As a parent, choosing the right childcare center is one of the most important decisions I have ever made. After extensive research and numerous visits to various facilities, I found Luna Montessori to be an absolute gem. My experience with this center has been nothing short of exceptional, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we first stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff at Luna Montessori is truly outstanding. They are not only highly qualified and experienced but also genuinely caring and nurturing. It is evident that they are passionate about what they do, and it shows in how they interact with the children. The center places a strong emphasis on both educational and social development, ensuring that the children are well-prepared for the next steps in their educational journey. What sets Luna Montessori apart is its commitment to safety and cleanliness. The facility is always spotless, and the safety protocols are stringent, giving me peace of mind that my child is in a secure environment. The outdoor play area is spacious and well-maintained, allowing the children to enjoy plenty of fresh air and physical activity. Communication with parents is another area where Luna Montessori excels. They keep us informed with regular updates about our child’s progress, daily activities, and any important announcements. This transparency helps build a strong partnership between parents and caregivers, ensuring that we are always on the same page regarding our child's needs and development. Though our stay in Luna Montessori is quite short, we are truly grateful with your patience, gentle care and commitment to our child. Thank you so much Ms Faye and to all your staff. We will truly miss you and will keep in touch.

Highly recommend the excellent team of Luna Montessori. I am truly grateful for Ms Faye and the whole team for providing a nurturing and caring learning environment for my daughter for almost 2 years. She just graduated and we definitely miss the friendly and ever welcoming staff of Luna. Luna is certainly a great place for fostering young minds. It surely helped my daughter in a lot of aspects in her early formative years prior to, and in preparation for the big school. To Ms Faye and the Team, we sincerely appreciate all the effort in looking after my daughter. Thank you for your support for the last 2 years. Luna will always be a special place for us.

Our experience at Luna’s Montessori Preschool has been absolutely wonderful! My daughter not only enjoyed playing with her friends but also learned so many new things. Luna has truly prepared her for the next step in her education. The teachers are incredibly professional and kind-hearted, genuinely caring about each child’s individual development. Luna’s Montessori Preschool is such a warm and nurturing home for all the kids. Highly recommended!

We sent all three of our children to Luna Montessori even after investigating EVERY OTHER day-care service in the area. If you want your children to learn and grow in the safest possible environment then Luna is the best choice. We met the Manager while the facility was still under construction, originally we were attracted by the Montessori framework that prioritises both academic and social progress so we booked a meeting to come in and discuss and at that point we also found out just how passionate Faye, her family and the whole team are about the service they offer. There are too many highlights to cover just in a review but here are some that really stuck out to me: • Over the Covid isolation period, we had two children at Montessori and one that had graduated to primary school. Over this period where the whole country had to stay home, I would say that the level of teaching (via zoom) was even better from Luna than what the primary school provided – and when you consider everything going on at the time the time that wouldn’t have been easy and it would have been easy for them to do very little with three and four year olds... but I think it shows how passionate they are. • Focus on Safety – Because Luna starts at two years old we a bad experience with another centre before sending our children. Even though our concerns had literally nothing to do with Luna they still listened and explained how they would have handled the concern (which if the other centre had taken even half of the steps that Luna does then there simply wouldn’t have been an issue). • The best preparation for their next steps into schooling – The framework that Luna uses makes for a really easy transition into school (they are already used to learning, more so than the other frameworks we saw) We have seen the contrast compared to others transitioning into school and this approach gives them a headstart. • Consistent standards – Luna has maintained the same excellent standard the entire time all three children were there, even over Covid. It’s worth noting that one of the centres we tried before arriving at Luna started well, then had staffing issues and weren’t able to maintain them – this has never been an issue at Luna Montesori. • As our youngest has just graduated we really miss not being able to come into Luna with our children anymore and this is just a testament to the experience we had there. In Summary, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Luna. They make you feel part of the family. The staff are excellent, friendly and know what they’re doing. The location and facility is great. It's a big decision when you select a pre-school to look after your children and as far as we are concerned Luna has been the best.
