Waikanae Montessori Preschool

“We are absolutely thrilled with the three years our daughter spent at Waikanae Montessori. The entire team is amazing and took such wonderful care of her throughout her time there. She has gained so much confidence, thanks to the kind, attentive, and incredibly supportive teachers. They are so knowledgeable and run a fantastic programme. She has developed strong literacy, maths and social and emotional skills, preparing her so well for school. The team is dedicated to each student's learning and wellbeing. They look out for every child, supporting them through transitions and routines in an environment which is calm, consistent and predictable. The physical space is great, especially the outdoor area! The only true downfall was having to leave! I would highly recommend Waikanae Montessori to any family looking for high-quality early childhood education for their child.”

“I cannot rave enough about Waikanae Montessori, all the staff are amazing attentive and so easy to talk to, the environment is calm, clean and comforting. My daughter was very much at home when she was at Waikanae Montessori she flew through toilet training, colours, counting, washing her hands, packing her bag and doing things herself these are all little things that the teaches taught daily. I had not a single issue in the 2years my daughter attended and to be honest I wanted her to stay there forever but she was too ready for school which of course was thanks to the structure, learning and the great environment that Waikanae Montessori has to offer.”

“The entire team at Waikanae Montessori are incredible. Hugely supportive, caring and attentive. We saw big positive outcomes with our boy from the environment and learning in preparation for school. Everyone raves about this place and it’s evident how happy the children are. Highly recommend for anyone wanting their pre-schooler to gain confidence, knowledge and to thrive!”

“Our son went to Montessori for 2 years. It was lovely to drop him off at a place that he enjoyed and we, his parents, knew he was going to have a fun and productive day. The staff always welcomed the tamariki with open arms and were professional in every way. His time there prepared him for school so thoroughly. We were so lucky to have been a part of this community.”

“Our children have attended other kindergartens and preschools overseas and locally, and Waikanae Monte is by far the best we have experienced. The teachers are brilliantly organised, professional, and very attentive and observant of each child's individual needs and interests. Our children have grown so much in confidence and independence. We are extremely lucky to have such a high quality preschool here.”
