Susan Chahwan

Director of Early Childhood Education Services

Susan Chahwan, a trained music teacher (Diploma in Music Education from the Sydney Conservatorium) discovered her a passion for Montessori education after becoming a parent. Susan gained a Diploma of Teaching (Early Childhood) and then the AMI 3-6 Diploma in Sydney. After a decade of classroom experience, she was mentored by Mrs W. Duyker de Vries, who was the founder of The Montessori school in Kingsley Western Australia (for children from 3 years to the International Baccalaureate). Susan now calls her Montessori education and care centres Montessori Works because she firmly believes that Montessori education does work! It works for the sustainable future of all people for a peaceful world.

Susan is currently on the Montessori Australia executive team and a board member.

We’re Moving to a New Platform!

Hello there,

We’re excited to share that we’re in the process of moving to a brand-new platform designed to offer you an even better experience.

That said, we still have a lot to move—thousands of articles, blogs, and other content—which is taking a bit longer than we’d hoped.

While we continue transitioning everything over, you’ll be redirected to the new platform for sections like Events, Jobs, the Directory, Shops, and Membership, which are already up and running.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this process.
