At All About Children – Montessori, happiness and independence are at the heart of everything we do. We intentionally encourage self-help skills, nurture empathy for others and celebrate music and culture as part of everyday learning. Communication is valued and strengthened, with literacy and numeracy meaningfully woven through our teaching practice. This is a place where your child’s individuality is truly nurtured, and where their ambitions, growth and achievements are recognised and celebrated.
Our Philosophy
Our centre philosophy is grounded in the value of respect. We believe respect places the child at the centre of all our interactions, decision making and daily rituals. We celebrate each other’s unique cultural values and beliefs by embracing the diversity within our centre whānau and wider community. Through tuakana-teina relationships, we empower whānau and kaiako to develop a shared vision for the learning and teaching of all our tamariki. As we journey together, we give each other the gift of time, strengthening our connections and collective growth.
The Montessori Framework
The Montessori Framework is one that nurtures the whole child, and encourages children to have ownership of what they are learning and master skills at their own pace. A Montessori classroom is flexible enough to allow children who prefer to spend a long time on quiet tasks to flourish alongside children who prefer to engage for a shorter time on more boisterous tasks.
Parent Feedback
We will dearly miss the wonderful staff and the rest of the children. Thank you again for assisting my little one (or not so little anymore should I say!) overcome some challenges, create a safe learning environment, and give an overall great start in my child’s experience to their journey of learning, as well as a positive and reassuring experience for me and my family being involved in a preschool for the first time. We have made many friends and lovely memories here.
It is a wonderful preschool for children. The environment is clean, safe, and very welcoming for young kids. The teachers are caring, supportive, and genuinely attentive to each child’s needs. They do a great job of keeping children engaged through different learning activities while also helping them develop important life skills and independence from an early age. The preschool is very clean and well-maintained, creating a healthy and comfortable atmosphere for children to learn and grow. I highly recommend it for any parents looking for a nurturing and supportive preschool for their little ones.
This is an amazing daycare centre. My daughter joined here and received amazing support and care from the staff from day one. They provide great meal for the kids and involve them in the process. Their Montessori leanings are great too. My daughter has shown us big change since she started to attend. The facility is clean and has good play area which my daughter enjoys a lot. Big thanks to the team of Learning Bee Papanui. Keep up your amazing work
