Great jobs girls would recommend this centre to other parents.
My child attended here when she was 1 for a year then we moved to emerald sadly leaving our much loved educators behind, we then moved back when she was 3. With their welcoming arms we enrolled her back into the centre which she attended till she started prep this year! Such amazing educators with no hiccups along the way! I always received photos and beautiful art work not to mention she was always happy to attend school and didn’t really want to leave. We love the centre and the staff so much that I now send her to before and after school care and vacation care. Being a single working mum it’s amazing to know that my daughter is getting the best care and attention from amazing people at an amazing centre! Thank you all you wonderful ladies ????
My daughter has been attending this centre since she was 4 months old. My mind was immediately put at ease by the welcoming and calming atmosphere in the infants room. Her educators were lovely and would often put pictures and videos of her on the centre's private fb page just for parents. It was such a sweet relief seeing her happy, laughing and playing with other babies. My daughter is now just over two years old and is still very happy here. She talks about the educators often and is happy to see them each morning. She is greeted with cuddles and kind words. She is becoming a confident and independent little girl. She is out of nappies completely, drinks from a glass cup and wants to make her own sandwiches at home, just like she sometimes prepares her own snacks at the centre. I can't fault the menu either in which the centre chef prepares for the children each day. It has been a treasure watching her grow up within a Montessori learning ...read more
We had terrible experiences when my child went to this centre. My son had a broken arm, we left the instruction from his doctor to them how to care for his cast (no water or sand) when dropping him in the morning, but when we picked him up in the afternoon, his cast was wet and his head got a lot of sands. We were so unhappy with it. We were also unhappy with the administration, we enrolled our son into a kindy programme, but later they put our son to the pre-kindy program without notice. At the end of a year, we asked for a transition form for early entry to Prep, they did not provide it. We had so many other issues, e.g. high fee, constantly changing staff that resulted in a delay in my son learning progress, and many more i can't list them all here. As a result, we had to transfer my children to a better centre. My sons enjoyed so much at the new centre, in stead of scarily crying when we dropped him at Monstessori. We still drive past the Montessori ...read more

I'm sorry if a staff change has been problematic for you. In general, our services enjoy high staff loyalty and low turnover, but we are unable to retain all staff always. Due to your privacy and the length of time since your attendance, I'm unable to make comment on the sand pit concerns.
I am happy to hear that your children are doing well in another local early childhood education and care provider. Our nation benefits greatly from the quality and availability of services.
Horrible! Not worth your money They did realease my child without 2 weeks notice and gave me my full bond due to one of their directors broke protocol and confidentiality! My child was physically abused by another child and there was nothing I or the kindy could do or they were willing to do!
Dear Kandice,
We, the owners, discussed your review and enrolment time with the Directors at the service. It was a pleasure to have your daughter in our centre and to begin to get to know her.
We are sorry that you have left with your concerns undiscussed to your satisfaction. We would like to reassure you that all children are assisted with their social and emotional development, in partnership with their parents, and that all are appreciated during their journey towards meeting the behavioural expectations. We retain professional relationships with each of the local schools that we are a ‘feeder’ for and are legally required to provide ‘transition statements’ for those ...read more
My daughter attended this centre for 4 years and loved it. As a new parent finding the right centre is so nerve-racking and one of the most crucial decisions you need to make. It was so nice for me going to work knowing my daughter was happy, healthy and the educators were treating her as their own. Children spend so much time in care and it was great knowing she is getting the best start to life with this place. The Montessori philosophy and the educators here taught her so much from how to comfidently be part of a community to having independence skills beyond her "level". She has now started primary school and she is such a confident, independent individual thanks to these dedicated staff. Thank you all so much, you are all appreciated beyond words. I recommend this centre to everyone, Montessori is not for everyone but it was definitely the best choice for my family and my daughter.
