Fundamentals Preschool & Nursery Merivale

Welcome to Fundamentals Preschool & Nursery Merivale!

Located in Christchurch, on Innes Road, our establishment is a point of interest and a school, providing a nurturing and enriching environment for children. At Fundamentals, we believe in fostering a challenging and fun atmosphere that encourages children to think, act, and succeed in mind, body, and spirit, enabling them to become confident, independent lifelong learners.

Both our Preschools, Marshland and Merivale, offer a home away from home for your child. Our Merivale location can be reached at 03 355 1522 or via email at Merivale@fundamentals.co.nz. With highly skilled and trained teachers, we provide an onsite Gym room equipped with a wide range of gymnastics equipment. Our philosophy empowers your child to be in control of their own learning journey.

At Fundamentals, we value our families and community. We prioritize strengthening relationships through effective parent and Whanau communication, active participation in Communities of Learning, and establishing ongoing connections with local schools. We firmly believe that learning should be based on love, security, and fun! Our aim is to provide the building blocks for success in learning, creating habits of the children's mind that inspire them to want and need to learn all the time.

Our spacious indoor and outdoor areas offer a variety of programs that not only provide fun but, more importantly, stimulate and develop learning skills. We invite you to visit Fundamentals today to discover how we can help your child stay fit, balanced, and happy.

While enrolled at Fundamentals Preschool, your child will experience an environment that is fun, emphasizes the importance of teamwork, and promotes respect for oneself, others, and the environment. Our teachers are highly valued and provided with the necessary support and tools to integrate high-quality practices. They are committed to ongoing learning that reflects the Standards of the Teaching Profession, The Code of Professional Practice, and Te Whariki 2017 (The New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum).

We are proud to offer the Ministry of Education's 20 hours ECE to all children aged 3-6 years old, demonstrating our commitment to providing accessible and quality education.

Join us at Fundamentals Preschool & Nursery Merivale, where we prioritize holistic development, foster a love for learning, and create a strong foundation for your child's future.
