Kumeu Montessori Preschool

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Kumeu Montessori Preschool. From the very beginning, the teachers made the transition into preschool life so easy for our son. I was very nervous as my 1.5 year old is such a mummies boy but Michaela our primary teacher helping us with this transition was so amazing with communication and suggestions along the way on best way to integrate this new routine into his life. Jo, Rosie and all of the teachers kindness and genuine care helped him settle in quickly and build so much confidence. The communication between staff is fantastic - you couldn’t ask for better teachers! I highly recommend Kumeu Montessori Preschool!”

“We absolutely love Kumeū Montessori Preschool! From the moment our daughter started, we’ve seen such incredible growth in her confidence, independence, and curiosity. The teachers are not only caring and nurturing, but also genuinely passionate about what they do. The Montessori approach they follow has helped our daughter thrive both socially and academically in such a natural and joyful way. The environment is calm, beautifully organized, and encourages the children to explore and learn at their own pace. It’s clear that the staff put so much thought into creating a space that feels safe, stimulating, and welcoming. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a wonderful preschool community. Thank you to the amazing team at Kumeū Montessori for giving our daughter the best possible start to her learning journey! We will miss you guys so so much. Thank you ❤️”

“The best preschool we could have ever hoped for! Kumeu Montessori has been such a huge part of our lives — our daughter started here when she was just shy of a year old, and now, as she prepares to head off to school, we’re feeling so grateful for every moment she’s spent in their care. Even after we moved 30 minutes away, we never once considered changing preschools — that’s how much she loves it, and how much we trust the amazing team here. The teachers are beyond incredible — warm, nurturing, and so genuinely invested. They feel more like extended family than just teachers. Our daughter has absolutely thrived — emotionally, socially, and intellectually — and that’s thanks to the beautiful, calm, and inspiring environment they’ve created. If you’re looking for a daycare or preschool where your child will be truly seen, loved, and supported, I can’t recommend Kumeu Montessori highly enough. It’s such a special place and will always hold a huge place in our hearts.”

“Kumeu Montessori has been an absolute gem for our son. The environment is calm, nurturing, and genuinely child-led—exactly what we were looking for. The teachers are warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. We’ve seen a huge leap in our son’s confidence, independence, and communication since he started. The Montessori philosophy is beautifully implemented here without feeling rigid, and the outdoor space is amazing—lots of room to explore and grow. Can’t recommend this place enough if you’re after a preschool that respects your child’s pace and personality.”

“Our daughter Eve goes to Kumeu Montessori and she absolutely loves it! The teachers are so kind, friendly and supportive, and the whole environment is fun, and perfect for the kids. We’ve seen her grow so much in confidence and independence since starting. We totally recommend them to any parents looking for a great preschool – it’s an awesome place! 5 stars!!!!”
