team and my children adore and respect her.”
- Danielle, mum of two
Wunya, welcome.
Tesorini Montessori acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we gather, learn, and grow, the Gubbi Gubbi people of the Sunshine Coast. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families visiting our site.
This land has been cared for by First Nations peoples for countless generations. Their stories, wisdom, and connection to Country continue to guide and inspire us.
As families, carers, and educators, may we walk gently on this land, listen deeply to its history, and nurture a future grounded in respect, learning, and togetherness.
