We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience our son has had at Coronation Montessori. Under the caring and dedicated guidance of Mrs. Lanaway, he has flourished in ways we could only hope for. Mrs. Lanaway creates a nurturing environment where he feels safe, loved, and excited to learn every day. Her personalized approach to each child’s learning journey has made a remarkable difference in his social skills, creativity, and academic readiness.

One of the most impressive aspects of his time at Coronation Montessori has been the development of his behavior skills. He has learned how to interact respectfully with his peers, follow instructions, and express his emotions in positive ways. These essential skills have not only made him more confident but also prepared him for the structured environment of kindergarten. Mrs. Lanaway has played a crucial role in getting him ready for this next big step.

The engaging activities and thoughtfully designed curriculum have sparked our son’s curiosity and fostered a love for learning that we believe will last a lifetime. We have seen him grow in confidence and develop a range of skills that prepare him well for the future. Thank you.

Mrs. Lanaway is an exceptional teacher with such a special gift. She has created an environment that is so warm and welcoming for her students. Our son looks forward to going to school everyday and is constantly learning new things at Coronation Montessori. We feel very lucky that our child is able to have such a positive experience with his first exposure to school, and we are confident that his time at Coronation Montessori will help to set him up for success in Kindergarten. We would recommend Mrs. Lanaway to anybody who is lucky enough to be taught by her.

Our daughter Milli was a graduate of Mrs. Lanaway’s former pre-school in Vernon. I believe that being with Mrs. Lanaway laid the foundation for Milli’s further education and helped her transition smoothly into the school system. Mrs. Lanaway gave the children structure and stimulation in a such a safe and fun environment. She embraced all her students with kindness and compassion and got them excited and engaged about learning whilst teaching them social skills. Milli now lives back in Australia and the day she was accepted into university to study Law one of the first people she called was Mrs. Lanaway. That gives you an insight into how highly our family valued Mrs. Lanaway’s contribution to Milli’s education.

My daughter was instructed in pre-school by Judith, and I feel the instruction she received that year coupled with Judith’s skills directly resulted in my daughter starting Kindergarten with not only better academic skills and habits, but also better social and interactive skills than other children her age. I would recommend Judith’s school to any other parent looking to give their children a good head start to their school years.

My name is Jered Dennis and both my boys attended Judith’s preschool spanning more than 6 years.

It was our experience that Judith Lanaway facilitated a safe, professional, caring, educational and nurturing environment for both our boys to learn, play and thrive. Judith has numerous systems in place to ensure the safety of the children encompassing; drop-off, in school attendance and student pick-up. Judith ensured healthy snacks and appropriate play and learning activities, targeted to our boys specific developmental stages. Judith Lanaway puts the best interest of the children in her care first. She is a genuinely caring and nurturing soul, with the patience only a dedicated and professional preschool educator can possess. Judith’s preschool is an amazing preschool which I would recommend to any parent. The peace of mind knowing that your children are safe and preparing developmentally for kindergarten is PRICELESS.
