Riverhead Montessori Preschool Learning Centre

General information

At Riverhead Montessori we have two classrooms; Tui's Nest and Whare Keas.

Tui's Nest: This little classroom is for our beginning Montessorians aged from 18 months - 3 years. We offer a gentle introduction to Montessori and have been independently identified by teacher assessors and training facilitators as one of the best preschools in NZ. The University of Auckland has studied our curriculum and model to identify why and how our teachers have achieved the results attained, especially with some of our special needs children in Tui's Nest.
Our Tui's Nest Teachers delight in what they do every day and it shows in this special classroom where calm and fun co-exist harmoniously. Our Tui's Nest teachers have been chosen for their strong specialist skills in working with this age group. They will work closely with you to ensure the transition from home to preschool is a positive experience for both parent and child.

Whare Keas: Our programme for our 3-6 year olds follows the child's individual developmental needs in a holistic manner; physical, emotional and academic. The children work through practical life, sensorial, geography, the sciences, arts, language, literacy and numeracy. Grace and courtesy, care of self, others and the environment. We offer a full indoor/outdoor programme where children are free to follow their interests.
Our Whare Keas Teachers have been handpicked for their outstanding commitment and exceptional approach to early education along with their genuine 'love for the child'. They will work closely with you to ensure your child is thriving at Riverhead Montessori and become an important part of your child's and your family's life as they help to guide your precious little one towards life at Primary School.
