I was recommended this childcare by a friend and I am so grateful for it! We enrolled our LO in January this year and it was the 1st time for him to be away from me at 20 months. As he wasnt speaking much, he was naturally anxious and upset initially . The entire team, led by Ms Poonam and the Blue Gum senior staff were unbelievably warm, welcoming and supportive with both our son and us! As a FTM I was concerned wrt all the stories I had heard of childcare issues in the news and other places. My husband and I cant recommend this centre highly enough. Since starting we faced a health challenge for our son and the team were very caring in managing his condition. Our son is happy going to care now, enjoys time with all staff and children. He is definitely becoming more independent and his language has picked up too. No more tears at drop off!! A shout out to the chef (Raman) too, its a great feeling when your child eats well outside of home. The team are open to discussion and suggestions from parents. Thankyou and we're looking forward to the next few years here!

Hoppers Crossing Montessori have been ou best choice for our daughter. Our experience with the teachers Manmeet and Safina has been truly wonderful. They create a warm, nurturing, and engaging environment where our 2-year-old feels safe, happy, and excited to learn every day. What stands out most is their patience and deep understanding of early childhood development. They respect each child’s pace and gently encourages independence, curiosity, and confidence. We’ve seen remarkable growth in our daughter’s communication skills, social interactions, and ability to explore her surroundings with enthusiasm. It’s clear that the teachers genuinely care for each child and are passionate about the Montessori approach. We feel incredibly grateful to have such a dedicated and loving teachers guiding our daughter’s early learning journey.

It is such a wonderful daycare! My child has been going here for over a year now. He usually finds it hard to settle, but he is so happy here. All the teachers are caring and supportive, not just one. The entire team is incredibly caring, supportive, and attentive. I feel completely stress-free knowing he’s in such good hands. He loves them all—couldn’t have asked for a better place!

I couldn’t be happier with HCMC where my daughter attends. The teachers are absolutely amazing—every day we’re greeted with warm smiles, and it’s clear they genuinely love what they do. They show so much care, patience, and attention and I’ve seen firsthand how they nurture my daughter’s growth, confidence, and happiness. What truly stands out is the centre’s strong commitment to the wellbeing and safety of the children. It gives me real peace of mind knowing that my daughter is in a secure, supportive, and positive environment where she can thrive. I’m so grateful to have found a place where she feels comfortable, valued, and excited to learn each day. Thank you to Poonam and her team!

I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Hoppers Crossing Montessori. Sending my two girls there has been one of the best decisions for our family. It’s clear that the educators genuinely care about each child’s growth and wellbeing, and that level of dedication really shows. One thing I truly appreciate is their strong focus on safety. As a parent, it gives me great peace of mind knowing my children are in a secure and well-managed environment. The learning programs are fantastic—especially in literacy and numeracy. The activities are engaging and thoughtfully designed, and my girls are always excited to share what they’ve learned when they come home. I love how the centre encourages not only academic development but also communication, social skills, and environmental awareness through a variety of meaningful activities. The facility itself is always clean, well-maintained, and welcoming, which makes it even easier to feel confident leaving my children in their care. A special thank you to Rose, who has been incredibly kind and supportive. The connection she has built with my children means so much to me. I’d also like to thank Preeti, who never fails to greet parents with a warm smile and is always happy to answer any questions. And to Truc, who became my youngest’s favourite—her caring and gentle nature truly made a difference. I highly recommend Hoppers Crossing Montessori to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their children.

We couldn't be happier with the care our daughter Alara (2.5 years old) receives here. Her teachers Safina and Manmeet are truly exceptional — warm, attentive, and incredibly dedicated. From the moment Alara started, they made her feel safe and loved, and it shows in how excited she is to go to school every single day. Safina and Manmeet take the time to nurture each child individually, whether it's supporting emotional development, building daily routines, or patiently guiding the children through toilet training — a milestone we were nervous about, but they handled it with such care and consistency. As parents, knowing your child is in capable, loving hands makes all the difference. Alara absolutely adores her teachers, and so do we. Highly recommend this wonderful place to any family looking for a nurturing and professional early learning environment!

We enrolled our child at Hoppers Crossing Montessori centre about two months ago, and overall our experience has been positive so far. Safety has been a top priority for us, and the center has met our expectations with secure premises, controlled access, and attentive staff who supervise the children closely. We feel reassured knowing our child is in a safe and well-managed environment. The learning programs appear to be age-appropriate and well-structured. Our child has settled in well, which is an important first step, and we are hopeful to see more progress over time. The staff are warm, caring, and professional. They make an effort to understand each child’s needs and provide updates, which helps us feel comfortable and informed. The environment is clean, organised, and welcoming, with well-maintained indoor and outdoor spaces for the children. The food provided is also nice, and it’s reassuring to know our child is getting good meals during the day. Communication with parents has been consistent and helpful. After two months, we are satisfied with our experience so far. Our child seems comfortable and happy to attend, and we look forward to seeing continued development in the coming months.

We’ve had such a lovely experience with this childcare. It’s a warm, welcoming place and you can really see how much the team cares about the children and their development. We’re especially grateful to Iqra and Chelsea for all the support they’ve given our son, Ali. They’ve found such a nice balance between being firm and caring, which has really helped him build better discipline and improve his eating habits. We’ve noticed a big positive change in his confidence and daily routine. We truly appreciate everything they do - it makes a real difference for both Ali and us as parents.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Iqra Sadia as the ECT at our son Ali’s Kinder at Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre. Iqra consistently goes above and beyond in keeping us updated on Ali’s progress and is always open to accommodating any requests we have, especially around areas we’d like her to monitor. Ali has a speech delay, and Iqra has been incredibly supportive and encouraging - she gently motivates him to participate, communicate, and build confidence in his own way. Her patience and understanding truly stand out. Having had experience with different kinders over the past four years with both our children, I can confidently say that Iqra is one of the best educators we’ve come across. She is energetic, professional, and genuinely passionate about what she does. We feel very fortunate to have her as part of Ali’s learning journey. Highly recommended!
