Your Team
Background​

Young Adventurers is a small, family owned service. In 2014, Emma and John bought 'Friday's Child Montessori' in order to carry out a vision. The vision was to help bring a high quality Montessori service to the Gold Coast.
​
Emma has contrasted Montessori education with traditional education throughout her life - as a child herself, as a parent and more recently, as an educator. From each experience, she has reached the same conclusion - that the Montessori method, when implemented 'properly', provides children with significant social-emotional and educational benefits. She looks forward to a day when it is more widely implemented in Australia.
