Beacon House Montessori Centre

If you are reading this, you’re considering BHM, I hope our experience gives you some insight to help you make that decision easier. Our daughter started when she turned 4, and I had friends rave on about BHM for years. Most of our daughter's peers have been there since 2YO, but at the time we needed an extended hours daycare service. Lucky for us BHM became an extended daycare centre in 2020…This did however allow us to experience other centres, from elite costly ELC’s to the local private neighbourhood daycare centre, I can't really fault either of the previous centres, but in comparison BHM is next level. My only regret is that I did not enroll our daughter earlier. BMH is the place where kids get the love and attention as they would if being at Nana's house, the educators genuinely care for the children and the children love them back just as equally (the last day of Montessori was a sad one for both myself and my daughter, she has made some wonderful friends and to my surprise considering I’m not a mothers club mum also made lots of parent- friends, who I hope to remain in contact with). When we first enrolled, Shemida asked me what I wanted/expected our daughter to acquire from her ELC experience. My answer was simple: “respect and kindness for others and our planet, and confidence in herself to try new things”. My expectations were exceeded. Our DD would come home sharing discoveries about our world, our planet/solar system, Italian and Mandarin and lots of art, songs and exercises/games she had learned and we enjoyed learning a thing or two from her :-) but most importantly it prepared our reserved, mostly shy daughter for Primary School . BHM provided us with a safe place to leave our child and the wonderful educators prepared our daughter with skills and confidence to start her next journey.
