About Montessori

Little Earth children learn skills such as caring for the classroom, managing zips and buttons, pouring drinks and setting the table to give them greater independence. These are activities we do at home, so children love learning them. They also refine children's fine and gross motor skills preparing them for later activities such as holding a pencil.

We introduce children to the many cultures and religions of the world and encourage respect and understanding of the many communities that make up our planet. Children learn to take care of animals, plants and the environment in general. They become independent, respectful and inquisitive individuals.

Inclusion is a big part of any Little Earth community, we involve whanau, they are a part of us and integral to our success. That openness promotes the connection between us that the children understand, which leads to fantastic outcomes.

Regardless of whether your child moves on to a Montessori primary school or not, the attendance of your child at a Little Earth preschool will have an enduring positive influence on your child, on both a social and intellectual level, for the rest of their lives.
