BestStart Montessori The Children’s House is a warm and welcoming Montessori Preschool in Henderson, West Auckland catering for children aged 2 to 6 years of age and offering both sessional and full day care and education.

The Montessori philosophy offers student centred lessons and activities where children are hands-on and active participants. Our Montessori teachers act as guides and consultants to students on a one-on-one basis and each child is assisted along his or her own learning path. Our well-resourced environment is supportive of this approach.

In the preschool we offer a beautiful spacious playground with many natural elements and lovely established trees.

We have two classrooms so that our programme can be tailored to meet the individual needs of children. Ruma Iti is our introductory classroom for 2 year olds and Ruma Nui classroom is for older children transitioning to continue with the 3-6 year old curriculum.

Our families benefit from excellent child to teacher ratios and a stable and passionate teaching team who bring a wealth of experience and knowledge.We offer 20 ECE hours and fees for additional hours are affordable and competitive.

kind words from our parents

Parent

Your teaching enriches children’s lives, helping them to stretch and grow towards their future” Thank you all for your day-to-day teaching, caring and presence, which has helped Heidi love learning.

Parent

Dear Children’s House teachers, we want to thank you for all your years of love, dedication and education for both girls Ocean and Nevada, as well as our whole family, including Pele and Me. You have been there for our families in so many ways. We will never forget your love, wisdom and blessings. We love you always.

Tim and Melody Ycay

We recently browsed his portfolio together and while doing so, Sebatian has been reminiscing about each photo and also sharing with us what he did and learned in the particular photo. We took time on the planet page and he sang the planet song many, many times with different sounds and finishing it off with "Pluto you are not invited" which cracked us up. He remembered how much he loves puzzles and so after browsing the portfolio he took a puzzle and played with it. It made me a bit emotional looking at his photos of how little he was when he started to learn to go toilet by himself, recognising colours and soon he will be going to primary school. I am forever grateful to all of you.

From Jing Meng and Bao Xin
