Montessori

Dr. Maria Montessori recognised that the first six years of a child's life are the most important when the foundation of the child's personality is laid.

As a scientist she developed her education methods on observations of the children. Montessori aims to expose the child to as stimulating an environment as possible where they can learn through a process of self-discovery. The reward for the child is a broad preparation for life with a balance of academic skills with the development of personal and practical skills.

We apply Montessori principles in a New Zealand context. We also incorporate Te Whariki, New Zealand Early Childhood Education Curriculum into daily activities.
