Our Role at Montessori Kids Family Day Care

At Montessori Kids Family Day Care, our coordination team works closely with both families and educators to ensure every child experiences safe, high-quality, and nurturing care.

We support families from the very beginning, offering personalised one-on-one orientations to guide you through the enrolment process and help you feel confident in your child’s transition into care.

Our role continues beyond enrolment. We:

support children to settle comfortably into their new environment
maintain regular communication with families and educators
ensure all educators consistently meet regulatory and quality standards
conduct regular visits, including unannounced checks, to uphold safety and compliance
manage all billing and invoicing for families and educators

Our team is always available to provide guidance, answer questions and support you throughout your journey with us.

Fees

Each educator sets their own fees, hours and availability.
This allows families to find a care arrangement that best suits their individual needs and routines.
