25.01.2022 All ready to go with our new graduation gowns our little cherubs will look super cute in these

25.01.2022 Thank you to one of our beautiful families for our educators celebrating Eid.....Eid Mubarak

25.01.2022 What a challenging time we have all been through however, our hard work is paying off. As we continue to take precautions, work together and follow all the guidelines we will see normal life returning sooner than later. Please understand as a Centre we will continue with all the changes we have put in place to ensure everyones health and safety. ... We ask that you continue to use sanitizer at the gate. A staff member will meet yourself and your child at the drop off and pickup verandah. We will ensure your child washes their hands, unpacks their belongings and settle into their Montessori day. Encouraging our little ones to unpack their own bags has been a wonderful way for the children to grow in independence and practical life skills. We have been thrilled to see the growth and confidence just with this simple change in the childrens day. Not to mention, it has been a positive way to assist those children who may have been experiencing separation anxiety. With small changes we have seen huge results! Thankyou Montessori families for your support!

25.01.2022 Liesel is one of our classroom pets. The children were given the opportunity to hold Liesel during the week. We noticed that she had grown a lot and had shed his skin. This was a great learning opportunity in our classroom! #OBMC #obriensmontessori #followtheirlead #homeawayfromhome #learning #educatingchildren #montessori #montessorieducation

22.01.2022 OBriens Montessori has been like home to us for the past 4 years. I cannot speak highly enough of this centre. The staff are so dedicated and nurturing; they w...ill treat the children as their own. The Montessori program is absolutely fantastic and the children thrive on this method of learning so so much. The facilities are squeaky clean; my kids have never been sick from the centre. Nothing is ever too hard for the team here. We cant thank you all enough for giving our kids a great start to their primary school years. We appreciate you all so so much. See more

22.01.2022 In these unusual times I want to share a pay it forward that made both Michelle and myself tear up .....OBriens Montessori notified our clients yesterday of our own stimulus package to help clients through these trying times giving them more control over the choice to stay enrolled but self isolate or attend if you are still needing or wanting care .... after this was released we received a beautiful phone call from a wonderful client ....she wanted us to pay it forward and she wanted to donate her package to a staff member to stay employed .... what an amazing gesture .... and yes we will be moving that package onto staff to allow more wages to our wonderful dedicated staff in turn helping them keep food on their tables .... we are proud of our clients and staff and stand strong to push through these times together

19.01.2022 Flashback Thursday (photo 14 years ago) where it all began with my daughter Taylor (now almost 19) Montessori methodology in our family home ....... as passionate today as I was back then in this photo to make sure we bring the very best Montessori education

18.01.2022 Children bring joy to our hearts! There is no greater privilege than to be a part of a childs development. For myself its the giggles and fun that we share with the children at Montessori that makes our days so wonderful. Early Childhood Educators everywhere are also frontline workers who have continued to go to work every day to support families through this COVID-19 season. We will continue to do this because this is essential to care for the future generation! What a privilege

09.01.2022 It is with a heavy heart we say goodbye to our Centre Manager Michelle . I wish to express my sincere gratitude to this woman, not only is she the Centre Manager of my business but she is one of my closet dearest friends. Michelle has looked after OBriens with a level of care and love that is above and beyond. Michelle is one of the hardest working people I have ever met. I personally have the utmost respect and admiration for this woman who has supported me through so...me of my toughest days I have ever experienced with a listening ear and a much needed hug. I have seen Michelle offer this same level of care to the clients of OBriens. Michelle is the first to give a hug when anyone is having a tough day and compassion, empathy and generosity that you cannot fault or measure. I wish Michelle and her family all the best in their own family business The Taste of Spain food truck.... might I say the best paella around. Their family business has grown with hard work and dedication and it is now time for all members of their family to commit more to their dream to make it the best it can be .... I personally will not be saying goodbye but see you soon. Michelle will leave at the end of September and I will step back into the business as the Centre Manager. Please take the time to have a chat with Michelle she would love to hear from you all. See more

05.01.2022 A few days ago we went to outside drop off and pick up so only essential people are entering the building. Staff and children are sanitised at this point and parents say goodbye to their children ...... thank you to all our parents who are helping with this process to make it a smooth transition for drop off and pick ups of our little ones. This process is helping to keep everyone safe in such trying times ..... hugs and kisses (virtually of course cause we are all social distancing) to our families and wider community
