Montessori Garden Early Learning & Childcare Centre

Staff and management are friendly and very welcoming. Montessori gardens is like a home away from home for my little one. He has made wonderful bonds with the educators and support staff at the centre. Wonderful environment for active and inquisitive children. Educators are flexible and adjust approach to suit individuals needs of the children.

My daughter has graduated from here last year. She had a very smooth transition to prep thanks to the foundation she built through the kindergarten program provided by Montessori Garden. Montessori garden also provided her an environment to cultivate her sports and outdoor activates skills. I also put my younger kid on the waiting list so he could go through the same path.

We are so happy we've chosen Montessori Garden ELC for our daughter. We love the tailored approach to learning and the strong emphasis on nature and outdoor education. There is a lovely emphasis on cultural learning, and First Nations inclusion. Our daughter has thrived here, and we would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone seeking the best care for their children

We have had 4 children at this centre over the last 20 years. All of the staff we entrusted our children to are caring, kind, knowledgeable in Montessori and are like a second family for the kids and us. Our youngest has been there since she was 4 months old - 3 now and it is great to see some of the same staff are still there. The Centre has been refurbished, has air conditioned rooms and has a relaxed atmosphere perfect for learning. All of my children have benefited greatly from the Montessori Education program and are all independent, resilient, confident, intelligent children and are able to learn independently with ease. Montessori Garden set them up with excellent learning opportunities from their infant years and when transitioning to school they were all greatly ahead of their class. I would like to thank the team at Montessori Garden for making it easier for me to go to work each day - knowing that my child is being cared for and encouraged to be her best self in such a positive, nurturing environment and encouraging a healthy thirst for learning makes it possible for me to support my family.

My son started attending MG when he was 3 months old. The staff is amazing and caring. They always make him feel welcoming, secure, included and safe.I love the way the educators use the Montessori way to teach children. My son loves working on practical life activities and he always wants to help me at home with the house chores.

Both of my children haven been attending this centre.The educators are very caring and inclusive and keen to provide feedback about your child’s development.The bush kindy program is absolutely amazing. They often take the children to parks, beaches and museums, etc. to explore the nature and create new experience.The management team is informative. They always keep the parents updated with any centre and staff changes. And I can see the centre is continuously improving their services.

We could not have found a better daycare for our daughter. They make every effort to ensure all children are safe, happy and engaged in a fun and educational learning environment, always striving to adhere to the principles of Montessori education. My daughter regularly and fondly talks about her teachers and classmates, which further reassures us she is cared for and secure in her sense of self while in care. They provide nutritious food, nature-based play and learning opportunities and quickly and effectively respond to parent requests and feedback.

Montessori Garden has given my son not just the skills to be ready for school, but also to be ready for life. His independence blossomed under the guidance of his educators and the Montessori pedagogy. He is confident, resilient and adept at problem solving.The education he received during his formative years has surpassed that of many other children in comparative centres, and this has been evident in the feedback and level of competence during his prep year this year. He is excelling at school and his teachers have had to extend and challenge him.The educators at Montessori Garden are knowledgeable, caring and compassionate and have been incredibly supportive of my son and our family.The community involvement in the last year has been amazing to be a part of, raising funds for fire affected families and businesses.This centre has been amazing for our family and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

We have had two sons in childcare over the last 6 years. We weren’t fortunate enough to be able to get our first son into a Montessori centre due to availability (great centres have a high demand). We were able to get our second son in at this centre and he absolutely thrived. The teaching methods are nothing short of fantastic and the staff are willing to put the effort in to see them succeed. I was amazed at how the staff would structure learning around each child’s interests and needs. I recall on one occasion my son asked his educator about rockets and not only did they give him some great information on the subject but they actually followed up by setting up a craft project for him to build his own rocket! Fantastic.At the end of the day the proof is in the pudding. Our son is in Prep this year and his Montessori education has proven itself. He is excelling at school and miles in front of where he needs to be.Great job to all the staff at the centre!

All the staff at Montessori Gardens Early Learning Centre are so helpful from the 1st time we took our son in to have a look around. Karlie the Director there is wonderful and very friendly. I cant speak highly enough of how this child care centre is operated.Our son comes home in such a happy mood and full of stories from his day.Great Job to all :)
