"I started my career off as a preschool teacher. So I knew what to look for. Cleanliness, educational toys/programs. The most important thing is loving staff and every single person in my sons room and all the staff I have met in the other rooms ticks all the boxes. They call my son by name and greet him every morning, they take the time to make sure he is clean and not walking around dirty throughout the day. They actually wipe his tears and cuddle him when I leave. What more can you ask but that your children are loved when you leave them. I am so so lucky to have found this place. The center manager Jess, has held my hand every step of the way. So supportive, so transparent and goes out of her way to let you know what your child was doing and how they were throughout the day. Such a beautiful person and I can say that about all the staff there. Knowing that space is limited, if you can get them in, then it is one of the best centers I have come across and I am so fortunate to have gotten my son in there when I did."

"I have been working with kids for 12 years myself but I never imagined how difficult was going to leave my own baby in care. I visited 8 daycares around the area and from the moment I stepped into St George Montesorri I knew I wanted my baby to be there. My son was 16 months when started and his transition wasn’t easy but educators are amazing. He was always held when crying, lots of cuddles and attention. They will call me if he was upset to collect early. The communication has always been fantastic and today my son loves daycare so much. He is so happy to go and he gets excited as soon as we get in the car in the morning. Educators are AMAZING ! Their job is priceless and I am forever grateful for all the love and amazing care they provided. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ☺️ Miss Maylene, Chavi, Sue, Livia, Miriam, Mamta, Adriana, Leami, Sultana, Effie and Eve ( sorry if I forget to mention someone) You are all super starts 🧡"

"This is our 2nd year as a parent of a Northside student. I frequently describe it as magical because of the beautiful learning environment that the teachers so purposefully create through their attention to the needs of students, their preparations of physical spaces, and their true connection with children and families. We feel so fortunate to be there!"

"After almost 2 years at the Smithfield centre, my daughter is now graduating from the preschool room. Although at first she had initial transition challenges adopting the Montessori education, she now loves coming to the centre to learn & play with her teachers & peers. I have seen immense growth in her skills, behaviour & independence, and I have loved watching her learn & grow & become prepared for the big school. The staff is extremely friendly and professional. Special thanks to Ms. Zoe for taking good care of my daughter and giving us a positive experience with great outcomes. My baby is also starting in few weeks & we're looking forward to watch him flourish in this lovely environment."

"Kei Ikeda has conceived the most wonderful fusion of Montessori and modern dance. The philosophy, grace, flexibility and respect of Montessori together with her professional dance experiences have created rich learning and activities for children to explore concepts sensorially and synthesize them in new and exciting ways through dance. Who would have thought that a beautiful dance sequence could come from the letters in a child's name...Kei's creativity is inspiring."

"I recently completed my first ECT work placement in the Baby Room, where the educators were incredibly kind and supportive. Their professional approaches not only made me feel relaxed and enjoy the experience but also inspired me to explore new ways to better support children's learning. My mentor, Miss Chaya, was exceptionally patient when I shared my observations and plans, offering constructive feedback that was both insightful and encouraging. The centre manager, Miss Komal, was always very supportive, and I feel so fortunate to have completed my Prac in such a wonderful environment."

"I have had my fair share of experience at centres, and Belmore Montessori is the best centre i have seen and had the pleasure of having care for my children. The staff are outstanding in all aspects. They are nurturing, caring, supportive and definitely have become family. I love the diversity there is within the centre, and most importantly, I love the open communication between parent and educator about the progress of your child. My daughter will transition into Kindy next year more than ready thanks to the amazing team, most importantly Ms Mirelle and Ms Kristine. I look forward to seeing my little one grow within the centre and also transition into big school."
