Learning Edge Montessori PreSchool

Welcome to Learning Edge Montessori PreSchool, conveniently located at Sunray Avenue in Auckland, New Zealand. Our establishment is not just a school, but a point of interest for families seeking a nurturing and encouraging learning environment for their children.

At Learning Edge, we pride ourselves on providing a calm and supportive atmosphere for our students. With small class sizes of no more than 20 children to 3 teachers, each child receives personalized attention and can work independently or cooperatively with others on their chosen tasks. We offer a comprehensive range of Montessori materials to foster learning, stimulate curiosity, and promote development across all curriculum areas.

Recognizing the unique interests of each child, we incorporate topic-based learning into our curriculum, which is evident throughout our center, both indoors and outdoors. We strongly believe in fostering parent partnerships and encourage involvement through social events, trips, cultural festivals, and children's portfolios.

Learning Edge is like a little pot of gold, providing a nurturing environment that focuses on the holistic development of each child. Our space is calm yet busy, with a well-thought-out curriculum and exceptional teachers and leadership. Families have been impressed with the positive impact on their children's lives, as they thrive in our preschool. Staying with us until the age of 6 has ensured a smooth and confident transition into primary school, thanks to the solid foundations we lay.

For the past four years, we have been privileged to have families as part of our Learning Edge community. Our caring team, led by Annette, creates a peaceful and happy learning environment where children flourish. They learn to take charge, discover, explore, and challenge themselves, providing the best possible start to their educational journey. We wholeheartedly recommend Learning Edge to any family seeking a quality preschool experience.

If you want to give your child the best start in life, Learning Edge Montessori Preschool is the ideal choice. As an owner-operated institution, we are licensed for 20 children per session and have been serving the West Auckland area for almost 20 years. Our dedicated team of fully qualified and registered Montessori and Early Childhood teachers shares a passionate belief in Montessori philosophy and practices.

The Montessori Method, developed by Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori, is the foundation of our approach. It emphasizes independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child's natural, psychological, physical, and social development. We believe that every child can reach their greatest potential through this educational approach.

Some defining principles of Montessori include child choice of activity within a range of options, uninterrupted blocks of work time, a constructivist or discovery model of learning, specialized self-correcting materials, freedom of movement, the use of real tools and crockery, responsibility for maintaining a beautiful environment, indoor-outdoor flow, and guidance from Montessori-trained teachers.

Due to limited spaces, we recommend filling out an enrollment form and submitting it via email or post to secure a spot for your child on our waiting list. Join the Learning Edge family and give your child the best start in life.
