We have two kids that attend Montessori Crows nest and we cannot recommend this centre more! Mariam Hotait is outstanding in her management of the centre, she hosts the most amazing events for all the yearly occasions including Christmas, Easter, Mothers + Father’s Day etc. The parent teacher nights are also very extensive and informative. Just these events alone put the centre in a different league of its own. The staff are extremely caring and attentive, all are super warm and friendly. We really appreciate the community inclusion the centre promotes as well as the informative daily updates + newsletters that we receive. If you are considering a daycare, I highly recommend to apply to this one as early as possible and give Mariam a call! Read more

Mariam Hotait is a class act and fantastic leader. She brings incredible passion, energy and professionalism that makes Crows Nest Montessori a terrific place for children to develop and their parents to feel part of their child’s education as well as a wider community. This is our third year at the centre (starting from the babies room and then transitioning to the toddlers and then pre-schoolers rooms) and while we have always been impressed by the teaching framework and individual attention for our son during each phase of his development (now currently laying the groundwork for his transition to “big school”), Mariam has made a noticeable difference to the level of organisation, engagement with parents and atmosphere. We’ve also noticed her very hard work behind the scenes preparing for major events (e.g., Easter, Christmas), driving important group activities (e.g., a visit by the local fire station on an appallingly wet day!) and responsiveness to parents. The entire centre is a better place for Mariam's presence! The quality of educators in the pre-school room are also first rate and have had a big impact on our son, especially Nassim Damini and Franca Cabelo. Read more
