My little one has been attending montessori academy Penrith since she first turned one. I cannot fault the staff, the service, or the overall quality of the centre at all. While all the staff and educators are absolutely wonderful, I can't not give a special thanks to Miss Dee, Miss Raji, Miss Connie, Miss Sam and Miss Kaylah. You all go above and beyond, and it shows every single day.

Great centre. The team really care about the kids.

We couldn’t be happier with Montessori Penrith. From the very beginning, the educators and staff made us feel welcome, supported, and confident that my son was in a safe and nurturing environment. The team is incredibly caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child as an individual, which truly shows every day. Since attending, my son has grown so much in confidence, independence, and curiosity. The Montessori approach is thoughtfully applied, and the environment is calm, engaging, and well suited to children learning at their own pace. Communication with families is excellent, and it’s clear how much pride and care the educators put into creating such a positive space. Seeing my son build friendships and come home happy each day has been such a joy. We are incredibly grateful to the entire team at Montessori Penrith and would highly recommend them to any family looking for a warm, supportive, and enriching early learning environment.

We absolutely love Montessori Penrith. My daughter attends here and the care, patience and genuine kindness shown by the teachers and staff is amazing. They create such a calm, nurturing environment where children are truly seen and supported as individuals. The educators are attentive, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do, and it gives me so much confidence knowing my daughter is in such capable, caring hands. Communication is great and the atmosphere always feels welcoming. I’m so grateful to the entire team and would highly recommend Montessori Penrith to any family looking for a supportive and enriching environment for their child.

Both of my boys have attended Montessori Academy Penrith, and the skills they have learned are beyond words. My elder son started kindergarten two years ago when he was only 4.5 years old, the youngest in the classroom, and even in the grade, but he has been doing amazingly since day one. This is because of the effort and dedication the educators demonstrated in supporting him with essential life skills and a curriculum that built his confidence and self-esteem, allowing him to transition smoothly into big school. My younger son also formed strong relationships with his educators. He talks about them at home all the time, and whenever we go somewhere or do something, he always asks to bring it to school so he can share it with his educators and friends. Cannot recommend them more!!!

Penrith Montessori academy has greatly developed my kid in social skills , interactions and our everyday activities . I would definitely recommend This Academy and cannot wait to have my second baby to enrol her/him here

*UPDATE* I cried when I re-read my below review from 3 years ago... but here is an update! Bitter Sweet is an understatement!! Today was my daughters last day before starting Big School! So much of the below review is the same, and yet so much has changed! My daughter that is! She has grown so much! Learnt so much! Created absolutely beautiful friendships with so many, and has the most wonderful memories to cherrish forever! Montessori Academy isn't just a childcare centre. It is a family. The effort that these educators and staff put into the everyday is astronomical! They are so kind and considerate of the children. They are so good at understanding them, appreciating them, nurturing them and bringing out the best in them! When I took my daughter to her Big School orientation, I could not believe how well she did and how ready she was for it. That is the result of great educators and staff instilling confidence, character and respect into our little ones. Raising children isnt easy, but it is a lot more manageable when you have the support and village you get with attending Montessori Academy. I hope all the staff know how much we love them and will miss them! They will always have a special place in our hearts! Thank you Montessori Academy! <3 #SoGrateful P.S. Updated shout out also goes to Miss Raji and Miss Ashu! xxoo ●My baby girl is about to turn 2 years old (October). She started attending Penrith MA in January and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made! Gemma is a very clever and independent baby and so the Montessori principles of "Teach me to do it myself" and "Follow the child" are exactly what she needs and appreciates! Her teachers, Miss Nicole, Miss Kaylah and Miss Connie really understand who she is and support her in all areas of her learning and development. I know how much she loves and adores her teachers and I have no doubt that they feel the same about her. It will be bitter sweet when she moves up to the 2-3 room next year, but her teachers have already started preparing her for a smooth transition and introducing elements of the new room. Gemma is also breastfeed, and so the centre is very supportive of our breastfeeding journey, allowing me to pop in to feed her as she wouldn't take to a bottle. In regards to the centre itself, there is a lovely new playground in the 0-2 room, and every time I have entered the centre; whether its for drop offs/pick ups or breastfeeds, it is always so tidy and clean, and has the feeling of running smoothly to the routine; like clockwork! There is an excellent app, as well as emails, with daily updates and photos and can be used to communicate with teachers. I can't recommend Penrith Montessori Academy enough! The guilt I may have felt before sending Gemma is all gone and there are times where I feel they do a better job of teaching and nurturing Gemma then I do! lol Thanks so much for providing such a wonderful nurturing environment for Gemma to learn, grow and develop! I truly feel that Montessori Academy is exactly the place my baby girl needs to be! <3

We are so happy with our choice of Montessori Penrith. My daughter started daycare at 4 months old during the pandemic. She’s our first child and I felt extremely apprehensive having her start so young when restrictions back then prevented me from entering the centre. Not withstanding this, the entire team in the babies room made us feel welcome, comfortable and confident from day one. Our daughter has closely bonded to all staff and is so happy to go to daycare, she doesn’t want to come home! Her happiness speaks for itself and I don’t think she could be in better hands. I am so grateful to the team at Penrith Montessori for making my return to work positive and for fostering the care and development of my little one.
