Couldn't be happier with our choice to send our son to Absorbent Minds! The school follows all Montessori practices allowing the children to learn practical skills for life. The education rooms and playscape are beautifully designed and always tidy and organised. It truly is a gorgeous place for children to play and learn throughout the day. The staff are the heart of AM, they're always kind, smiling and enjoying their interactions with the children. They have made our transition smooth and comfortable while providing the confidence in allowing our son to stay in their care for a lengthy period. We have noticed multiple positive changes with our son since he started attending. He looks forward to his school days each week with ease and anticipation and lacks any fear, showing only enjoyment upon arrival. We can see how much our son enjoys his time here with how much he is learning and absorbing each day, even willing to try new healthy delicious foods from the stunning cafe attached. We honestly cannot even put into words how amazing his two teachers are, Isabel and Kalani. He has formed a great bond with both as the genuine care that these two put into working with our son has been the most rewarding part of all. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our boy feel so welcome, included and appreciated in the Elkhorn Community. AM also uses the Stoprypark app which gives updates of your childs progress, special moments, etc. A great aspect that is not overused. You are able to see important updates about your child and even converse with teachers over any challenges you may have or ask questions. Owners/Directors and sisters, Natalie and Anita are beyond kind. They are full of guidance and support for not only the child but the entire family. The were considerate and supportive during the early stages and have been nothing but informative and understanding since day one. Dynamic Duo! We would absolutely recommend Absorbent Minds to all families with littlies. The food and cafe staff are also amazing...Its a must try! Thanks Alex & Troy! Read more

We have experienced both infant community and children's house. I have found the educators to be approachable and highly engaged with the children. My child still visits her previous educators and still has strong relationships with them. While you only get a weekly story park update it is well thought out, informative and engaging. I feel like my child has thrived in this environment. Lots of activities each day outside the room in the morning and afternoon. Large play space. Very focused on Self care, care of other and care of environment - this has lead to confidence boost and leadership in our child. Educators are open to parent goals and willing to make a plan to work with you - when learning new skills we all committed to going all in all the time and the child was quickly were able to learn the skill as we were consistent at home and at the centre. Food is creative and engaging of child's palate. It encourages exploration of spices, vegetables and proteins. The quality of food is extremely high and I always get notes that my child will have extra so they clearly love it. Owners are passionate and engaged. They have surrounded themselves with high quality staff and have always been clear with communication. They were extremely supportive when we were on the waiting list and were very empathetic. I know I called too often for a update and they always took the time to take my calls. This support has continued throughout our time at the centre. Read more
