"Cannot speak highly enough of Apple blossoms and the team. The educators are engaged, friendly, caring, and warm. The chef's always do an amazing job, and the activities and setup available for the kids is world class. We'll be soon sending our second child there too, and I hope she'll get the same amazing experiences Connor has. (I don't mean to make anybody feel excluded as all the staff are fantastic, but a special mention to people like Rani, Megan and Annika for making apple blossoms a supportive and fun environment)"

"This centre is absolutely wonderful! The staff are mature and experienced. They are truly engaged and they have built a lovely nuturing relationship with both of our children, even though they are so different. Our daughter just randomly started singing a song the other day, something we have never heard. It was amazing to hear a 2 year old sing with such confidence and joy and with actions to match (which she'd learnt at care). Our sons curiousity is fostered everyday; from sewing and drawing to complex mulitplication. We are so lucky to have moved to this centre. Its even more amazing completely renovated; with awesome outdoor spaces. Thank you to all the staff that make it such a truly wonderful environment for our children. We are very grateful!"

"Do yourself a favour and book your child in to get a place here if you can. My husband and I cannot recommend this school highly enough. Their professionalism makes you question your own and makes you want to strive harder to emulate just how efficiently this business runs. They go above and beyond and never make you question whether you're doing the right thing by leaving your kids there. It is clean, the meals are amazing and the staff are beyond reproach not to mention that the communications between the teachers themselves and the parents is extraordinary. On dropping my daughters off recently I heard a new mother to the centre tell one of the teachers that it was now a pleasant experience when dropping her daughter off in the mornings, as at the previous centre she attended, found that there was so much crying and screaming going on that it was actually distressing to leave her daughter there of a morning, whereas here it, is nice, calm, quiet and the kids are quite happy to be there, obviously feeling extremely welcomed and safe. On talking to another mother, she advised that she'd recently decided to change her daughters schools after going to pick them up one afternoon and walking in to find a roughly 18 month old, hysterical with distress locked away alone in the nursery room. When this mother offered to wait for the teacher so she could attend to and calm the distressed child down was advised very bluntly that there was no need as this child was in time out, leaving her extremely concerned about how her daughters were being looked after when she wasn't around. These are amongst numerous other stories I've heard from other parents. The Director Miss Brooke has been with the owners of the school for close to two decades now which goes to show that the owners Michael & Kristine are committed to hiring only the best and providing an environment that keeps amazing staff like that on for so long with the professional systems and procedures they have in place, that work time and time again in each of the centres they run. If it's peace of mind you want, this is the school to enroll your kids in, if you can that is."

"I am a parent of two children that attend this school, and I could not recommend it enough. I will admit that I am someone who was completely new to the idea of Montessori when I came here. But now that I’ve been able to see my kids start to go through it, I could not imagine a better environment for them. I have also been following a lot of recent studies pertaining to pre-k programs as that is the age of my youngest. It’s been awesome to see that what these studies have been talking about is that approaches like Montessori have lead to much more successful futures. It’s just so well rounded and I feel like my kids are becoming better human beings. I mean my 2yr old clears his own plate at dinner now, so I’m sold. And just on a general note, it’s a beautiful environment, the play areas and accessible outside space is tremendous. The teachers are wonderful, and extremely experienced. And communication has been top notch across the board, especially in light of all that has been going on the last few years. At the end of the day my kids are super happy and are learning a lot. HIGHLY RECOMMEND"

"We arrived in Australia in 2017, new to the country and unsure about where to begin our family’s journey. From the moment we walked into Darwin Montessori with our first son, we were met with warmth, friendliness, and a sense of security that made all the difference. The team took the time to reassure us, making it easy to entrust our child to their care, even in a new and unfamiliar environment. When our second son was born in 2019, we were grateful to have Darwin Montessori as the first place we trusted with his care. The infant care team was incredibly flexible, understanding, and attentive, especially during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. They maintained a comforting and safe environment for both our children, which gave us peace of mind through uncertain times. Looking back on these seven years, we are deeply thankful for the wonderful journey we've had with Darwin Montessori. The entire team has been an integral part of our family's story, and we are truly grateful for the care, guidance, and support they have given us. Thank you, Darwin Montessori, for being such a special part of our lives."

"Heart goes out to all staff, children and parents after that tragic accident yesterday. What a lovely little town next to those devious geese. Your staff member went above the call of duty and stepped in when she was most needed. She will rise again as an angel if the world is true & just."

"My daughter has been going to Kensington Montessori Early Learning Centre for 1.5 years, and we love it! The staff does an amazing job and really cares about the kids. They pay attention to each child, and if a child is sad, they will give hugs, hold them, and talk to them. This place feels like home for my daughter! The daycare is like a big family, and all the teachers are kind and caring. I am so thankful for the great work they do with the children. We are so lucky to have chosen this daycare. Thank you!"

"The absolute best school I could have chosen for my daughter. She has flourished since starting at Casa Mia in 2022. The staff are all caring, patient and supportive and you can tell they love what they do. It's a small community that feels like a family and I'm so grateful my daughter is able to attend such a wonderful school."

"My daughter has been attending Orchard Montessori for a year and it has been a tough transition going from having aupairs to 4 days in childcare. But Mia and her team are amazing and have handled it so well. My daughter doesn't like drop offs but always has an incredible day and is so happy when I pick her up. They're sweet, kind and because it's such a small day care the kiddies get so much attention. I also love the Montessori method, my daughter comes home and puts her own shoes away, cleans up her toys and dishes without being asked to! Highly recommend."
