What Our Community Says

Our daughter had her first school experience at Slater Montessori and we couldn't be happier with her experience. She went to preschool summer school through kindergarten and was exposed to a wide range of curriculum, music, art and cultural celebrations her time there. Her teachers were gentle, kind and helped her build a confidence that she will carry with her for the rest of her life. The school was also kept impeccably clean, inside and out. Our only complaint is we wish she could continue her education through high-school there! Would absolutely recommend this school to anyone with a child starting school, the staff is incredible and your child will thrive

We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience our daughter had at this Montessori Academy. From the very first day, we felt she was in a safe, caring and nurturing environment. Safety and well-being were always clearly top priorities, which gave us real peace of mind. We were also impressed by how much they respected diversity. Our child and us were treated with kindness and dignity, creating a welcoming atmosphere where children from different backgrounds could feel at home. Communication with parents was always clear, thanks Mr Deyon. The teachers kept us informed about our daughter's progress and daily activities, and that built a real trust. Our daughter looked forward to going every morning, made good friends and grew in confidence and independence. We are truly thankful for the passion and dedication of every teacher there. We highly recommend this academy to any family. Thanks to Ms Liz, Ms Farren, Ms Kaia & The music teacher Ms Iva. Zuzi’s Family 🫶🏾
