We have had an amazing experience at Caroline Springs Montessori. My child has been attending since the centre first opened, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and education she receives. The educators are polite, caring, and genuinely warm, while also being very professional. They supported us through important milestones, including helping my daughter transition away from using her dummy, which we really appreciated. We’ve seen such positive growth in her learning and confidence — she has learned how to count and continues to develop new skills every day in a nurturing environment. It’s reassuring as a parent to know your child is in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend Caroline Springs Montessori to any family looking for quality care and education especially in Caroline Springs

My partner works with the Cancer Council, so we are very aware of the risks associated with sun exposure, particularly for any children. I am extremely uncomfortable with my child being outside in extreme heat and direct sun, especially during peak UV times. While I understand that sunscreen is applied, sunscreen alone can only provide limited protection. Children should not be exposed to high UV conditions for extended periods, and shade, protective clothing and modified routines are essential. It is concerning to observe educators resting in shaded areas while children continue to play in direct sunlight. When I raised my concerns with an educator, I was told that the children were “only in the sun for a short time” which I found dismissive and not reflective of best-practice health and safety standards. I do not believe it is unreasonable to expect that outdoor play is modified on hot or high-UV days to prioritise children’s health. I am not comfortable with my child being placed at an increased risk of sun damage or future skin cancer. There is a lack of consistent communication from the staff, I do not receive updates about my child's day. The previous centre we were at provided us parents updates throughout the day, but here they will only update us once a week or every month.

Thank you to the amazing team at CS Montessori for another wonderful year. My daughter has been here since she was a baby, and from the very beginning the teachers and management have shown her so much care and love. The baby and toddler rooms are separate from the older classrooms and always very clean, which gave me great peace of mind. The supervision and genuine care for my daughter are truly outstanding it really feels like one big family. Thank you to the management and staff for everything you do❤️

Our child was pushed and slapped by older children right in front of the staff, who did absolutely nothing to intervene. They were distracted and busy with their own tasks instead of supervising the children. When we raised our concerns, the management told us that they "cannot control such things" and basically expected us to accept this as normal. Completely unacceptable. This shows a serious lack of supervision, care, and responsibility. No parent should have to tolerate this.

My daughter attended here for 2 years, and I am so sad we have to leave. Thanks to all the team there for your wonderful care, inclusion, and education, but most of all for being a safe and nurturing place for her to grow and learn. I appreciate you more than words can say. Amazing centre, which I have recommended to many friends

My son and daughter attend CS Montessori, and the quality of care and education has been exceptional. The events, excursions, and incursions are always engaging, and the teachers are highly trained and experienced. We’ve noticed a huge difference compared to their previous centre:)truly outstanding!

I recently did a tour at Caroline Springs Montessori with Miss Katherine, and she was absolutely wonderful. She made us feel completely at home and answered all of our questions with so much patience and clarity. The whole team was welcoming, and the children were friendly and seemed genuinely happy. It was a warm, positive environment, and I left feeling very confident about the centre. Highly recommended!

My little one attends cs Montessori and the educators and management are so caring! They constantly provide updates on my daughter everyday and the daily snap shot photos of my child are amazing. A big thank you especially to miss anum, she is such an awesome room leader and my daughter truly thrives with the learning and education they provide. Highly recommended!

Here is what you can realistically expect if you enrol your child at this centre: From day one, you will receive no updates whatsoever through the Xplor app. At my previous centre, I received detailed daily notifications — nappies changed, sleep times, meals, photos, everything. This centre uses the exact same application, yet provides nothing. No transparency, no basic communication, no reassurance for parents. What shocked me even more was their handling of incidents. My child came home with a visible bruise, and despite me requesting an incident report multiple times, they still have not provided one. They cannot deny something happened, yet they refuse to document it. It makes me seriously question what else is being hidden from parents. For a centre that has only been established for two years, you would expect them to try harder — but unfortunately, the level of care and professionalism is far below even the minimum standard. I already have my notice in, and I will not be sending my child during the notice period based on what I’ve experienced. Parents deserve transparency, honesty, and basic respect, this centre has offered non.
