I looked for an authentic Montessori Child Care Centre on the northern Gold Coast for over a month. Montessori is the only educational framework that I am willing to place our child in for early education as it caters to the needs of the whole child. I had placed my child in another Montessori centre in Brisbane before relocating and love the way our child has developed from its teaching methods. I cannot praise enough the consistent friendliness, kindness, emotional support and the teaching methods of the owners and staff at this centre. Not only do the team educate our child well, they go the

Loving and caring educators! I was so lucky to find this centre. The activists that they organise really encourage learning. My daughter likes to go there every day.
I found the Director and all the educators very supportive with any concerns that I have. This is one of the best child care centre on the Gold Coast.

My son has never accepted a childcare centre until we got him into this one. The facility and teachers are amazing and my son receives so much one on one attention. He has learnt so much and become so confident. He loves attending childcare now and looks forward to it. I would absolutely recommend this centre, such a caring and understanding childcare that goes the extra mile!

The crunch came when I found out my son was placed in front of the iPad for large stretches of time ( tv animated series?!!?). If I wanted my child parked in front of a screen I could have kept him at home! When I escalated my concern to the centre director he said they did
