Quality early childhood has always been the heart of my drive. Starting Abberley Park Montessori Preschool in 1988, being one of the first early childhood centres in Christchurch where I lived in the back bedroom, taught and managed. With a rural upbringing and a Montessori/ECE Degree has lead to a desire to provide small quality centres in rural areas for rural children. Providing beautiful small environments and amazing caring teachers is the key to Little Oaks Preschools success.
