Educational organization in Wellington

“Clean campus with all the basic necessity needed. Strategic location with a killer view if you are at the upper floors.”

“We transferred my son from a daycare center to Capital City Preschool and the difference has been amazing. At CCP, the teachers are welcoming and warm, and my son looks forward to going every day—sometimes he doesn’t even want to leave! I especially appreciate the 1:7 teacher-student ratio, the personalized updates on his interests and strengths, and the support for his emotional development. Since starting at CCP, his speech has improved significantly. They offer extracurricular activities (my son looks forward to Playball on Fridays!) and community excursions, also celebrates different cultures and events. It feels like a small, nurturing community. The best preschool! I'm so glad we transferred my son to CCP.”

“I have been taking swimming lessons with Ben since September 2020. I was really scared of the water even though I love the beach and the idea of being able to swim. So I decided to take swimming lessons with Benoit and I am an adult swimmer. He is an excellent teacher when it comes to swimming, he listens to you and shows guidance according to your fitness, confidence and your ability. He has an efficient way of communicating and to teach swimming. I would highly recommend Ben from my experience. I can completely do all the breastroke, freestyle and backstyle now. And still taking lessons with him in order to improve and compete.”

“We are so happy we chose this caring, fun, happy, safe and stimulating preschool for our 2-year-old. He loves it and his eyes light up when he talks about it and about each of the dedicated, hardworking and talented kaiako / teachers. He has grown so much in his six months there - verbally, socially, in his motor skills, in his confidence and in his knowledge of himself and the world. There’s a warm, calm, friendly, family-like vibe that comes from being a small, not-for-profit preschool. Location in city-fringe western suburbs is hard to beat too - quiet and peaceful, and convenient as well. Can’t recommend it highly enough!”

“Very fun. Bridie Gray and her helpful assistance really equipped me with the fundamental acting skills I use to this day. Highly recommend especially if ur close and live near the karori area”

“I cannot overstate how fantastic Elyssa Vulpes’ teaching has been. After 10 years of trying and failing to teach myself the piano, I finally decided to get lessons. It really proved how a good teacher is so worth it. Elyssa tailored her lesson plan to fit my needs and goals (namely improvisation around chords). She always comes prepared for each lesson and can show why each drill/skill she teaches is important and how it connects to my goals. She is aware of the difficulties of being a beginner at an instrument and is able to create an environment so that you stay encouraged and motivated. Her expertise, preparation and support have been invaluable. If you are looking for a music teacher who will make you achieve your goals, look no further!”

“Working my way through IDDs great free content before I sink my teeth into the Exocad masterclass. Great content. Dr. Ahmad presents with clarity, humor, and contagious enthusiasm for his subject.”

“This was a formative experience for me. I went into it with an open mind as to what I could experience, but I didn't expect to achieve the depth of learning about myself, and why I am the way that I am. This was a safe, nurturing, guided journey that I am incredibly grateful for - and I can't wait for my next session. The post-session care helps you to fully orient your experience within your own context and adds a completely new dimension to this as a healing experience. I fully recommend Sharon and Dave to anyone seeking to learn more about themselves in a deeply profound, and safe, manner. Tina”

“Both our tamariki have been at BestStart Tawa, so we've been with the centre for over 7 years now. We absolutely love the teachers and staff who all show so much love and care for the tamariki and the whole whanua! The team do an amazing job, work together as a cohesive unit and are very adaptable. There are great resources for the tamariki and the food that is provided is such good quality and delicious. Everyone is so tamariki focuse, and there is a real emphasis on building relationships with the whole whanua. We've loved our time here and are so fortunate for the relationships built. Thank you so much!”

“I had such a great experience, highly recommend for beginners looking to learn how to fly. Exactly what you'd hope for. Highly recommend Wellington Aero Club! Thank you!”

“Our daughter goes here. We feel that it's a very supportive environment with a high teacher to child ratio where each childs needs and interests are treated individually. The environment (inside and outside) are beautiful and natural. A large villa space converted, with soft colours and a wood fire. Outside has mature trees with shade, lots of birds and a good space to explore. Fully recommend this kindy for any child!”

