Vision Statement

To empower each individual to achieve a sense of belonging, develop independence and confidence, and to strengthen their journey by creating a natural love of learning, in a safe, secure, loving environment.

Why Montessori?

The Montessori classroom is an environment carefully prepared for the child which focuses on the individual and his/her needs. The child is always moving from what they know and feel comfortable and confidient with, learning and growing on their individual journey.

What We Do

Amberley Preschool is based on the Montessori philosophy of a "Prepared Environment" allowing children to work, move and develop freely. We help support children to become “equipped in their whole beings for the adventure of life, accustomed to the free exercise of their own will and judgment, illuminated by imagination and enthusiasm”. This was how Maria Montessori described her vision, and it’s a vision we share and is integrated with Te Whariki Early Childhood Curriculum.
