Testimonials
"Our two boys were at Baobab Montessori from 2013 until the youngest
graduated to "big school" at the end of 2019.
From the first day to the last, across all the teachers we encountered
at the school, we felt the boys were nurtured and loved in a highly
personalized and caring environment.
The Montessori way of teaching really complimented our children and they
both entered Grade R with a solid base of numeracy and letters which I
feel gave them an early advantage.
Over and above the teaching, the school also offers gymnastics, ballet,
music, and swimming as extra murals – offering added convenience for
working parents.
The meals lovingly prepared by Auntie Rose in aftercare were nutritious,
balanced, and affordable.
Added to this, the school hosted many events like "special parents day"
and mothers/fathers day – plus the famous annual concert – which allow
parents to engage with the young ones and teachers and feel part of the
school.
It was a very sad day when the last Harpur boy left Baobab and we would
highly recommend this school to anyone in the area!"

"The Montessori methodology is only as good as the people managing it.
The Baobab staff are exceptional in this regard. They have created a
nurturing and enabling environment that has seen my children achieve all
their milestones cheerfully and comfortably.
The staff create a safe and secure learning community that engages
regularly with us as parents and provides an authentic holistic
experience. Overall, our phase at Baobab was an outstanding and
memorable journey."
—Vanessa Crawford
"I absolutely LOVE Baobab! Being a Montessori teacher myself, I was
worried that I wouldn’t find a school that fitted "my Montessori
standards", but I couldn’t be happier with Baobab! Bailey is spending
her 4th year there, it really is her home away from home! Would highly
recommend Baobab!"
—Robyn Craig
"From the moment we stepped foot into Baobab, we felt at home and knew
this was the environment we wanted our kids to be part of. It felt
intimate and friendly. 6+ years down the line, both our girls have now
graduated from there and moved onto big school. They were both more than
prepared for the next chapter in their lives and are both thriving, due
to the solid foundation they received at Baobab. We became part of the
family and it was hard to say goodbye at the end."
