Our next Playgroup and Preschool Open Day is Saturday 31st October. More details here.

Playgroup 0-3 years

Our toddler and caregiver programme provides a nurturing Montessori environment for children under three years. It’s also a wonderful way for parents to learn about Montessori and connect with others in the Wā Ora community.

Our Playgroup caters for children aged from birth to three years.

The environment helps your child develop their movement and language, and gain experience with real-life activities that promote independence and confidence.

Sessions of up to 16 children are supported by our trained Montessori co-ordinator and currently run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 am–11.30 am. We now also offer a new Baby session for 0 to 1 year from 9am to 10:15am, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
