Ponsonby Montessori Kindergarten II

Welcome to Ponsonby Montessori Kindergarten II, located at 136 Richmond Road in Auckland, New Zealand. Since the 1970s, this establishment has been dedicated to early childhood education and care, catering to the needs of our community.

In 2022, as the owners of the licensed Ponsonby Montessori Kindergarten at 244 Richmond Road, we recognized the growing demand for enrolments. When we learned that the licensed centre at 136 Richmond Road was closing down, we saw an opportunity to expand our services. After negotiating a lease with the property owner, we embarked on an extensive refurbishment to create a nurturing and stimulating environment for children.

Our efforts paid off, and on 31 January 2023, we obtained a new license from the Ministry of Education. Just a few weeks later, on 20 February 2023, we proudly opened our doors to enrolled children at Ponsonby Montessori Kindergarten II.

Our vision for PMK II is to be a sister centre to PMK at 244 Richmond Road, offering the same high-quality education and care that many families have come to appreciate and value. We strive to create a warm and inclusive environment where children can thrive, learn, and develop essential life skills through the Montessori philosophy.

At PMK II, our experienced and dedicated team of educators are passionate about providing individualized attention and support to each child. We believe in fostering independence, creativity, and a love for learning through hands-on activities and child-led exploration. Our curriculum is designed to nurture the holistic development of each child, encompassing social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth.

We understand the importance of strong partnerships between educators, families, and the community. We actively encourage open communication and collaboration, ensuring that parents and caregivers are involved in their child's learning journey. We value the diverse backgrounds and cultures of our families, promoting a sense of belonging and respect for one another.

Conveniently located in the Grey Lynn neighborhood, our centre at 13 Richmond Road is easily accessible for families in the Auckland area. We invite you to contact us at (09) 360 0568 to schedule a visit or to learn more about our programs and enrolment process.

Join us at Ponsonby Montessori Kindergarten II, where we are committed to providing a nurturing and enriching early childhood education experience for your child.
