Montessori School House

Montessori School House is based within a renovated villa to accommodate the Montessori philosophy. Our centre is a quality childcare centre in Hamilton East, close to the University of Waikato and Claudeland’s Showgrounds.

Montessori School House provides one of the very best pre-school programmes for children within the Waikato region. In our prepared indoor/outdoor Montessori environment, we strive to develop children’s love for learning, independence, confidence and respect for the wider world. We are a warm, loving community of parents, teachers and children working in partnership, sharing strong common values and goals.

At our centre every child’s individuality is respected and celebrated. We acknowledge and welcome all cultures at our pre-school.

With the balanced indoor and outdoor environment, children have the freedom to explore and develop their own potential. They are given the opportunities to extend their interest, develop reciprocal relationships, love of nature and satisfy their curiosity.

Our centre has the privilege of having a wide range of cultures, this builds upon children’s knowledge of other cultures than their own and develops respect and love for the diversity and differences.

We are passionate about providing a quality programme that reflects the philosophy of Maria Montessori. Our aim is to prepare the environment in order to develop children’s independence and a love for learning. We respect the individual strengths and interests of each child and plan to support them further with this learning.

Our mission is to provide a stimulating early care and education experience which promotes the Montessori philosophy. This in turn, instills in children a belief that they can accomplish anything that they strive for, now and in the future.
