AGE RANGE: Licensed to care for children from infancy
NUMBER OF CHILDREN: 51 or more children. This is a mega licensed early childhood centre. Check that small family-like group sizes are maintained, and not large classes. It is important for children's learning and emotional wellbeing to consistently have the same teachers everyday. No child should feel or be 'lost in the crowd'.
IS THIS SERVICE HIGHLY PARENT RATED?: Before choosing a service you want to know if it comes highly recommended by other users. Check out the reviews posted below - are there any? Does it have at least 5 recent positive reviews if a small centre, or 10 if a mega-sized centre or a home-based service?
WARNING: Don't worry - this service did not receive a licence downgrade for non-compliance with the Education (ECE) Regulations or licensing requirements last year or the year before.
Bright Beginnings Montessori is an excellent preshool and I would highly recommend them.
I have had two children attend the preschool, the youngest is still there and has attended since he was 9 months.
The staff are kind, caring and treat the children like their own, particularly when they are in the nursery.
The education is part Montessori and part free play allowing the kids to be kids but also providing a very good start for their school education with structure work time.
