Carlingford Montessori Academy Child Care Centre

Terrible management, been waiting over two years to get a position.

The management here is very terrible and unorganised. Don't waste your time at this childcare centre.

High quality center for kids.Loved orgarnised learning programs and wooden teaching aid.Also beautiful warm hartful and kind staffs. They are so professional.Thank you Montessori Academy Carlingford.

This kindergarten is a very bad one. The child was less than a year old when she was in their side of the line, and now she is three and a half years old and still has no place. We recently learned that they are internally occupied, meaning that it doesn't matter how long you've been in line, as long as there is a spot, it's useless. But they also do not say, I went to consult several times, they know we wait a long time also do not tell us they such rules. ,you are so unequal and rude to parents who have been waiting for almost two and a half years? Is this a good kindergarten? We will never choose this kind of kindergarten again.

My two children are taken excellent care of here and the teachers are very good.

Highly recommend this centre to all parents who are looking for childcare! We had our best time at this centre with amazing staff, very humble and loving. My son had been in all 3 rooms and the staff is very caring!

Montessori Academy in Carlingford is a rare diamond in the rough of childcare options in Sydney. Accordingly, it might come as little surprise that its waiting list is as long as it is.At a little over a year old, the facilities remain fresh and new, as does the educators' hunger to deliver a wonderfully memorable experience—for children and parents, alike.We were fortunate to meet Miss Karen and the team at a baby expo and were encouraged after learning a little about the Carlingford centre—not least, its location's proximity to our new home. We promptly placed ourselves on the waiting list and booked a tour of the campus, stat.Miss Karen expertly delivered the tour, and we knew this was the one for us. We were, understandably, a little disheartened to learn of the length of the waiting list as the reality that other options would need to be considered began to sink in. That isn't a criticism of the centre, either; only a reflection of the availability demands.We toured other centres—both Montessori Academy-branded and other—however; regrettably, were not offered a comparable positive feeling". Any new parent relies on their instincts when selecting a suitable daycare practice to send their flesh and blood away from the homestead for many hours per week.We decided to send our daughter to another Montessori Academy centre to bide our time. (NB: Notices of availability are advertised internally before externally.)While the endeavour was a little more inconvenient in terms of morning and afternoon travel for drop-off and collection—there were also a handful of communication shortcomings in adhering to our daughter's dietary preferences and schedule at this centre—in hindsight

Our experience with Montessori Academy Carlingford over the last two years has been such a positive experience for our child and us.The comprehensive Montessori curriculum and materials provide an engaging learning environment.The daily reports, photos and monthly observations along with the use of the KindyHub app ensures collaboration and transparency between the center and our family and allows us to extend our child's interests from the classroom into our home.Montessori families also have the opportunity to join in class activities such as story time which is such a special time for the children.All meals are provided for the children and include cuisines from all around the world allowing children to have fresh, healthy and a variety of meals daily.The beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces are cleaned and maintained routinely throughout the day and also include a garden space and compost zone so children learn about growth, waste and sustainability.All of the Carlingford Montessori Academy staff show the highest level of professionalism whilst also having the ability to build rapport to create a warm and inviting environment. (We especially love seeing Center Manager Karen's smiling face every afternoon during pick-up).We highly recommend any family sending their child to Carlingford Montessori Academy.
