Leppington Montessori Academy Childcare & Preschool

Went in for a tour, and was extremely disappointed. The lady leading the tour seemed unsure what room my 2.5 year old would be in, offering both the 0-2 and 2-3 year old room which I found odd as he would obviously be in the 2-3 room. They simply throw the key term ‘Montessori’ throughout the whole tour but I did not see any of it really embedded. We walked into the room and to say it was chaotic was an understatement. Two children left unsupervised in the bathrooms playing, a very small space for over 20 children and alarmingly only 3 teachers. I’m aware it’s mandatory for this age group to have a 1 teacher to 5 students ratio which was unfortunately not adhered to. I questioned her what the ratio was and she said 1:5. I brought it to her attention that she is 1 teacher short, she seemed frazzled, agreed with me and went to another teacher asked a few questions and came back to confirm it’s a 1:10 ratio which is completely untrue. I voiced my concerns about the lack of supervision and she agreed and recommended I go to the Gregory hill branch as they are more ‘established’. I cut the tour short and will never send my child to any Montessori academy’s. This centre clearly does not value safety, is all about filling the centre at the cost of students and clearly do not know mandatory requirements or simply do not care.

Our experience so far has been truly impressive. The team at Leppington have been incredibly welcoming, informative, and genuinely supportive of both children and parents. I’ve been especially impressed by the Montessori approach and the thoughtful way it is applied across different areas of learning.

A professional and caring childcare centre with a strong commitment to children’s education and wellbeing. The learning environments are beautiful, and the team works hard to create a positive experience for children and families⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

I would like to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to leppington Montessori Academy for the exceptional support and care provided to my son. The educators have played a crucial role in his development, particularly in managing his behavior. Before attending the academy, my son often screamed and frequently said "no" to everyone around him. However, thanks to the professional guidance and nurturing environment created by the educators, I have seen a remarkable transformation in him. He has become more respectful and is now able to express his feelings in a calmer manner. I truly appreciate the dedication and commitment of Miss Hayley and the staff in the classroom. Their efforts have made a significant difference in my son’s life, and I am incredibly grateful for their support. Thank you once again to the entire team at Montessori Academy!
