Highly recommend! I thought that choosing a centre was going to be hard but loved everything about this centre. My son started at 10months old and is now off to school. All of his educators have been great and taken the time to get to know him, his interests and how he learns best. The centre offers so many learning opportunities and is always neat and tidy. The food that they provide the children is great too! It always smells amazing when dropping my children off.

Can not recommend Montessori highly enough! The centre is clean, tidy and very welcoming. Our little boy loves attending and has developed amazing new skills with the support of his educators. We've already seen how the structure and style of the Montessori way of learning can foster his interest and love in music. The perfect fit for us.

If possible, I would rate it 10 stars. This is the most excellent centre my child has ever attended. I am extremely thankful to the compassionate and understanding administration for welcoming my child, who was feeling completely lost. He previously attended the Mildura Early Learning Centre (located on San Mateo Avenue) and was mistreated by the staff there. His nappies was not changed when he was 3 years old, and this happened twice, leaving him in a soiled nappy for about 8 hours each time. The way that place treated my son caused him to develop a phobia of daycare centres. During this period, I transitioned to Montessori Beginning centre. When my child began attending this childcare facility, he showed extreme behaviour such as refusing to leave the bed, kicking, screaming, spitting, and expressing hatred towards all of us due to his phobia. As parents, that period was a distressing experience, and I left each morning in tears. Since beginning Montessori Beginning, my child has shown a positive attitude and only cried during the first week. He improved significantly in various aspects. His speech and expressive language improved, he became more willing to try new foods, and he referred to some educators as "Grandma." When my child started Montessori, he was only wearing pull-ups, was not completely toilet-trained, and frequently refused to use toilets. The kindergarten teachers were able to positively influence him and provided significant support in fully toilet training. We never encountered any difficulties with him using the toilet as the educators handled it effectively. He didn't have any accidents, and their smooth transition really facilitated my son in effectively and effortlessly reaching a milestone. As parents, it was a significant source of support and relief. The management consistently provided exceptional help whenever I requested it. What an exceptional management. Emily the room leader in my son's classroom, Whenever we arrived, she stopped what she was doing to and warmly greeted us and took my child's hand to support him. My son always had a sense of belonging, security, and support with their care. I cannot list the names of every educator. However, each individual is absolutely remarkable. When I visited in the morning or late evening, they always greeted parents and provided detailed information about my child's activities for the day. They didn't need to inform me because I could tell from his smile, shirt, and pants that he had a fantastic day when I met him in the evening. I never anticipated his returning home with clean clothes, and since the day he commenced Montessori Beginning, he never came with clean clothes. This beautiful centre has greatly enhanced our quality of life through its superb care and assistance for children and families. I experienced it, felt it, and am so grateful for their support. I had to withdraw my child's enrollment due to relocating to Melbourne. Finding a suitable location and qualified educators is challenging. My son went to various centres in Mildura, and I can confidently say that this was the greatest centre he had been to.

Both my toddlers attend Montessori Beginnings and they love it! Interacting with both staff and other children. Facility is clean and well run. Learning and self- help is big part to education held there. Highly recommend.

Montessori has been fantastic for my kids, the things they have learnt and been taught goes beyond just the standard play, I’ve heard my daughter at 3 years old singing the days of the week, countries around the world and so much more. The daily skills taught are brilliant and the careers are all so fantastic, lovely and form such a great bond with the kids! The communication from the centre is fantastic and they are more than happy to answer any question or queries!
