Welcome to our Devonport pre-school.
Nestled between Devonport and Belmont, Acorn Montessori Children’s House preschool strives to offer your child the highest quality early childhood education underpinned by Montessori methods and philosophy and by Te Whariki, New Zealand’s early childhood education curriculum. We believe that working in partnership with families brings about the best outcomes for children.
Inside the children’s house you will find a carefully prepared and well-resourced learning environment which includes specialised Montessori maths and language resources that gradually build the foundations for a successful citizen in a literate society.
Our large fully grassed outdoor area provides plenty of room for the development of gross motor skills and our vegetable and flower gardens are proudly and enthusiastically tended by our budding gardeners. Helping to care for the quail and finches in the aviary is always a popular task and helps to foster a sense of care and responsibility for our world.
A high ratio of staff to children ensures each child is carefully observed to ascertain their interests and level of development. The calm learning environment supports children in developing independence and concentration, while at the same time there is always plenty of movement and the gentle hum of conversation.
We warmly invite you to come and view our unique centre and talk to our staff. We welcome children aged 2 1/2 to 6 years old. Please contact us to arrange a time to visit.
"We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself: this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit of the child". Maria Montessori.
