Templeton Nursery and Preschool is a family-owned centre at 31 Kirk Road in Templeton, Christchurch. Owners Racheal and Glenn Judson bought it, along with the Estuary Road preschool, in April 2021. The centre calls itself a preschool with a heart and describes itself as a home away from home. It offers a nursery for infants and toddlers and a preschool, and says both meet Ministry of Education standards.
Infants and toddlers each have a primary caregiver. The centre keeps numbers small, so teachers can work one-to-one, and children choose what they want to learn about in maths, literacy, self-help and social skills, following Te Whāriki. The grounds are naturally landscaped, with covered decks linking the nursery and preschool play areas. Visits are welcome by arrangement. Nearby, Kidsfirst Kindergartens Templeton is 0.2 km away and rated 5.0 from four reviews on Open Locally. It suits families in Templeton who want a small, relationship-focused centre.
