MCH was the best welcoming our child could have had to New Zealand. Kind and active teachers that nurture kids' curiosity and help them create strong friendship bonds with their colleagues and staff. We felt this school provided us with the village we missed, being away from our families and friends. Highly recommend!

Montessori Children's House is an amazing place for children. It's incredibly welcoming and the teachers make every child feel valued. I once mentioned that I was teaching my son to do up his own five point carseat harness and I knew he had all the skills to do it, but he seemed to lack confidence. The next day after picking him up, he got into the car and proudly did up his own seatbelt! The staff had found a harness activity similar to his seatbelt and he had been practicing! This is just one example of how Montessori focus on the needs of every individual child.

As a parent, I liked that each child got one on one time with an adult every day. After the child turns five they get "5 year old time" which is more traditional (reading, writing, maths) education time each morning. My son stayed until he was five and a half and I was really impressed with what he was learning (he is especially interested in numbers). I am looking forward to when my youngest child is old enough to go to Montessori, I know she will thrive there.

Sue and her team are amazing, I could not recommend Montessori Children’s House more highly. My son loved every minute of his two years there - he has entered school well prepared with all the skills he needs to learn effectively and has developed a wonderful, curious mind and a thirst for knowledge. The environment is rich with learning opportunities and the staff are so wonderful and dedicated to their students. We really miss Montessori Children’s House now we have moved on, and feel so privileged to have been part of it.
