A family-owned Montessori preschool and nursery at 183 Brookside Road in Rolleston, Canterbury, for children from three months to six years. The centre uses the Montessori philosophy, with practical life experiences and the aim of helping children learn how to learn. Oral language, literacy and maths are given priority within a child-centred approach. The centre has a large outdoor area where children learn in nature, and messy play and creative activities are offered every day. Risk-taking is encouraged as a way to build resilience. Families keep up with their child's learning through the Storypark app. Parents describe the centre as inclusive, with friendly teachers and good outdoor areas, and one says their children are happy to go each day. The centre's values are doing the right thing when no one is watching, treating others positively, and bouncing back.
