Surry Hills Montessori Childcare & Preschool

Dear Teachers, Thank you for loving Chris Adam as if he were your own. The extra hugs, moments of connection, and care you’ve given him have meant the world to us. You’ve taught him responsibility, perseverance, and the joy of learning, all while making him smile every day. Your words of encouragement and updates on his progress have been so appreciated. We understand how many children you have in your care, and we’re grateful for the love and attention you give to each one. Thank you for capturing special moments in photos, for your patience, and for teaching not only academics but also the invaluable social skills of love and kindness. You have shaped him in more ways than you know. A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful staff of Surry Hills Montessori Childcare and Preschool—Lisa, Jaime, Ashlie, Kezia, Sioban, Nozomi, Emily, and Paola. To Chris Adam's Classmates and Friends, Thank you for being such wonderful friends to Chris Adam. The time he has spent with you will always hold a special place in his heart. He will miss the laughs, games, and friendships he’s made here. Though he will be staying in the Philippines for a while, he’ll carry the memories of your shared time together with him always.

We could not speak more highly of this daycare centre, and we were very sad when we had to take our twins out due to relocating homes. Having toured many different centres in this area I can say that the beautiful, clean and bright vibe of the daycare is immediately evident. The small team of permanent staff led by the wonderful Lisa clearly care immensely for all the children, and always take the time to get to know the personality and quirks of each child (and in our case the unique dynamic of twins). We loved how much time the children would spend outside and that music, dancing and reading is so heavily incorporated. They even planned daily focused activities for the children (even in the baby room) which we felt helped immensely with our boys development. Thanks again for all the love and care you put into our boys.

It’s cliche to say it takes a village to raise a child but I couldn’t be more pleased to have this amazing team part of our village! Lisa, Ash, Nozomi, Jamie, Emily, Siobhan and the rest of the team are the most wonderful influence and teachers to Bowie and he adores them. The team are passionate, kind, patient and all round beautiful people. Couldn’t be more happy we found you guys and your impact on Bowie and our family has been invaluable. We love you guys!

This is a wonderful pre-school and daycare. The educators are energetic, considered and warm. The centre Director is very involved in care and programs, and has really taken the time to ensure our child settles in as well as possible. The space is really lovely and very clean, and the learning activities and outcomes so far for our 3 year old are excellent. Their policy on sicknesses is strict and much appreciated.

Our toddler has just started here as a new enrolment. We were at a different early learning centre initially due to work commitments, and after visiting here once, all our nerves about disrupting our daughter's routine disappeared. It is clear Lisa and the team are passionate about early learning and approach it as the valuable and criitical pursuit that it is. The team is small: close and highly qualified. A few orientation visits blew us away and we enrolled immediately. Our daughter has just started and we couldn't be happier with the communciation, love, care and dedication of the team here. We made the right choice and couldn't speak highly enough of this centre.
