Templestowe Montessori Academy

We couldn’t be happier with the experience our family has had with Ms. Hila at this center. She is everything you’d want in an educator professional, responsible, and genuinely caring. My son adores her and looks forward to attending childcare each morning just to see her. He lovingly calls her 'My Hila, My Hila,' which speaks volumes about the bond she’s built with him. Ms. Hila brings together all the qualities that make a difference in a child’s day, and we’re so grateful to have her as part of our lives

I am delighted to share my heartfelt appreciation for Educator Hila at Montessori Academy Templestowe. From the moment we joined the academy, Hila’s passion for teaching and her dedication to each child have been evident. Hila creates a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe and inspired to explore. Her understanding of the Montessori philosophy shines through in the way she encourages independence and fosters a love for learning. She skillfully balances structured activities with freedom, allowing each child to discover their interests at their own pace. One of the standout qualities of Hila is her ability to connect with each student individually. She takes the time to understand their unique strengths and challenges, tailoring her approach to help them thrive. My child has grown not only academically but also socially and emotionally under Hila’s guidance. Moreover, Hila maintains open communication with parents, providing regular updates and insights into our child’s progress. Her enthusiasm and commitment to fostering a supportive community are truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Educator Hila to any parent considering Montessori Academy Templestowe. She is an exceptional educator who makes a lasting impact on her students, and we are grateful for everything she has done for our child!

Generally, the overall environment is great and facilities are new. Our boy has been very well looked after since the very beginning from the infant room. Now he is very happy and smile a lot in toddler one room. A big thank you to the team.

Our 2 children started at Templestowe Montessorri earlier this year and we couldn't be happier with Sarah and her team. Special thanks to the educators in both Toddler 1 and Cycle 1B. Ms Mina and her team in Toddler 1 are amazing! Mina cares for the children in her room with all her heart - Our daughter has grown so much (life skills, social, emotional, intellectual) in just a few months - we know these are all possible only with patience, love and support from the educators. My daughter loves going to class and comes home everyday happy! Our son' confidence, independence and attention to detail have improved, Thank you to Ms May and all educators in Cycle 1B, who takes effort to prepare my son for Prep next year!

Very rude head office staff! Spoke over me and made excuses rather than solution based. Social skills demonstrated reflects poorly on the Montessori way. Have to enrol a child in a mandatory day of either Monday or Friday. No incursions or activities that expose the children to music or sport. Nice centre manager but interrupted the tour to complete her day job rather than prioritising the planned tour and parents.

Was recommended this daycare from a few people and I can see why. We did a couple of tours in the area before deciding .Very clean facilities. Fairly new. Consistency with educators, very friendly staff and my child loves going. I get updated in detail of each day. They worked with me and my child to get her to enjoy her time at daycare.

My daughter Trianna has been attending Templestowe Montessori Academy since Sep 2023. In our time in the infant room, we have experienced nothing but love and kindness from all educators involved in her care. I've watched as Tree has grown more confident and progressed in leaps and bounds. Sarah, the centre manager is amazing! She’s warm and extremely caring and very respectful towards parents requests. Also very happy with Harsha, my baby’s teacher. She's really interested in the children's development and invests a great amount of time into teaching them life skills, social skills, motor skills, language etc. All educators including Bahare, Niva are friendly and very supportive. They’ve given our little one a huge amount of love, and she’s flourished in their care. I’m so glad we found this centre and I couldn’t recommend it more highly ❤️

The staff of infant 2 room (Miss Harsha, Miss Bahar, Miss Liela and Miss Niva)are incredibly nurturing and attentive, creating a warm and safe environment for kids to learn and grow. Highly recommend!

I recently had my child enrolled at this center for a short period of time, and unfortunately, I happened to witness a distressing incident where one of the educators was raising their voice harshly towards a two-year-old child, and it appeared they were about to resort to physical discipline. I strongly advise against leaving your child at this center, as there seem to be several educators and staff members who display rudeness and anger, and do not provide adequate care for the children. Consequently, I promptly withdrew my child from enrollment at this center upon witnessing the incident.
