Statement of Significance
Maroondah Montessori Pre-school is the former Ringwood East (State) School No. 4180, a brick state school opened in 1924, on land reserved as early as 1855. It was is historically significant for its association over 75 years with the education of local children, (and all at least intentionally, over as long as 143 years). In successfully transferring to use by Montessori, it demonstrates a changing sequence of occupancy pattern. It is architecturally significant as a relatively intact representative of a small Education Department school of the 1920s.
