Montessori STARS

Welcome to Montessori STARS, a premier educational institution located in St Albans, Christchurch, New Zealand. Our establishment is not only a point of interest but also a school that aims to provide excellence in early childhood education.

At Montessori STARS, we proudly uphold the philosophy of Maria Montessori, a renowned Italian physician. Her child-centered educational approach, based on scientific principles, forms the foundation of our teaching methods. We believe in fostering independence, creativity, and a love for learning in each child.

Our team of dedicated teachers, including Shaz, Laura, Aimee, Carolina, Sue, Sarah, and Rachael, are passionate about nurturing young minds and helping them reach their full potential. We understand the importance of building strong partnerships with families, and strive to share as much information as possible about your child's progress throughout the day. We firmly believe that collaboration between teachers and parents is essential in providing the best possible start for your child.

The Montessori STARS classroom is specifically designed to cater to children aged 2 to 6 years old. It is a stimulating environment where children can explore, discover, and engage in hands-on activities that promote their cognitive, social, and emotional development. We encourage children to take ownership of their learning and develop a sense of responsibility.

Imagine your child capturing snapshot images of everything they see, hear, and touch during their time at Montessori STARS. Our curriculum encourages a holistic approach to education, where children learn through their senses and actively participate in their own learning journey. We believe in fostering a love for learning that will last a lifetime.

In August, we have a particular focus on strengthening our social and emotional competencies. Social competencies encompass skills such as communication, empathy, and teamwork, while emotional competencies involve self-awareness, self-regulation, and resilience. By nurturing these competencies, we aim to equip our students with the essential skills they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.

We warmly invite you to join our Montessori STARS community, where we value your input and support. Together, we can provide your child with an exceptional educational experience that will lay the foundation for a successful future. Kia Ora and welcome to Montessori STARS!
