We are presently licensed for 27 children between the ages of 2 and 6. We are located near the Riccarton Racecourse and the building underwent some major renovations over the last four years, to provide larger open plan space. Our programme comprises a blend of both the Montessori Method of Education and the Early Childhood curriculum Te Whāriki. The Montessori Teaching method is adopted and is modified to the needs of the young kiwi child. We have a low child-to-teacher ratio and our teachers are all registered. Our teachers are experienced and are 100% qualified in early childhood education. The centre manager is fully qualified in Montessori education and two of our teachers are in training. We aim to promote an environment that is whanau focused and parents are encouraged to contribute to the programme. We have an open door policy and parents are welcome to drop in any time. There is ongoing consultation with parents about what is best for their child and we support children’s independence. We celebrate diversity and all cultures are valued and respected. We are here to help parents in nurturing, caring and educating their children. https://www.riccartonparkmontessori.co.nz/enrolment daily 0.75 2026-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a713c92914e6bad7721b485/1517448418974-X4C60LUG4FTWL1WAPDJS/Enrolment-Banner.jpg Enrolment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a713c92914e6bad7721b485/1517449693449-RNEYRAAG0UF2B3YJ0V3E/Enrolment-image-2.jpg Enrolment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a713c92914e6bad7721b485/1517449693449-RNEYRAAG0UF2B3YJ0V3E/Enrolment-image-2.jpg Enrolment - Fees For those children not entitled to the free early childhood hours, the following rates apply: $24.00 per session (3 hours) / $8.00 per hour $48.00 for 6 hours (extended day) (All prices are GST inclusive) As of 1st July 2007, early childhood education will be available for three and four year olds for up to six hours per child per day, and up to a maximum of 20 hours per child per week. As the Ministry of Education will not be providing us with the level of fees we are now charging, we are reluctantly compelled to charge an ‘optional charge’. You will be required to sign an agreement to pay us this charge. The optional charge has now been set at $1.00 per hour per child. This charge is subject to review from time to time. You are required to pick your child up at the end of the session/extended day, at the scheduled time. You will incur a late fee of $1 per minute, if you are earlier/later than 5 minutes from drop off/pick-up time. https://www.riccartonparkmontessori.co.nz/contact daily 0.75 2018-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a713c92914e6bad7721b485/1517450196084-KBVKXY8EK9GXXG51642L/Contact-Banner.jpg Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a713c92914e6bad7721b485/1518748539835-32153TVRTT1P6XQ8O2K2/contact-image2.jpg Contact https://www.riccartonparkmontessori.co.nz/philosophy daily 0.75 2018-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a713c92914e6bad7721b485/1517441027208-D3WR3V0I76X1YWGSMM95/home-page-banner-image.jpg Philosophy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a713c92914e6bad7721b485/1517441356601-YSQDVDLSDXEEUUN1T7HF/Philosophy-Banner.jpg Philosophy
