Kindergarten in Wellington

“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.”

“Lovely little daycare. Smaller and more intimate, but still large enough for my son to get plenty of exposure to different things. I feel fully comfortable leaving my son in their care. He started at 2 years old and loves it. They were amazing getting him started with a week integration and taking the time and care to make sure he was comfortable. Now he has gained so much confidence, he calls out his friends by name, is getting his colours and shapes and is developing such an amazing personality. They include me in regular updates, so I feel like I am still very much part of it all.”

“What a lovely preschool and nursery with amazing teachers and staff!”

“Eye catching sign at the entrance”

“We have had our daughter at Little School Nursery for four months. We are incredibly grateful for the teachers who are professional, nurturing and dedicated to providing the best educational experience in a warm, welcoming, well equipped environment.”

“Fantastic, community spirited, learning environment for our tamariki. Awesome qualified teacher to child ratios which means I go to work and don't worry about my babies. It's small enough that our kids know the names of all the other kids and teachers there so they feel part of a larger family. Management are always available and always ask for parents to feedback on their ideas or plans. They are also really invested in PD for the staff so willing to keep learning and develop skills to support our tamariki.”

“Peninsula Early Learning has been such a supportive environment for both my daughter and our whānau. The kaiako are all incredible teachers and so kind. They always have the child’s interest at the forefront of decisions. The ratios are great and the weekly nature walk programme and quarterly trips exceeded my expectations. My daughter absolutely loves being able to explore the local beaches or community on these trips. We have loved being part of the preschool community and feel very lucky to have found this beautiful space for our tamariki.”

“Nice people looking after your kids.”

“Lovely teachers, supportive and healthy environment, we could have not asked for more!”

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

“I saw about 8 early childhood centres before I found this one, and it was a clear winner. I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of teachers - they have such positive attitudes, with a huge love for learning that they share with everyone around them (including me). They talk to children rather than at them. My 20 month old loves it there.”

“Our family loves Wilton Playcentre! The kids have such a great sense of belonging. As a parent, I get massive emotional support and have made friends for life. I work 4 days a week and really look forward to my playcentre day where we get to hang out with our friends and do cool stuff.”

“My kids are thriving here. I see that they are enjoying playing with other kids and they are very at ease with all the teachers. I highly recommebd this centre”

“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.”

“Lovely school with lovely teachers & management”

“Awesome place to go with your little ones. Playcentre has great indoor and outdoor space where kids can do everything what you can imagine. Also it's amazing to be part of the parent's group - everyone are so nice and supportive. Our favourite part is Friday's bush sessions ❤”

“I've sent both of my boys here and they've absolutely thrived! Lovely teachers, beautiful environment. Couldn't have asked for better!!”

“The best centre we've ever come across. There's never a doubt in our mind about the care our child is receiving. The staff are excellent, outdoor facilities are amazing, and smaller ratios. Very grateful to have found a spot here.”

“Amazing centre, such a lovely atmosphere for children!”

“Our tamariki and whānau feel at home at our centre. The staff are friendly, caring and approachable and our tamariki can't wait to go to kura!”

“Whitireia Child Care is an awesome centre, the children are free to be themselves. The kaimahi are always communicating with us via Storypark which has instant notification. My girl loves it and so do we as a whānau.”
