Our experience with Montessori Childcare Centre Dalyellup has been nothing short of amazing. The team goes the extra mile in every aspect—caring for the children, providing enriching learning experiences, offering nutritious meals, and creating engaging activities. They foster a warm environment where children learn to love and respect one another while developing independence in a consistent and meaningful way. At home, I follow a similar approach, and I can see how beautifully it complements my daughter's growth. She has learned so much from this daycare, and I am incredibly grateful for the dedication of the educators. Even though it takes me an hour for a round trip to bring her here, I would do it a thousand times over with joy—it is absolutely worth it for such an exceptional center. Thank you for everything you do!

Our Experience with Montessori Dalyellup We chose this daycare with high hopes, but unfortunately, our experience ended in disappointment. 1. Poor Communication Between the Center and Management One of the biggest issues we faced was the significant communication gap between the center staff and management. The information provided by the center often lacked credibility or was completely incorrect. Before enrolling, we were upfront about our son’s upcoming surgery and my dynamic work roster. We specifically mentioned that he was on a waiting list for surgery, and the staff/admin assured us that his start date could be adjusted accordingly. However, when we signed the enrollment forms, they immediately set his start date for the first week of January. When I reached out to Lindsay, I received this response: “Unfortunately, as we are not able to push forward the start date listed in the confirmation of care email, ——— will be marked as absent from the 6th of January 2025 up until the first day he attends. Please note that ——— is allocated 10 discounted holiday rates per financial year, which can be applied for a portion of the days he will be absent in January. Generally, we require 2 weeks written notice via email to apply the discounted holiday rates, however as you are a new family we will waive the notice period, in this instance. “ We reiterated that our son’s surgery was our top priority and reminded them of their initial promise. At first, they refused to adjust the start date, only reconsidering after we requested a withdrawal form. This was extremely frustrating and disappointing. 2. Issues with Flexible Scheduling From the beginning, I explained that my work roster changes weekly, meaning my son’s daycare days would need to be flexible. We were assured this wouldn’t be a problem. However, once he was enrolled, it became a major issue. Instead of accommodating the changes, the administration ignored our situation and suggested adding casual days on top of permanent care—significantly increasing costs. 3. Unfair Public Holiday Charges As new families, we were not informed that if a child’s permanent daycare day falls on a public holiday, the center is closed, but parents are still charged the full fee. I find it unreasonable to be required to pay for a service that isn’t provided. Final Recommendation If you’re considering Montessori Dalyellup, be cautious. Always verify any verbal assurances with management, as the information from the center staff may not align with actual policies. Even written confirmations from admin can be overruled by terms and conditions, completely disregarding prior discussions. Regards

My daughter absolutely loves going here. The ladies are hard working, beautiful people 💜 the facilities are modern and clean, the menu is different each week with lots of healthy options and the play areas are fun and bright!

We were very fortunate to find Montessori Early Years Learning when we relocated to Bunbury, we were welcomed with open arms and treated like family. Our son has grown up supported, loved and encouraged every day he attends. Our son loves going to “school” and coming home each day looking like he’s played his hardest. The team are incredible - they will always go above and beyond. I’ve recommended this centre to a few friends now who are just as in love with this place as we are.

My daughter has been attending this daycare since she was 5 months old and a year later I still can't stop raving about the staff and the incredible service they offer. As a small daycare the educators know all the children by name. The educators are experienced, many of them mums themselves, and I trust them fully. Robyn, the centre manager, is an incredible leader. I really value how they use the Storypark app to keen parents updated on our child's daily routine as well as the activities that each room did during the day. When my daughter was first learning to walk the educators sent me videos and I really appreciated their attentiveness.

Our child has settled in really well to this environment. The educators are caring, kind but maintain firm boundaries. Our child is eating a greater variety of food since attending and has made some great friends and is learning a lot in this environment. When she was sick the other week I said she might have to stay at home with me and she was upset because she might miss a day at Montessori. Thank you team, we really appreciate everything you do

Absolutely love this centre. My toddler is in full time care, always come home with new things. I can’t thank and recommend this service enough. All the educators are gem, the cook is amazing and management is always quick to chat about all the enquires. My toddler is thriving, we came from different background but the educator have been very caring and supportive, didn’t feel left out🥰

Absolutely love the place where you can fulfil you child’s needs and dietary requirements. Food provides accordingly family and cultural choices. Cultural diverse centre where children can get a opportunity to celebrate different religions festivals.

Both of my kids absolutely love this centre! We moved from a different daycare as my daughter had a hard time fitting in (it was a large daycare and she is quiet and reserved out of home so was getting overwhelmed easily). Dalyellup montessori have been amazing at accommodating her needs and she tells me she loves her daycare - high praise indeed😂. My son has also loved it since he started! All the educators within the centre are so caring and knowledgable and are always happy to give advice or just have a chat about similar things their own children are/have gone through! Cant thank them enough!

Absolutely love this Centre. The only Montessori Childcare Centre in the South West, using the Montessori Method of Education. Can't recommend it enough.
