Courtyard Montessori Preschool

Welcome to Courtyard Montessori Preschool, located at 99a Somerfield Street in Somerfield, Christchurch. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to providing a unique and enriching learning experience for children and families in our community.

At Courtyard Montessori Preschool, we prioritize building strong relationships between our dedicated kaiako (teachers), tamariki (children), whanau (family), and the wider community. We believe that by fostering these connections, we can create a supportive and nurturing environment for every child.

Our Montessori approach sets us apart, as we understand and embrace the sensitive years of a child's development. During this time, children have a remarkable ability to absorb information from their surroundings. With our enriched environment and specially designed curriculum, we aim to optimize their learning potential.

Within our carefully prepared environment, children are given the freedom to explore and learn at their own pace. We provide attractive materials and curriculum areas focused on Practical Life, Sensorial, Maths, Language, Environmental studies, and Art. By offering this comprehensive range of activities, we encourage holistic development across all areas of learning.

One of the most rewarding aspects of our preschool is witnessing the growth and development of our tamariki. We have seen children develop emotional resilience, confidence in themselves, and leadership skills. Our older children take pride in being role models and caring for their peers. It is a joy for us to witness these transformations and support their journey.

We are immensely grateful to our dedicated Courtyard Montessori teachers for their commitment to preparing our little ones for school and life. Their expertise and care have made a significant impact on the lives of our children and our families.

Since our establishment in 1982, Courtyard Montessori Preschool has remained true to the Montessori philosophy. We are proud to offer an authentic Montessori education to tamariki and whanau in Otautahi (Christchurch). Our diverse society, with its rich mix of cultures and ethnicities, is at the heart of our community, and we strive to provide an inclusive and culturally sensitive learning environment.

We welcome you to join our Courtyard Montessori family and experience the transformative power of Montessori education. Contact us today to learn more about our programs and how we can support your child's educational journey.