“A very good center with awesome support and wonderful teachers. The staff go above and beyond to provide a safe, caring, and fun environment. Highly recommended!”

“We are incredibly grateful to the amazing team at Best Start Rongotai for their warmth, care, and dedication in helping our daughter Zeraphina settle into the center. From day one, the teachers have been so understanding and supportive, making what can be a challenging transition so much easier for both parents and children. Their personalized approach, patience, and nurturing environment truly eased our minds, and it has been heartwarming to see how quickly Zeraphina has grown comfortable and happy in their care. We couldn’t be more thankful for the peace of mind they’ve given us as parents and the wonderful start they’re providing for our daughter.”

“I highly recommend Millie’s House Oxford Street. The teachers are friendly, all cultures are recognised and celebrated and it is evident that the kaiako really do care about the welfare and development of the children as individuals. We have loved being a part of the kindy community and will look back fondly on our time there as our son heads off to school. We feel that attending Millie’s House has aided our son immensely in his readiness for school as he has gained so much confidence in himself, especially in regards to his social interaction with others.”

“CMS will forever hold a special place in our family. This is a community of like minded parents and teachers working together to educate and nurture children. I have learnt a lot about Montessori as an educational and developmental philosophy which has benefited my parenting. The physical environment and resources at our school are beautiful, from the carefully landscaped gardens, edible gardens, playground, and nature based classroom materials with no screens. Caring for the environment is also a big part of the Montessori philosophy; with children seen as kaitiaki of their space. To enter a classroom seeing young children engaged, calm and excited to learn is a real joy. Our five year old has been there for his whole preschool journey and it has been a pleasure to see his confidence and sense of self grow. Thank you CMS.”

“Good teachers, warm welcome for us parents and Kayal. Very supportive environment in the room.”

“They are very warm and took the time to understand our son.”

“Not only dance classes but yoga, zumba and Pilates classes too”

“We love Shine! Teachers are loving and nurturing. Such a great place that offers structured play based learning which made our transition into school so seamless. Highly recommend.”

“Great pro shop. Good selection of equipment and really friendly”

“Very happy with the quality of care and education our daughter received at KinderCare Karori. 5 stars.”

“My child is always excited to come back to the centre. One day, she just act like a teacher to her little brother and asking us when he will come to school too. It tell us that she is happy at the child care.”

“I would like to say again what a wonderful place our twins visit every day. There is an ecological, harmless environment both inside the classroom and outside. We are delighted with the amazing variety of materials, toys, and pictures that are so interesting for children of their age. All of these promote the curiosity and imagination of our kids. They can touch, use, and play with everything, conducting different experiments with some of the items. I am amazed by the engaging activities offered to the children, such as painting with and without a paintbrush, dressing up, science experiments, Olympic games, and pretend play. For example, today you can be a caring mother for your doll, and tomorrow you might participate in a scientific experiment. One of the wonderful traditions of the center is visiting various public places where adults work, such as libraries and ambulance stations. These excursions are extremely exciting for the children, broadening their horizons and helping them understand how life around them is organized. I especially want to highlight the teachers, Gitika and Jaimee, to whom my children are very attached! I see their caring and attentive glances directed at our kids. I feel how these specialists, with great love for each child, manage and organize all activities, using their knowledge of child psychology at this age. I feel how they create an environment and activities that help develop each child’s abilities. These kind ladies carefully monitor the development of each child and sincerely rejoice in their successes. From time to time, we receive reports about our children's lives and achievements. These include wonderful photos of our beloved children during their activities, accompanied by warm words of joy, heartfelt admiration, support, and inspiration. It is incredibly touching that these letters are addressed to the child! This is a brilliant idea! We will save all the letters and read and reread them with our children! A big thank you to our administrators, Liz and Nakita, who notify us in advance and politely remind us so that we, the parents, don’t forget things in the daily rush. Our cook, Liz, does an incredible job preparing hot, delicious, and healthy breakfasts and lunches for the children, and we are very grateful to her for this! Thank you so much for your love and care for our children. This is the best place for them, truly a gem in the heart of our city!”
