BestStart Montessori Mosgiel

Montessori Mosgiel provides a safe, loving and understanding environment where strong relationships and confidence building are at the heart of learning. We provide ‘real-life’ opportunities for children to practice and develop the skills necessary to be successful in life and active contributors to our community.

Our Vision - Learning for Independence

Relationships - BestStart Montessori Mosgiel has strong relationships with our families, working together to provide the best possible outcomes for every child. Our practices and environment reflect the aspirations and desires of our tamariki (children), whᾱnau and kaiako (teachers).

Community Focus - Our centre is the only Montessori centre in the Taieri area, we hold true the values taught by Maria Montessori to extend and develop children’s knowledge and experiences of the world around them and encourage them to be active participants in the community. Children engage in a variety of excursions and community initiatives that help to develop their awareness of others.

Leading their learning – It is important to us that your child is confident and eager to learn, children lead their own learning journey at their own pace, with the support and guidance of our teachers. Tamariki develop learning theories and become active contributor to the community. They are independent and responsible for themselves, each other and our environment. We cherish a planned Montessori environment and provide the tools to inspire tamariki, who actively engage with the work available to them - “The mind remembers what the hand does”.

Inclusive – We make sure that our learning environment provides equal opportunities for all children regardless of their ability or culture. Our teachers think outside the square and adapt to suit the needs of all children.

We have wonderful nurturing, qualified staff who do what they love!
