Montessori Garden Early Learning & Childcare Centre

The team at Montessori Garden is exemplary in their commitment to provide quality care for Children! Highly recommend their services.

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.

Dear owner,
We have been waiting more than one year for my kid to be enrolled in your centre. But haven't heard anything back yet. Please let me know when it's possible, he is nearly 3

My husband and I absolutely cannot rate the educators, care, curriculum and cleanliness any higher. Our child attended for multiple years and consistently received the highest standard of attention, care and education!

All of the educators are engaged and ensure our boys are very well cared for. Through each year and with each new educator, our boys have created strong relationships and enjoyed their time at daycare.
Nothing is too hard, everyone listens and makes suggestions, even if its not what I wanted to hear its what I needed to hear. Of all the centers we have been to, this one is well above in terms of caring for our boys, and that ultimately is all that matters.

Montessori Gardens has been my daughter's second home for the past six months. She is 18 months old and thriving! The base services provided (delicious, nutritious meals cooked on site [not packaged and driven in], nappies, etc.) are just the beginning. The outdoor play area is HUGE and perfectly tailored to practical real life skills as well as dedicated spaces for spontaneous performance and play. Play areas are clean, orderly and inviting. The learning is interest-based and strikes the perfect balance between Montessori practises and the Early Years Learning Framework. The carers are beyond amazing with constant observations and meticulous recording of the child's day to day experiences (learning, toileting, feeding etc.). The price is absolutely in line with other centres that lack in a lot of these areas. I did months of research before settling on Mentessori Gardens and am extremely happy with my decision.

Fantastic natural learning environment, quality resources, exceeding learning program and inclusive practices, community focused and supportive team of highly professional and qualified Educators.

I would say Montessori Garden childcare centre is excellent! My daughter is attending here 4days a week she loves all and educators are professionals & enthusiastic.

We have always been very happy with the school and our son absolutely loves attending Montessori Gardens and continues to do so. The teachers and facilities are great and we love the Montessori programme that is followed. However, during the covid pandemic, we were very disappointed that our son was asked to not attend school on his booked days as we were covid impacted and had a parent at home. We were told by centrelink that this was actually NOT allowed as he had been attending on his booked days prior to the free childcare initiative. Other child care centres did not do the same. From our understanding, the school was being funded for all his booked days. Unfortunately the school management did not take our circumstances into consideration and we were left in a more stressful and disheartened situation.

I am about to drop our baby for her first day at Montessori Garden today. She is our fourth child to attend the centre and I have absolute faith that she will be adored and educated, just like her older brothers and sister.

Large outdoor area for the kids to play in, lots of activities for the kids to get practice in fine motor control as well as early learning to learn the alphabet and numbers with basic arithmetic

Kind, caring, passionate staff focussed on teaching children compassion, kindness and resilience.embracing multiculturalism, individuality, respect and child led learning, Montessori Garden provides the perfect start to any precious little life ️

The centre has an awesome outdoor space with ‘stuff to do’ but also great natural areas allowing children to use and expand their imaginations ️ delicious healthy meals provided for the kids, the cleanest and neatest rooms you’ll find anywhere!

I could go on and on but you’ll find out for yourself when you visit. I looked at four or five different centres that were all noisy, messy and a little smelly.but as soon as I walked into MGELC, I knew it was the one

Love the centre. My friends children attend and they seem so well rounded and happy, cannot wait to send my little one there soon.

I’m an avid fan of how well the centre and staff have coped through the COVID crisis. They have been tested mentally and financially yet still the children’s welfare has been paramount. Well done to all

After much research and touring of different childcare facilities in the area, we chose to start our son at Montessori Garden. It has been 6 months since he has started and I am very pleased with our choice.

The Centre itself is nicely presented and well organised. The outdoor garden is absolutely huge and is a positive when you have an active child who loves outdoor play. All the educators are highly professional and friendly. They plan different activities each day to keep the children engaged in learning but are still following their interests. The Montessori philosophy is embedded in everything they do especially in teaching of practical life skills.

Communication from the Centre is prompt with the use of the OWNA app. My son has had a few incidents (falling over, hitting his head and pilfering yoghurt when he is allergic to dairy) and the educators have been excellent in the handling of the situations and following up with me.

Since attending Montessori Garden, my son has thrived and grown in confidence and independence. He adores his educators and looks forward to going each week. I think it speaks for itself when your child can happily wave goodbye to you when you drop them off each day.

Overall - beautifully resourced learning environment with attentive staff who genuinely cares for your children. Best decision we made and we highly recommend!

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 friends child went to the service for the past 3 years and seeing what a Montessori education did to prepare him for his journey into school was amazing. The staff are well educated in the Montessori way of teaching using the materials across the 5 curriculum's and also following the Early Years Learning Framework. The way the educators guide the children in their learning across many environments is very natural and beautiful to see a centre run so well. The Director is welcoming and knowledgeable of all the current support systems and is very easy to approach for help.

If I had anymore children i'd send them here, the staff are fantastic and I've know them for a few years now. Responsive, kind and nurturing each educator knows my children and formed a bond with them at some point through the years. They understand the needs of my children (most of the time its more food and ice packs) but I'd like to say thank you, you guys have all done such a wonderful job.

I had the opportunity to be apart of the centres NAIDOC week last year, the warm and welcoming staff made me and my family feel at home. The centre hosted an event that beautifully honoured and recognised Australia’s First Nation people, their large natural spaces and cultural inclusivity is what drew me to the centre.

I do not have children at this center but my friend does and I have accompanied her on more than one occasion to pick the kids up.

The center is always very well presented with neat and tidy rooms, the children always look clean and happy and there always seems to be a surplus of educators in the building. Their outdoor play area is huge and on my last visit I noticed they even had a veggie patch.

They also engage in the community, recently holding an art auction to raise funds for the Australian Bushfire Appeal, I attended and spoke to many of the staff and all were very lovely and welcoming.
