Halswell Quarry Preschool

Welcome to Halswell Quarry Preschool, an early learning centre like no other. Located in Christchurch, New Zealand, our establishment is proudly owner/operated and dedicated to providing the very best environment for your child to flourish.

At Halswell Quarry Preschool, we believe in inspiring curiosity, fostering creativity, and supporting discovery. Our centre and teachers have created a variety of sensory-rich experience spaces to engage and stimulate your child's learning. From the moment you step foot in our preschool, you'll notice that it's not your average childcare facility.

Our warm and friendly staff will welcome you to a sensory-rich home-away-from-home, designed with the elements that make growing up in New Zealand special. Central to our philosophy is the natural environment, which is integrated into all aspects of our curriculum. From our unique central rainforest, offering a peaceful oasis for rest and discovery, to our spacious learning rooms and outdoor natural play areas, your child will be surrounded by real grass, trees, and opportunities for imaginative play.

Our aim is to provide as many real-life experiences as possible. We regularly invite spontaneous visitors to the preschool and organize exciting field trips to nearby parks and farmland. Additionally, we offer a range of extra-curricular experiences including sports programs, outdoor cooking, music and dance, yoga and mindfulness, and a transition to school program.

To keep you connected with your child's learning journey, we provide online daily reflections that document their experiences through photos and narrative. We also plan Performance Evenings, a celebration of each term, where you and your family members can view your child's learning and participate in an evening of fun.

At Halswell Quarry Preschool, we strive to create a nurturing and stimulating environment that supports your child's growth and development. Come and join us on this exciting journey of learning and discovery.
