Gungahlin Montessori Academy Childcare & Preschool

One of the best decisions was to choose Montessori for my son. He started going to child care in September last year for the first time, and being our first child, me and my wife were very tensed and worried thinking how our son will adapt to child care at the age of 2 years. To our surprise he adapted himself in few days, and this would not have been possible without the support of educators from Toddler room. All educators in toddler room are doing an incredible job and they have helped my son in every manner. The care they give, the support they give, the love they give, the attention they give - is incredible. 5 stars to their service. They keep us informed with everything in regards to our son’s development and they always make sure that we are aware of everything. I still remember our induction day where the lead educator of toddler room was explaining everything to us, and from that day we got a feeling that our son will be in safe hands, as she was so professional towards her role, as well as so loving and caring towards our son. That induction day was just the beginning, and the love and support have grown ever since. So a BIG THANKS to the toddler room educators for taking care of our son. Its because of them only i have peace of mind that my son is in safe hands. Thank you for the best service.

We transferred our daughter to Montessori Academy Gungahlin after she kept getting sick at her previous daycare. She has really thrived and made new friends at Montessori. Many thanks to the dedicated and friendly educators and staff for making this happen. Highly recommend Montessori Academy Gungahlin.

I couldn't be happier with the care and education my son receives at Gungahlin Montessori Academy Child Care Centre. The staff are incredibly dedicated and nurturing, creating a warm and welcoming environment where my child thrives. The facilities are top-notch, and the curriculum is both engaging and enriching. We've seen significant growth in our son's confidence and skills since he started attending. Thank you to the entire team for your exceptional service and commitment to excellence!

Even words can't describe my sickening experience at Gungahlin Montessori Academy I'm extremely disappointed with the level of care and supervision provided by Gungahlin Montessori Academy. My child was involved in an incident that could have been prevented with proper supervision. The incident occurred on 27th November at approximately 9:50 am( as mentioned by organisation upon CCTV footage investigation). However, I was not informed about it until almost an hour later. When I asked the staff about the incident, they admitted that they didn't notice it happening and had to review the CCTV footage to investigate. This lack of supervision and delayed notification led to a significant gap in time, which I believe exacerbated my child's injury. During our meeting to discuss the incident, the area manager offered to end my child's enrolment effective from the date of the incident and waive the fees for the 12-week withdrawal notice period. However, we were expecting a more compassionate and reasonable approach, considering the circumstances. We had hoped that the fees would be waived until my child was in good condition to attend the daycare centre again and until we could regain trust over a period. Instead, the offer was made with conditions, and the area manager's demeanor changed when we expressed our intention to share our experience as a Google review. What's even more concerning is the way the area manager handled the situation. Instead of taking responsibility and apologizing, she became confrontational and threatened to withdraw the offer if we proceeded with the Google review. As a parent, I expect a higher level of professionalism, respect, and accountability from an organization entrusted with the care of my child. Unfortunately, Gungahlin Montessori Academy fell short of these expectations. Moreover, I feel that they treat parents as mere numbers, rather than valued members of the community. The lack of empathy, understanding, and transparency is alarming. What's even more astonishing is that despite experiences like mine, Gungahlin Montessori Academy still maintains a 4/5-star rating. I find it suspicious and question the authenticity of these reviews. It's concerning to think that other parents may be misled by these ratings and unknowingly put their children at risk. I would caution other parents to carefully consider their options before enrolling their children at this academy. If I could, I would give a rating of -100/5 to reflect my extreme disappointment and concern.
