Nau Mai and welcome to St Johns Montessori. We are privileged to be located within the parklands and sports grounds of Colin Maiden Park. Our mountain, Maungarei (Mt Wellington), and our river, the Tāmaki river also define our sense of place.
Our centre is a purpose-built Montessori early learning environment, catering for the development, education needs and best interests of young tamariki (children) from 0 to 6 years. We are highly committed to providing quality Montessori early childhood education and care.
Inspired by our Song:
Te Aroha (Love)
Te Whakapono (Faith)
Me te Rangimarie (Peace)
Tātou, Tātou e
Our rooms have been named:
Te Rima Aroha - for the nido (babies)
Te Rima Whakapono - for the toddlers
Te Rima Rangimarie - for the two and a half to six year olds
We believe that at St Johns we present a prepared environment where our kaiarahi (guide) offer love to all our whanau and community. They guide and support our tamariki having faith and trust in their practical ability to develop and practise the skills, dispositions and knowledge that they need. Our kaiarahi provide a peaceful space for tamariki to work comfortably and purposefully.
