Booked a tour to visit this kindergarten and met with the director. Unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. The director did not seem very interested in showing us around or answering questions. We were not shown the kindergarten room, and when we asked to see the play area, we were told it was not allowed due to ‘new rules’. It was frustrating to attend a scheduled tour but not actually be able to see the main areas where children spend their time. Overall, the visit felt like a complete waste of time.

I had the opportunity to complete my 30-day placement at Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre, and it was a wonderful learning experience. The centre provides a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment for both children and educators. I would especially like to thank Centre director Miss Poonam and my mentors Miss Ravdeep, Miss Safina, and Manmeet for their guidance and support during my placement. They are very kind, professional, and truly passionate about caring for and educating children. I learned so much by observing their teaching methods, patience, and dedication. I am very grateful for the opportunity to complete my placement here. Thank you to the whole team for making my experience so positive and memorable.

We enrolled our son at Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre from 2021 to 2022, and it truly was one of the best decisions we made for his early years. From day one, the warmth and care shown by every single staff member made both our son and us feel completely at home. We are incredibly thankful to Mr. Aseem who gave us an opportunity to be enrolled in the Centre. His leadership, enthusiasm and thorough execution truly mattered and he was always available for a chat. He made sure we as parents were heard and well supported. Ms Iqra, Ms Rose, Ms Delnaz and Ms Raj were wonderful — nurturing, patient, and genuinely invested in our son’s growth and happiness. They created such a loving environment that our son looked forward to going in every single day. Their dedication to the Montessori approach meant he was always engaged, curious, and learning in the most natural and joyful way. A special mention to Poonam, the Centre Director, whose leadership clearly sets the tone for the entire Centre. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care helped our son to thrive in a nurturing environment. Particularly our son was intrigued with the special incursion opportunities and programmes the Centre had – especially growing young chicks which imparted so much of curiosity for our son. The food staff, especially Safina deserves a big shoutout — the meals were healthy, nutritious, and cleanly prepared in the open kitchen. As parents, knowing our son was eating well gave us so much peace of mind especially when he was little. They would make sure he had his serve of food ensuring he wasn’t hungry. Hoppers Crossing Montessori Centre is a truly special place. The team there didn’t just look after our son — they helped shape him in his early formative years. We are so grateful for the time he spent there and would recommend this Centre. Thank you to the whole team at HCMC !

My daughter has been part of this daycare for over three years and has just completed her kindergarten program. We are extremely happy with the care and support she has received from the wonderful teachers. She has made great friends, grown in confidence and independence, and truly loved her time here — especially the food! This daycare has played a big role in her growing years, and while we’re sad her journey has ended, I am grateful for everything it has given her. We wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to other families.

Hoppers Crossing Montessori is an amazing place for children to learn and grow. The educators are very supportive and treat every child with care and respect. The Montessori system really helps children become independent and confident. My child enjoys going every day and has learned so much already. We are very happy with this centre and would definitely recommend it to other parents.

May the spirit of HCMC continue to thrive and inspire many more generations to come. Ashley & Micky

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.
