Both my children attended Montessori, I have to say Montessori Academy Carlingford isn't as good as other Montessori Academy. I was a pleased customer for my first child, unfortunately, not the second time. Montessori Carlingford's educators aren't experienced in looking after hyperactive boys. If the educators ask twice, the boys still don't listen to join the learning. The educators will leave the boys to do what they like. Basically, the boys will miss out on the learning (this was confirmed and told by other good children's parents). If children go there full time, In the long run, children end up develop poor discipline. As a result, the children will have trouble focusing when they attend kindergarten. If you are a busy working parent with a super active child, please consider doing some research before sending them to Montessori Carlingford. Children under 6 are a very critical age for training their behaviour development and setting boundaries. My boy wasted his precious time there, unfortunately we found out late, If I knew earlier we will leave the center. You might also heard staff complaining about short staffing. Well, in my view, Montessori Carlingford allows the Centre Manager and staff to have their children at the same centre; these staff members are often too busy with their own children. I went there a few times during day time to verify what parents told me, that's how disappointed I was. 4.August.25 Since I was not able to reply to your message, I can only edit my message. As mentioned, my two children attended Montessori Academy. I'm your client, and I've had lots of disappointments until today. We've left, you can't do much for us unless you're willing to refund us in full (so we won't call). I hope this Google review helps you to improve your business and working parents with hyperactive children. Perhaps balance out the educators where they don't have young children, we also noticed that those educators with young children are very impatient and impolite when they are on the late shift closing the centre. The only nice one is the Korean educator. In addition, I also believe not all your educators are trained in Montessori Education, that's why they don't care! Your educators need to understand parents are the one support the business and they get the paid! So please be responsible!

Hi J Smith, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all genuine feedback seriously and are always open to hearing from families to ensure we’re delivering a high standard of care and education. After reviewing our records, we haven’t been able to identify your family as having attended our Carlingford centre. If you’ve engaged with us under a different name, we’d be happy to have a further discussion to better understand your experience. For clarity, Montessori Academy has a clear policy in place to ensure that educators with children enrolled at the service are not based in the same classroom as their own child. This policy helps support professional boundaries and uphold the quality of care across all classrooms. We’d be happy to chat further if you’d like to discuss your feedback directly. Feel free to reach out to our Family Care Team on 1300 000 162. We’re always open to ongoing communication and working in partnership with families. Kind regards, Montessori Academy
