Welcome To
Sesame Lane Montessori Children’s House
Where Each Day is Filled with grace and courtesy
Our Montessori Children’s House is a specially designed wing within our North Lakes Joyner Circuit Service, officially opened in January 2021. We are the first Montessori Early Learning Centre in North Lakes offering long day care hours and a Government Approved Kindergarten Program within the Montessori Teaching Method.
Our new outdoor environments are equipped with herb and vegetable gardens for children to nurture and care for, providing plant to plate learning for our children. The children love to spend time watching our Australian Sting-less Bees as they come and go from their hive learning about Australian insects. Our creative designers are called to work at our woodwork bench for hands-on experiences. Knowing that children need to be active, our climbing fort encourages big movement and the development of gross motor skills. One of the children’s favourite play areas is the natural creek bed running through the middle of the yard.
Inside, the prepared environment of our Montessori classrooms catering for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, allows children the freedom to choose their own activities, from learning to pour themselves a glass of water or holding a pencil to using specially designed Montessori materials that aid learning mathematical and geographical concepts.
We invite you to our Montessori Children’s House for an obligation free tour through our beautifully prepared environments and to learn more about the Montessori Method.

Laurel Devitt
Montessori Lead Educator
I have worked in the Montessori Childcare sector for over 14years working across all ages birth to six years however my heart lies within the 0-3years. I’ve completed a 3-6 course in Montessori Education, an AMI 0-3 Montessori Diploma as well as a Diploma of Children’s Services. I’m a passionate Montessori Educator striving to encourage each child to become their most autonomous self. I really enjoy building strong bonds with each child in my care and learning all about their unique interests. I love creating a rich learning environment that provides opportunities for them to extend on their interests and meet all of their needs.
I love mentoring others about the Montessori philosophy, implementing activities within the classroom and supporting families to implement Montessori at Home. I’m a mum of 3 beautiful children who my husband and I love spending quality time together camping.

Rhonda Currie Montessori Educator
Why do I love the Early Learning Sector? Because I get the privilege of watching children grow and develop, reaching milestones in their learning, it’s the most rewarding experience. The wonderful memories I’ve made working, caring and educating children makes each work day a rewarding experience.
I have been working for Sesame Lane for the past 9 years, across ages 6 weeks to 3 years in the long day care setting.
Having made the choice to further my professional knowledge in the sector and gain experience in the Montessori Method. I am excited to start this journey in the new Montessori Children’s House.
I’m the proud mother of two teenage boys and we often holiday in New South Wales where I grew up. We call North Lakes home and love the lifestyle of living on Moreton Bay.
I look forward to building a strong relationship with you and your child and watching your child learn and grow through the teachings of the Montessori Method.
Brooke Kenn Montessori Educator
Hi I’m Miss Brooke, I have been working in the childcare sector for 11 years now, caring, supporting, guiding and educating children from the precious babies in Nursery aged from 6 weeks old, right through to Toddlers and Kindergarten children.
I hold the Certificate III in Childcare and a Diploma in Early Education and Care. I’m currently studying the Bachelor in Education for Primary School, which also qualifies me as a Queensland Kindergarten Teacher.
I have a little girl of my own, and I parent using the philosophies of the Montessori Method. While there are different ways of teaching and learning, The Montessori Method is one of my favourite theories as I believe that’s how children learn.
