Woodlands Long Day Care & Kindergarten St Kilda Road

Headland Montessori has truly become part of our family. Both our children attend the centre, and the staff have been incredible from the beginning. It’s a wonderful place where the educators are kind, caring, and make our kids feel loved and supported in their learning journey. The Montessori approach is what we value most—it has made a real difference helping them discover what they can do on their own and building their sense of independence and pride. ❤️ Thanks to all the wonderful people on the team

An early learning centre like no other! Both my children love going to Headland Montessori School. With great sense of community, learning practical life skills, nurturing educators, building self confidence, wide range of learning materials that satisfy children thirst for knowledge, respectful and blossoming friendships, my children continue to thrive in this positive environment. While my first child has graduated, she still has strong memories of the things she achieved while at Headland. My youngest started there since 18 months old and has transitioned from toddler to kinder room early this year and the process was well thought out and went really well. She is happy since the first week of enrolment and looks forward to school every day.

I’m really pleased with my experience at Headland Alma Rd and would definitely recommend it to other parents. One of the things that stands out about this center is how much they respect the children and understand their development. The environment is well-prepared, with educational materials that are designed for a purpose and follow authentic Montessori principles. Compared to other childcare centers I've tried before Headland Alma Rd, the difference is clear. Here, the focus is on early learning rather than just playing around. My daughter's ability to concentrate has improved a lot since she started here, she has become more independent and self-directed in her learning. She also shows greater respect for her environment and her peers, demonstrating empathy and cooperation and we appreciate how the center supports her in that. Headland Alma Rd is more than just a daycare; it's a place that really understands early learning and education. I’m grateful to have found such a center where my daughter can learn and grow in such a supportive environment.
