BENEFITS OF FULL TIME ENROLMENT

We believe that for a child to become familiar with the environment and ensure the best possible learning outcomes, as well as provide opportunity to create solid friendships and a sense of connection, we recommend Shine parents enrol their child or children full time.

Our fun filled days provide children with a positive environment where they can make measurable progress and where social interaction is gently nurtured and encouraged. Children benefit from a slightly longer day, and caregivers know that their child is in a safe, supportive environment. This gives an opportunity to focus on younger siblings or manage other important aspects of family or work life, yet still having lots of quality family time with their child.

Thank you very much for looking after Tonain providing a fantastic enviroment for him to learn and grow, and for helping with his learning process. Tonain has grown into a very confident, school-ready child for a curious toddler he was when he started a Shine Nursery nearly four years ago. With his outstanding reading and number skills, Tonian has earned a few accolades. Shine Montessori curriculum must have worked on him very well. We thank you for that. We wish all the very best for Shine Montessori and the staff on their future endeavours. We will miss coming to Shine on a regular basis. With warm wishes
