Montessori furniture Australia

About

All of us here at Little Acorns have grown up in an environment where wood has played an important role in our lives. It is perhaps no surprise that when we went into business, it would be one where wood took centre stage.

The high price of Montessori

It began by accident, when looking at an advertisement for wooden Montessori furniture and being struck by what seemed to be a surprisingly high price. After several months of
research, we realised that the principal reason for the high price was not its unique design or the fact it was made from wood, but simply because there seemed to be few outlets selling what, effectively, is ‘bespoke’ childcare furniture.

How to make more early childhood education and preschool furniture more affordable

If you start with a high price, then quality needn’t be sacrificed when you reduce the price. Add in ‘economies of scale’, in other words, selling more than one unit at a time, enables you to further reduce prices. So, we decided to concentrate on selling our furniture to educational establishments on a business-to-business (B2B) basis. By now, we felt that we could make a genuine difference and enable more and more young children to enjoy the warmth and tactility of ‘naturel’ wooden furniture.

Montesorri and Early childhood furniture from sustainable (FSC) sources

So, we had found our products and now had our motivation. All we needed was to do was find a reliable supplier of consistently high-quality wooden preschool and childcare furniture who sourced their timber for sustainable (FSC-approved) sources. Once that had been achieved, Little Acorns was launched!

Little Acorns- an Australian supplier partnering with carefully chosen manufacturers in China to create an effective collaborative synergy. We ensure the use of sustainable materials, oversee quality control and effective communication, and will provide you with an unbeatable, first-class local Australian service.

Our understanding of varying forms of children’s education

We understand and find it easy to both connect and understand the philosophies behind Montessori, Waldorf and Reggio Emelia methods of education. Consequently, we also understand just how important an element specifically designed wooden children’s furniture is in their educational environment. What resonates with us is an educational environment which encourages children to explore, experiment and develop their personal skills according to their own motivations.

It is for this reason we have chosen to look beyond wooden classroom furniture and expand into wooden toys that ‘fit’ with such educational philosophies, and why we are becoming more and more involved not just in the sale of premium-quality wooden early childhood education furniture, but also its design. This has reached the point where we now consult with clients
so that we can produce furniture that perfectly meets the needs of the children they are responsible for and which will help to brighten up their lives.
