ŌTAKI MONTESSORI PRE-SCHOOL
Sowing the seeds to enable our community to flourish
Take care of our children. Take care of what they hear. Take care of what they see. For how the children grow, so will the shape of Aotearoa.”
Dame Whina Cooper
NAU MAI, HAERE MAI,
WELCOME TO ŌTAKI MONTESSORI PRE-SCHOOL
Ōtaki Montessori is inspired by the philosophy, principles and practices of Maria Montessori and Te Whāriki, the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum.
Ōtaki Montessori is a place where tamariki are the center of all we do. It is our privilege, in partnership with whānau and the community, to nurture tamariki with their learning and development. We encourage holistic interactions for every learner through a Montessori lens.
Our community of learners range in age from 2 years to 6 years of age. We are set within the heart of Haruātai Park with access to native bush which our tamariki frequently enjoy.
