A little about us

Nestled among Arrowtown’s stunning natural backdrop of tree covered hills and clear running rivers are our unique Preschools which provide engaging spaces and wonderful learning environments.

To enable us to deliver high-quality age-specific programmes for children aged 12 months to 5 years we run two Preschools in tandem programmes.At Arrowtown Preschool the opportunities for learning that children experience are outstanding both within the Preschools and the community. Children are seen as capable learners who bring with them a huge range of knowledge, interests and experiences. Teachers build on these to empower confidence, build resilience and encourage responsibility. Respectful relationships with families, community and our environment are key.

Our programmes are inspired by aspects of the Reggio Emilia approach and Nature Based learning with a strong focus on movement and physical challenges.

Arrowtown Preschool is a non-profit organisation which guarantees any profit is invested back into learning opportunities for the children.

Durham St opened in 1992 and is well established and a perfect environment for the older children.

It is well known for its awesome location that provides a natural world for children to explore and spend time in. Durham St is close to the town centre and to the river reserve which means our children benefit from the historic resources in Arrowtown such as the Museum and the Library and they also get to enjoy a rural outlook and easy access to the outdoors. At Durham St there is an extensive art and craft focus with a vast use of natural resources resulting in some amazing creations. The Durham St children are often seen within the Arrowtown community; we have a long standing involvement with the annual Arrowtown Autumn Festival and our unique Explorers programme sees our oldest children out exploring the river reserve areas every Friday morning all year round.
