I just love them! I toured lot of day cares before making the final decision. As a first time mom, you want everything special your baby and I believe it was the best decision for us! The owners and staff are great! I can feel the connection.

It's so hard to find a good daycare that's also affordable these days. We chose Montessori because of the owners and the staff. Everyone is friendly and very reassuring. They have great communication with parents. We've also seen a huge improvement in our son's behaviour and knowledge. He's extremely picky with food but he loves his meals there. We're very happy!

All 3 of my children attended here from infant to Casa classes. My youngest is still there. They love it! The staff are caring and knowledgeable. Enza and Rosa are fabulous, runs the daycare. I would highly recommend, your kid(s) will be in safe and loving hands.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I can't say enough wonderful things about Montessori start! From the moment we enrolled our daughter, we've felt nothing but trust and comfort. The teachers are incredible—so caring and passionate about what they do. It's such a relief to know that she is in loving hands while I’m at work. One of the things I truly appreciate is how they go the extra mile for my daughter's needs, especially with her asthma. They always ensure she has the attention she requires without making us feel like a burden. It's these thoughtful gestures that really stand out. And let’s not forget about the fun! My daughter absolutely loves it there. She comes home with stories and smiles every day, and it warms my heart to see how happy she is. I also love when they do her hair—it’s such a special touch that makes her feel loved and cared for! I highly recommend Montessori start any parent looking for a nurturing and safe environment for their child. We are so grateful to be part of this wonderful community! 💖

Baby Nur has been going here for a year now and he’s learnt so much!! You can tell how much they pour into the children and he doesn’t even look back when I drop him off. He’s only 2.5 right now!! Best decision I’ve made for him so far!! Love Rose & Enza & Nona! Great family owned Montessori daycare.
