I'm glad that we've transferred our son to Montessori Academy Randwick. We have never felt so at ease with the educators and as well as, Mr Pak, the centre manager. You can clearly see how professional, passionate and dedicated they are with their job and happy doing it every single day. Ms. Lyn was the one who did our orientation and immediately, you can tell how warm, welcoming and accommodating she is. Ms. Loui, Mr Sunil and all the staff are very lovely. Our son flourished at Randwick Montessori. They helped and guided him to be prepared and equipped for Kindy. 10/10. We would definitely miss all of them when Cian graduates this year. Thank you to all the staff at Montessori Academy Randwick.

We had a wonderful experience with Auburn Montessori! My sister attended for a few years, and the experience was truly amazing. The staff were always so kind, caring, welcoming, and supportive. The learning environment was excellent, and they did a fantastic job of keeping families regularly updated on each student's progress and development.

It was clear that the teachers genuinely cared about the children's learning and well-being. We are very grateful for the positive experience and highly recommend Auburn Montessori to any family looking for a nurturing, supportive, and engaging learning environment!

All of my kids have been to Auburn Montessori Academy and it’s the best decision I could have made. The older kids were here years ago, and when they started kindergarten, their teachers kept commenting on how socially aware, curious and articulate they were. I’ve always credited a lot of that to this place. When our then youngest finished up in 2022, I thought that was the last time I’d walk through the door and was quite emotional about the end of this chapter.

Fast forward a couple of years, our youngest baby came along and I knew where I wanted her and was devastated when I called the head office number and was told there was no availability. I booked a tour anyway. On the day of the tour Miss Abir, who had been one of my older kids’ educators and is now the Centre Manager, remembered me, said “don’t worry, we’ll see what we can do,” and found her a place. That is the kind of centre this is.

Our baby started in the babies room at four months old. Leaving a baby that small anywhere was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made, but nearly a year on this place is her second home, and that is down to the care and warmth of all the educators in the Infants Room. My daughter is completely obsessed with Miss Kristina. She tries to jump out of my arms to get to her in the mornings, and now that she’s nearly one she actually gets jealous and cries when other babies climb onto Kristina’s lap (sorry, other babies). We joke that Miss Kristina is basically her grandma, and like a grandma she thinks ahead for her: on a rushed morning, she will check there’s a spare blanket, socks etc and despite the rush, this always warmed me knowing there's someone who cares about my daughter like her own.

Miss Asmita is soft, gentle and very patient, and my daughter adores her. Miss Yaoshan and Miss Swostika have been part of her days too, and the whole room works as one team. I love that that the Montessori curriculum is taken seriously by all of them even with babies: real group time, real exploration. And I see the results of that at home. She’s curious about everything in front of her and has zero interest in a screen.

Turnover is constant in this industry, so walking in years later and seeing Abir, Kristina and familiar faces in the other rooms surprised me and told me everything I needed to know. The daily reports got me through my first weeks back at work, drop-offs are easy, pick-ups are happy, and we have driven out of our way all year because she is so settled here.

Thank you, Abir, Kristina, Asmita, Yaoshan, Swostika and the whole Auburn team. I can never thank you all enough for being our village

We’ve been so impressed with the care, thoughtfulness, and professionalism at the centre. Our son has attended since he was 11 months old, and he’s blossomed. He’s cheerful, curious, and eager to go each day. We’d like to thank Miss Ummey, Miss Twinkle, and Miss Diana for everything - YOU ARE AMAZING. and Mr. Pak for his understanding & support. Even after moving further away, we keep sending our son here because we know he is safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. We can’t recommend them highly enough.

Both my kids went to this preschool and were always excited for school days. The teachers are friendly and they do care about the kids and their welfare. My kids have gone a long way since they started, learned lots and improved socially. Thanks for making my kids feel safe and loved whenever they are at school.

We recently enrolled our 2 year old here and are so happy with the move. The educators are all so warm and caring, led by the incredible Alisha who is so present on the floor as well as with parents. Information and updates are communicated clearly and the team really seem to know each child and their interests/needs. We have loved hearing our LO come home singing new songs and sharing about all the new friends they’ve made. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions Montessori Academy FAQs

What is Montessori Education?

The Montessori approach to early childhood education was developed over 100 years ago by Dr Maria Montessori (1870–1952), a renowned physician, anthropologist, and educator. At the heart of the Montessori Method is a deep respect for each child’s individuality, creativity, and natural drive to learn. This scientifically designed approach provides a personalised education tailored to a child’s unique learning style, developmental stage, and interests. Through hands-on experiences, real-world applications, and problem-solving activities, children build strong academic foundations while developing essential life skills. Montessori education fosters independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning, preparing children for success beyond the classroom.

What Education Programs does Montessori Academy offer?

Montessori Academy’s education programs are founded on Dr Maria Montessori’s research and principles, designed to support the complete development of children during their critical formative years. Each program is child-led and self-paced, allowing children to explore and learn at their own rhythm, while being guided, assessed, and enriched by experienced educators. In a Montessori environment, the classroom, students, and educators work together to create a dynamic and engaging learning experience that nurtures independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

What is the best age to start childcare or preschool?

The ideal time to begin childcare varies depending on each family’s needs, circumstances, and preferences. Children who start the Montessori program early often settle in smoothly and experience the full benefits of the Montessori Method. Early exposure allows them to build a strong academic foundation across all curriculum areas, preparing them to engage with advanced Montessori materials in the Preschool Program. However, the Montessori environment is designed to support children of all ages, fostering independence, curiosity, and a love of learning at every stage of development.

How can I enrol or waitlist at a Montessori Academy centre?

Book a tour at your nearest Montessori Academy childcare centre to explore our facilities, meet the team, and learn about the Montessori approach. Visiting multiple centres can help you find the best fit for your child’s growth and development. During your tour, ask questions about the program, curriculum, and daily routines to ensure confidence in your decision. Our Family Care Team will provide an Enrolment Kit or add your child to the Waiting List based on availability and your preferred start date. Families on the Waiting List receive quarterly updates and insights into Montessori learning. We look forward to welcoming you!
