A Progressive, Purposeful Programme for Today’s Learners
The wider programme at our boutique preschool is grounded in a progressive approach to early childhood education — one that recognises the world our children are growing into, and the kinds of skills, dispositions, and support they need to truly thrive.
We believe that learning in the early years should be rich, meaningful, and responsive. Our programme is thoughtfully designed to nurture creativity, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and a strong sense of identity and belonging. Through open-ended play, project work, real-life experiences, and intentional teaching moments, we create space for tamariki to explore their ideas, solve problems, and make sense of the world in their own unique way.
We understand that learners today need more than just the basics — they need resilience, adaptability, curiosity, and confidence. Our teachers are skilled in creating an environment that is both nurturing and stimulating, where each child feels empowered to take the lead in their learning while being gently guided and supported.
Whether it’s gardening, storytelling, collaborative art, or moments of quiet reflection, every part of our day is designed with care, intention, and a deep understanding of what it means to be a learner in today’s world.
Our Enrichment Programme – Inspired Learning for Curious Minds
For tamariki aged 3.5 years and over, our Enrichment Programme offers a beautifully structured two-hour session each day that forms an integral part of our learning rhythm. Led by our specially trained Montessori teacher — who completed her training in London — the programme provides a calm, purposeful environment where children are encouraged to explore, think critically, and grow in independence.
Beginning at lunchtime, the session starts with an emphasis on grace and courtesy, setting a respectful and mindful tone that flows through the rest of the experience. Using authentic, hand-crafted Montessori materials, the programme follows each child’s individual learning journey — supporting foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, practical life, and sensorial exploration.
This focused, intentional time offers our older learners the opportunity to engage in deeper learning, while still being supported in a warm, nurturing setting. The Enrichment Programme is designed to gently extend and enrich the child’s experience, bridging the transition to school while remaining grounded in the joy of discovery and the values of respect, calm, and connection.
