At AMIGA Montessori, we are committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children. As a Child Safe Organisation, we actively promote and embed child safety in everything we do. Our centres are equipped with CCTV, and we have a strict no mobile phone policy in all classrooms to support a safe and transparent environment. We take all allegations of misconduct seriously and respond immediately and thoroughly. All applicants will be subject to reference checks and required to provide a current Working with Children Check and proof of their right to work in Australia.
