Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre has been a wonderful experience for our family. The environment is warm, friendly and thoughtfully set up to help children feel comfortable from day one. The Montessori approach is clearly reflected in every activity, and it’s amazing to see how confidently and independently the children learn and explore. The educators are genuinely caring and helpful. Miss Iqra and Miss Chelsea especially have been incredible with their patience, kindness and dedication in shaping my son’s outlook. They communicate clearly, share regular updates, and always take the time to understand my son’s needs. Their professionalism and encouragement give parents real peace of mind. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the care and learning provided here. My son has grown in confidence, skills and happiness since joining the centre. I would highly recommend Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre to any family looking for a safe, nurturing and high-quality daycare.

Montessori hoppers crossing is one of the best childcare in west Melbourne, I cannot express how grateful I am for this childcare centre. My son has been to several places before, but nothing has ever come close to the love, care, and dedication he received here. The environment is so clean, safe, and warm that I felt at peace every single day knowing he is in good hands. What truly touched my heart was how much my son has grown. He started learning things I didn’t even know he was capable of yet, and he would come home surprising me with new skills and knowledge. His confidence, behaviour, and overall happiness have improved so much. All of this is because of two incredible teachers — Miss Iqra Sadiq and Miss Chelsea. They have played a life-changing role in my son’s journey. Their patience, dedication, and genuine love for children are beyond words. I am forever thankful to both of them. I highly recommend this childcare to every family. Yes, Montessori centres are in high demand and waiting times can be long, but this place is absolutely worth it. Thanks to the amazing Wattle Room team, my son has grown so beautifully and now he is selected in Westbourne grammer school, this is all happen just because of this wattle room teacher’s hardwark. Thanks

Today an emotional day for us as our second daughter as well graduated from montessori. HCMC has been absolutely loving and caring environment for my little ones over last 4 years or so. Their dedication is fantastic and I would like to appreciate there hard work in keeping our little ones happy. Special, thank you to Vicky for taking so much interest and carving out plans to develop my shy little girl into a confident one for whats to come. Good luck to the team. Cheers

HCMC is undoubtedly the best childcare center in this area. I had experience with a few other centers for my older child, and while those experiences weren’t bad, my expectations were quite high — and HCMC has certainly met them in every way. Everything from their cleanliness, curriculum, food, and staff is exceptional. I can share two examples that many parents from other centers may relate to. First, regardless of the season, whenever you walk into any room at HCMC, the children are always clean — no runny noses or dried nasal mucus. This doesn’t mean the children never catch a cold; rather, it shows that the educators are attentive and quick to notice and clean up, which is rare in many other centers. Second, when the children play outside, the educators are always actively monitoring them. I have never seen them chatting among themselves during outdoor supervision, no matter what time of day you drop off or pick up your child. This was a major positive difference for me, as in many other centers educators often get distracted by conversations. The center also takes weather and cleanliness very seriously, which I believe is why children here are less likely to fall sick. I have seen other centers let children play outside in extreme hot or cold weather — even in drizzle — under the idea that “children should get used to the weather.” But at HCMC, they always make thoughtful decisions about outdoor play based on safety and comfort. As parents, we hope our children are cared for the same way we would care for them — and HCMC has truly fulfilled that expectation. - Syeda

One of the best day cares I have come across. The staff always treat you with a lovely smile and the kids are welcomed well on every drop off. I have seen the management, front desk, floor educators have a lovely bond with each family. It literally feels like you are dropping your child off to extended family to be looked after which is great to see. My child's class's lead educator is very well organised, knows her individual student and is absolutely great in what she does. If you are thinking of having your child there, please go for it! Keep up the excellent work Hoppers Crossing Montessori :)

We are so grateful for the care and love our child receives every day. The educators are patient, kind, and truly treat the children as their own. It feels like a second home for our little one

We have been apart of the Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre (HCMC) community since 2019. Over the past six years, all three of our children have attended the centre, with our youngest still currently enrolled. After coming from a previous centre that didn’t provide the right environment for our children, making the move to HCMC was undoubtedly the best decision we’ve made. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. There are countless positives to share about HCMC. The centre is always clean, calm, and well maintained. The meals prepared for the children are of exceptional quality, and the consistent daily updates and photos via the app provide great insight and reassurance. The Montessori program is structured and thoughtfully designed, equipping our children not only with strong academic foundations but also with essential practical life skills. Exposed to a wide range of purposeful activities, the children are free to learn at their own pace and make their own choices—fostering confidence and independence. When our older children commenced primary school, it was immediately clear the experience through HCMC had set them up for success. Most importantly, the educators are truly outstanding. Their passion for early childhood education shines through in everything they do. Their warmth, dedication, and unwavering commitment to our children’s happiness, growth and wellbeing are, without a doubt, the heart of HCMC. We recommend HCMC to any family seeking a nurturing, supportive, and safe learning environment for their children. Thank you to the entire team. We appreciate you.

We absolutely happy with Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre! My son has been attending for some time now, and the care and attention he receives is just wonderful. His educators, Rav and Padmini, are truly amazing – they are nurturing, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping children learn and grow. I’ve seen such a positive change in my son since starting at this centre – he’s become more confident, independent, and curious about the world around him. The Montessori approach is beautifully implemented, and the environment is calm, clean, and full of learning opportunities. A big thank you to Rav, Padmini, and the whole team for creating such a safe, engaging, and loving space for our little ones. Highly recommend to any parent looking for quality early education and care!

We’ve had such a beautiful experience with this centre. Educators like Miss Iqra, Chelsea, and many others are always so warm, kind, and welcoming and you can truly feel how much they care. Poonam, the centre manager, is also incredibly kind and approachable, which makes such a difference. My daughter feels happy, safe, and loved there. and as a parent, that means everything to me.

I recently completed my placement at Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre and had an amazing experience throughout. From day one, the educators were welcoming and supportive, taking the time to include me in daily routines and activities. I was impressed by how genuinely they cared for each child, always attentive to their individual needs and interests. The centre itself provides a calm, nurturing, and well-organised environment, thoughtfully designed to encourage exploration and learning. The children had access to a variety of engaging materials and learning spaces that fostered creativity and independence. I am truly thankful to the whole team for their guidance and for making my placement such a valuable and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre to parents who want to enrol their children in a caring, supportive, and enriching learning environment where every child is encouraged to grow and thrive.
