Preschool Programme

Our preschool programme offers a foundation for life. Everything we do is designed to nurture a child's joy and love of learning, independence and self-motivation, confidence, respect and creativity. The first two years prepare your child for meaningful, holistic exploration of key learning areas - practical life, sensorial, language, music, mathematics, science and cultural topics. The final year is the culmination of these two years - where the concepts and skills they have learned truly blossom and a 'love of learning' becomes a strong and enduring part of who they are.

The Montessori Classroom

The Montessori classroom is the ideal environment for young enquiring minds to develop their problem solving abilities, visualise abstract ideas and have lots of fun all at the same time. Children love using the interactive Montessori materials to explore interesting and important concepts. Our classrooms are warm, inviting, peaceful places carefully prepared to stimulate and inspire our children and support their natural development.

The outdoor environment is a vital part of every child's learning. Our outdoor classrooms feature native and flowering plants, alongside a central vegetable garden. Children have the privilege of exploring outdoor spaces throughout the changing seasons, fostering a deeper bond with the natural world.

We have two preschool classrooms (Koru and Kowhai) with children aged under six years. The school day is from 8.30am to 1pm, 3pm or 5pm each day. We follow the primary school terms with four terms each year and an extended break in Summer. We offer a school holiday programme during the short term breaks and for the last three weeks of the summer break. We also offer extended hours until 5pm for enrolled children. This is available for the full school year, including the holiday programme.
