Rosemont House is a much-loved centre and so we are not able to guarantee immediate vacancies to new enquiries, but we will always endeavour to accommodate your family!
For those who are planning ahead, we are told that we are worth the wait!

Register to our 
Waiting List.

We ordinarily have a $75 non-refundable Waiting List Fee but we are delighted to be temporarily waiving this fee. No fee is payable for all applications to our Waiting List made before 31/12/24.

Siblings of children currently or previously enrolled with SA Montessori are able to register to the Waiting List for free.

Unfortunately we are never able to guarantee families an eventual position but we run our Waiting List ethically and conscientiously. 

To learn more please download our Enrolment Process information.

Our fees are as follows:

$147 per day for children aged under 3. 

$133 per day for children aged over 3.

Payable via ‘Debitsuccess’.

Fees are eligible for Child Care Subsidy (CCS).

A bond (equivalent to 2 weeks fee) and a $145 Registration Fee are payable upon enrolment.

We are proud to announce that Rosemont House Montessori has been assessed as Exceeding the National Quality Standard in all seven Quality Areas.

Absolutely!

We feel visiting in person is the best way for you to get to know us. Simply complete the contact form at the bottom of this page – or email rosemont@samontessori.com.au – to make an appointment for a tour.

We are proud to employ highly qualified and skilled educators, but the most important quality for a Rosemont House team member is a big heart! Scroll down to learn more about the amazing individuals who form our leadership team.

Nutritional snack food is provided mid morning and mid afternoon. Lunch food is not provided by the centre as it is our experience that children most often prefer food prepared from home which caters to the individual and cultural preference of their family. Food to be consumed for lunch is therefore provided by each child’s parents. (Baby food will be discussed separately with parents). Children’s lunchboxes are stored each day in the kitchen fridges until required.

Yes, to fulfil our obligations to provide a safe and healthy environment for employees, children, families and visitors we do require evidence of adherence to the nationally recommended vaccination schedule as a prerequisite for enrolment and as a condition of continuing attendance. Please download our Immunisation Policy for more information.

We have designed a safe and practical uniform for our Rosemont House children to wear which will offer them the freedom of movement they require during the day, the ability to implement independent dressing skills and the ability to successfully manage their own toileting. The uniform is an easy wash and wear outfit and we hope the children will feel a sense of pride wearing something that identifies them as belonging to our Rosemont community of families.

Some children require a sleep during the day. In general we encourage the children to acknowledge their own need for a rest or a sleep and we allow children to do so whenever they are ready.

The babies sleeping area provides safe floor beds for the children to sleep on and the

Toddler and Pre-school rooms use individual stretcher beds. With the exception of the babies, each child who may require a sleep is required to have a set of linen that is purchased at enrolment and stored for use at the centre.

If you secure a placement at Rosemont House Montessori you will receive a detailed New Enrolment Pack, including a Parent Handbook, which contains comprehensive information to help you prepare for your Montessori journey. We advise you to read these materials thoroughly. You will also have the chance to speak with our Administrative Coordinator, Mel Koerber, to ask any questions you have and to arrange an Orientation visit. On this day/s your child can spend a little time in his/her nominated classroom, be guided through the expected routines and meet the teachers.

We are located at 59 Kensington Road, Norwood (on the corner of Sydenham Rd and Kensington Rd).

Parking and access to the building are available from our side entrance on Sydenham Rd.

Entrusting your child into somebody else’s care is a big step. It can feel particularly momentous if this is the first time that your child will be separating from you. We don’t underestimate the emotion involved – for your child and for you as a parent – and we are here to support you both. 
We understand each journey is unique so we will work with you to create the perfect plan to make this transition as secure, comfortable and happy as possible. If you are not ready for your child to attend full days immediately you are welcome to arrange an early collection time so that your child can gradually transition into the routines of our Preschool day.
