The Montessori Philosophy

Key aspects of the Montessori Philosophy we practice in our childcare

What is the Montessori Philosophy?

The Montessori approach emphasizes hands-on learning, allowing children to develop at their own pace and explore their own interests.

Why Choose The Children's Corner Childcare Centre

Everything we do is in answer to one very simple question: “Whats in the best interests of your child?”

Our team work hard to ensure that our children feel safe, secure, valued, respected and listened to as a foundation for them to grow as happy, engaged and independent learners.

Our centre is based on Te Whāriki, the New Zealand national curriculum for early childhood. This ensures that your child has access to a wide range of learning opportunities to support them to grow in mind, body and spirit.
