Wairarapa Montessori Preschool is a preschool on Lincoln Road in Masterton, following the Montessori approach to early learning. In a Montessori preschool, children choose their own activities from a set of hands-on materials and work at their own pace, with teachers guiding rather than directing. For Masterton families, that suits children who like to work things out for themselves and who do well with plenty of independence and a calm room. Lincoln Road is on the east side of town, so it is a practical choice for families living nearby.
