Heathcote Valley Montessori Preschool

Laura the Centre Manager is amazing at accommodating different whanau's needs and the flexibility with hours is rare in many other preschool environments. I am so grateful to HVP for how simple they made things when I got a new job and had to change my hours. The teachers are lovely and all make an effort to get to know my child, it is a big preschool but the team manage it well and the food provided by Melissa their chef is great and she is so kind with my child too!

We have nothing but good things to say about Heathcote Valley Preschool - our pēpi loves it, is always excited to be there and just has such genuinely fulfilling days. The kaiako are incredible and we couldn't think of kinder, more caring or invested people to be looking after our daughter. They say that these days your village is often the one that you pay for and we are so happy to have the opportunity to be part of this one.

As soon as I visited Heathcote Valley Montessori, I know that we made the right decision. The caring and knowledgeable staff really helped with advice and getting settled in, which is especially helpful as a first time parent. Tamariki get to socialise and enjoy play while picking up new skills with fun games and activities. I was excited seeing the learning plans that get shared with us via the Educa app. You get to track the progress of your child with shared photos and stories. This was wonderful as we can carry on teaching things at home, as per learning plans. The food served daily is so delicious. Seeing our girl happy exploring freely or sitting with other children, having Kai brings us utter joy. Highly recommend!
