Montessori-at-Otari is a not-for-profit early childhood centre offering a high quality and affordable Montessori education to children aged 0 – 3 (Playgroup) and 3 – 6 (Preschool).
Our Playgroup is located on the grounds of Cardinal McKeefry School, 66 Albermarle Road, Wilton, Wellington 6012. Sessions run on Tuesdays and Thursdays, between 8.45 am and 11.45 am.
Montessori at Otari Preschool is located on the grounds of Otari School, set amongst the beautiful natural environment of Otari Bush.
We have carefully designed our classrooms and facilities specifically for Montessori teaching methods. The use of natural materials creates warmth and comfort for our children and teachers. We use eco soap and natural cleaning products to minimise our impact on the environment.
Our outdoor playground provides a great environment for children to explore nature and develop gross motor skills.
Values provide the basis for decision-making and reflect the special nature of the Montessori-at-Otari, its teaching staff, children and wider community. Our values guide our Preschool. They support our decisions, lead our conduct and reflect the special nature of Montessori at ōtari Preschool.
Our values are:
Akoranga: We promote independence, curiosity and creativity, in a Montessori prepared environment that allows individual freedom balanced with responsibility.
Kaitiakitanga: We support, nurture, protect and respect each other, our community and the environment, now and for the future.
Manaakitanga: We show kindness, respect and aroha in everything we do, to enhance the mana of tamariki, kaiako and whānau, where everybody feels welcome and valued.
Whanaungatanga: We collectively foster positive and meaningful relationships.
Kotahitanga: We provide a safe and inclusive environment that is equitable for all and celebrates diversity, to build unity within our community.
