What Parents Say
Karuna is a wonderful little preschool in Narraweena which has been perfect for our daughter this past year. The educators are professional, experienced and nurturing and the kids really respond well to them. They spend time learning about the world around them and have amazing creative arts projects every week. There is a wide range of activities from yoga to cooking to gardening and they really make the most of the outside time in the beautiful garden....(Read more)
Being an ex educator myself, selecting the right place for our son to start his education was imperative. From the very start we knew this was the right place for us.
Karuna embodies the genuine Montessori philosophy. With a dedicated Principal and a small community feel, Karuna is an absolute rarity. A beautiful natural outdoor environment, well resourced indoor space (it even has white carpet!!) and enrolment/orientation process that ensures harmony and enjoyment for all children, Karuna Montessori is the perfect place for families who want their children to have the best start.
The new addition of flexible hours for families is testament to the Principal and hard working parent management board that continually listen and evolve the school to stay inline with community needs while balancing a traditional Montessori curriculum.
If you are on the Northern Beaches, THIS is the place you want your children to go!

Karuna Montessori is an absolute gem and we are thrilled to have found it for our daughter who has been enrolled now for two years.
The classroom, the beautiful grounds, and the teachers feel like a home away from home for her, and the wider staff and parent community feels like one big family.
What struck us most when we visited the school was how calm and comfortable the children were - the antithesis from what we had experienced at day care. It allows the children to explore their surroundings with confidence and it bears witness in how our daughter has blossomed, and developed both socially and academically.
The school is focused on instilling Montessori principals and fostering a sense of independence and curiosity in the children. It's a real joy to see them navigate the materials and their work together, calmly and with confidence.
The varied enrollment options provide enormous flexibility and coverage for even the busiest families.
We couldn't recommend it highly enough
