The Kalker Montessori Pre School Centre was established in 1977. It moved to the current premises in Bulleen, Melbourne in 1986. Its name acknowledges the work of Mrs Jean Kalker in promoting Montessori education in Victoria.
The Montessori Pre-School Centre is situated off Thompsons Road, Bulleen, Melbourne on 0.5 hectares of land, opposite Koonung Park, convenient to the Eastern Freeway (Melways Map 32, F10 / 11). It serves children aged from 2.25 to 6 years old from the surrounding areas as well as Kew, Ivanhoe, Camberwell and Balwyn.
The School Centre is non-sectarian and contains a wide mix of nationalities and cultural backgrounds. Past school students have proceeded to a variety of state and private schools.
The Centre is run by a Committee of Management elected from its membership and is responsible to the parent community for all administrative duties associated with the pre school.
