Climbing Ladders Early Learning & Montessori Centre Parklea

We initially began our journey with Climbing Ladders at the North Kellyville Centre, but with the support and guidance of the wonderful owner, we made the move to Climbing Ladders Stanhope Gardens due to its closer proximity to home. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms by the amazing Miss Rose – such a lovely, warm, and genuine person who instantly made us feel like part of the family. Miss Rose didn’t just look after our son; she supported our whole family through difficult periods of illness, offering kindness, care, and incredible professionalism every step of the way. All of the educators at Stanhope Gardens are fantastic – so nurturing, attentive, and passionate about what they do. Our son settled in beautifully with the help of Miss Gurleen, Miss Taran, Miss Naomi, Miss Abinaya and Miss Glaiza, which is a true testament to the positive and loving environment they've created. The communication from the centre is excellent, and we always feel informed, reassured, and confident that our child is in the best hands. We can’t thank Miss Rose and the entire team enough for everything. You’ve made such a difference in our lives, and we’re forever grateful!

I enrolled my daughter at Climbing Ladders Early Learning & Montessori Centre, and we’ve had a wonderful experience. The educators are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about the children’s development. My daughter settled in quickly and enjoyed the Montessori-based activities, which really encouraged her independence and confidence. The centre is clean, well-organized, and communication with parents has been excellent. I’ve seen so much growth in her during her time there, and I’d happily recommend Climbing Ladders to other parents.

I am incredibly happy with the care and attention my son receives at this childcare center. The teachers – Miss Rose, Miss Riya, Miss Mariyam, Miss Gurleen and all the others – are all exceptional. They create a nurturing, educational environment that has really helped him grow. What stands out to me is their commitment to involving parents in the process. They conduct regular parent-teacher meetings, which I really appreciate. It helps me stay connected with the child's progress and development, and I always leave the meetings feeling confident about his care and learning. I highly recommend this childcare center for anyone looking for a supportive, caring, and professional environment for their child!

My son attended climbing ladders, Stanhope Gardens for three years and we honestly cannot recommend it highly enough. Mrs.Rose, the centre director is incredibly dedicated and kind and works really hard to plan all sorts of activities and incursions for the children. The children enjoy sports programs, visits from the dentist, visits from 'the science guy', live performances for Chinese new year, baking, gardening. you name it! Mrs.Rose even pulls out her guitar from time to time and goes around the classrooms playing and singing to the children which they absolutely love. The entire staff is incredibly kind, caring and professional. I always felt that my son was being watched by family who loved him by the way he was treated and how we as parents were treated. The teachers are so easy to communicate with, they kept us so well informed and regularly asked for our feedback. They hold parent information nights, regular cultural events and school readiness sessions. They strive to make the environment very inclusive and structured while still allowing children to explore their interests independently. They support a Montessori and other school curriculums through their learning program bye experienced educators. I felt like my child was incredibly well prepared for school and blossomed so much as a result of the amazing teachers here. One thing I loved about CL was the emphasis on independence they try to teach the children. They are loving and affectionate but also have expectations from the students (E.g. pack away toys after playing, wash hands before meals, learn to serve their plate of morning tea, put away backpacks and other belongings). That all translated to home where my son was eager to try to help me with tasks or bring his plate to the kitchen after dinner etc and really helped him learn to be responsible. Another aspect of this school that was a godsend for me was the magic they worked with potty training. Istill can't believe how fast they were able to get him toilet trained and in a way where he didn't feel anxiety. Like many other things, the teachers would consult us as parents to make sure our methods were aligned. It always felt like a partnership with them :) The owners are also very kind and present in the daily running of the centre. One of the things I appreciated is how well kept the facility is. The toys and equipment are really well taken care of, the rooms are always clean and in general the facilities are really well looked after. Last but definitely not least the food is really really nice. My son went from eating virtually no veg and being extremely picky to (after a patient transition supported by the teachers) trying almost anything and he always ate full servings of the food provided! The chef makes healthy and delicious lunches daily for morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and late tea and we are so grateful for her. I am really grateful for my son's time with climbing ladders. The teachers are like family and we are incredibly grateful for the love and learning they imparted onto my son. Just a wonderful centre!
