Where It All Begins in Mawson Lakes

Seeds Montessori Mawson Lakes is a family-owned Montessori childcare centre in Adelaide, where children are recognised as capable learners who thrive in environments built on respect, independence, and trust.

At Seeds Montessori, we provide high-quality early learning and care for families across Mawson Lakes and Adelaide’s northern suburbs. Children are not shaped into learning—they are respected, supported, and trusted to grow into it.

We provide Montessori early learning and childcare for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, supporting development through carefully prepared environments and purposeful, hands-on learning that builds school readiness.

As a family-owned centre, we are deeply committed to creating a warm, consistent, and supportive environment where children are genuinely known, respected, and guided at their own pace, while maintaining strong connections with families and the Mawson Lakes community.

What Our Parents Are Saying

“Highly recommend the nursery room (Wattle room).
My child feels safe, happy and comfortable in the nursery room. The educators are very caring, kind and attentive to the children’s needs. They communicate well with us and always make us feel confident leaving our baby in their care.”

— Dasunika

“We enrolled my daughter at Seeds just after her first birthday and it is the best decision we made. She has flown in her development and absolutely loves all her educators! They are so responsive to her needs and interests using these to foster opportunities to learn. They noticed her readiness to move into the next age group ahead of her “aging up” and offered her the chance to trial transitioning early - this has seen my daughter go from strength to strength. I cannot speak highly enough of how Seeds go above and beyond to offer education, care, and a village around the child, for every child.”

— Petra

“The educators are always very friendly and professional. They show an interest in our children’s developmental needs and provide a variety of learning opportunities. Both of our children love attending Seeds Montessori and we would happily recommend the centre to other parents.”
