Montana Early Learning Centre | Te Whare Kōhungahunga o Montana
What’s special about us:
A Culture of Aroha and Respect: At Montana, our dedicated team of teachers cultivate a strong culture of aroha (love) and respect. We cherish warm, communicative relationships with each other, the children, and their parents and whānau, creating a home away from home for all. Respectful relationships are the foundation of everything we do at Montana.
Exceptional Teacher-Child Ratios: We pride ourselves on high teacher/child ratios that are well above government requirements, which allow us plenty of time to get to know each child and their whānau. This enables us to engage in meaningful interactions that support their interests, learning and development.
Celebrating Diversity: We honour the unique bicultural heritage of Aotearoa and embrace the richness of our multicultural community. Our families come from nearly 20 different countries and cultures. Our teachers respect, acknowledge, and celebrate this diversity, modelling love, kindness, and respect in their interactions.
University Partnerships: As part of the University, we enjoy access to the beautiful grounds and gardens surrounding us. We often take the tamariki on walks around campus, visiting libraries, exhibitions, and nearby parks. Parents who work on campus appreciate our visits, sharing their knowledge and facilities with our tamariki.
Joyful Learning Environment: Our days at Montana are filled with laughter, adventures, and plenty of fun!
