Principal’s Welcome
It is an absolute pleasure to welcome you to Casa Mia.
Welcome to Casa Mia where education blossoms in a nurturing and dynamic Montessori environment! My name is Samantha Leyton and I consider it a great privilege to lead this beautiful school, underpinned by authentic Montessori principles, keeping the child at the centre of all we do.
At Casa Mia, we are dedicated to fostering a love of learning through an approach that respects each child's individuality and developmental needs. Our experienced and passionate educators provide a rich, hands-on curriculum designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. We believe in creating a supportive and collaborative space where students are encouraged to explore, discover, and grow at their own pace. As we embark on this educational journey together, we invite you to join us in creating a vibrant and thriving learning community.
We cater for children aged 3 – 12 years old, starting at Children’s House, where children are introduced to a range of sensorial equipment that lay the foundations for complex concepts to come, through to Upper Primary, where the children use reasoning, abstract thought and imagination to explore and develop their understanding of the world. Our children enjoy making use of our play space and the favourite climbing tree altogether, sharing their knowledge, experience and joy.
Above all, we are dedicated to offering an education that nurtures lifelong learning by integrating academic knowledge with social and emotional development, while also fostering a deep connection with the environment and the broader world.
We look forward to meeting you and being part of the learning journey of your child. Please use this website to take a virtual tour of our school and we look forward to seeing you in person!
