Little Einsteins Montessori

Welcome to Little Einsteins Montessori, located at 1 MacDonald Street in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand. Our institution is not just a school, but a point of interest for families seeking a unique and child-centered educational experience.

At Little Einsteins Montessori, we believe that the children are the central focus in the classroom, not the teachers. Following the Montessori method, our dedicated Montessori directresses observe and understand the individual needs of each child. Our hands-on, child-sized Montessori materials are carefully designed to directly and indirectly educate and empower each child.

Our classroom is a carefully prepared environment that provides a calm and peaceful space for children to work and learn. We understand that every child learns differently, and our skilled teachers are trained to observe and cater to each child's sensitive periods and developmental needs. We plan forward for each individual child, ensuring they receive the support and guidance they require.

One unique aspect of the Montessori method is the inbuilt control of error in every exercise. This allows children to not only recognize their mistakes but also figure out the correct way to complete the task. By teaching themselves, children feel a sense of pride and excitement, often repeating the exercise to further enhance their understanding.

Working with Montessori materials enhances children's natural curiosity, increases their independence, and boosts their confidence. Children have the freedom to work on the floor, at a table, independently, with a teacher or friend, or in a group. Peer tutoring and mentoring occur naturally in our Montessori environment, empowering children and building their self-esteem as they understand their own abilities, skills, and strengths.

We also encourage families to participate in Whanau Time between 8.30 and 9am, where they can engage in activities with their children and connect with other families. It's a wonderful opportunity to be involved in your child's learning journey and foster a sense of community.

At Little Einsteins Montessori, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where your child can thrive. Join us in creating a foundation for lifelong learning and development. Contact us at admin@littleeinsteins.co.nz or visit us at 1 MacDonald Street in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand.
