My child has attended for about 8 months, and the staff here are exceptional — warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child. Being a new school, there have been a few understandable hiccups along the way, but the team has handled them with care and always kept us in the loop.<br><br>I really appreciate the Montessori approach — seeing my child develop independence and curiosity at their own pace has been wonderful to watch. The teachers also show real dedication to understanding each child's emotional and behavioural needs, taking the time to notice patterns and respond with patience rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I also love how thoughtfully they prepare the children for the transition to kindergarten, building confidence and everyday skills well ahead of time. Grateful to have found a centre with such a caring and amazing team, and excited to see it grow. Highly recommend!<br>Shout out to the 2 Nicole’s for their support and investment in my grandchild.

Our family made the switch to Montessori Derby Street a couple of months ago and we couldn’t be happier. Our kids have settled so well and the staff are amazing. They really go above and beyond to create safe boundaries (which my children really needed) and have developed meaningful relationships with them. Shoutout to both Nicole’s (Preschool leader and Centre manager) and Miss Ravinder (Toddler room), and all the other educators in there everyday, you are all amazing xxxx<br><br>Happy educators day! Sorry we weren’t organised enough to buy something special for you all but we hope you know how appreciated you all are.

The infant room team is outstanding! My little one has grown and developed so much while in their care. I love the Montessori philosophy and how it has enabled my child to be more confident and inquisitive. My child loves the educators and definitely has favourites! As a parent, I love that they team works with me and keeps me updated with all the little things that I care about as a mum.

Since switching to Montessori Academy Derby Street my son has thrived in his independence! He is actively engaged and he loves the grace and courtesy lessons. The director, Nicole, is also amazing. She has been extremely supportive of my sons additional needs, always is willing to help him thrive, and is a great director. She is always very professional and obviously cares deeply about all the children. When you have a great leader, it makes such a big difference at a centre. Highly recommend!
