A Boutique Learning Experience

Hi, welcome to Kohimarama Private Preschool. An exclusive early learning environment where progressive education meets exceptional care — cultivating confident, curious thinkers from the very beginning.

Brief History & Philosophy

Established in 2004 as Auckland’s Kohimarama Montessori Preschool, our centre has a proud heritage of child-led learning. Under new ownership in 2025, we continue to provide outstanding early childhood education – now with a fresh, modern approach that embraces the best of play-based and inquiry learning.

Current Philosophy

Our program is guided by Te Whāriki (NZ’s ECE curriculum) – we believe in empowering children to explore, create, and build confidence at their own pace.

Qualified, Caring Teachers

At the heart of our preschool is a small, close-knit teaching team that have been personally hand-picked for their passion, expertise, and commitment to nurturing the whole child.

Program Highlights

Our day is filled with free play, group time, music and outdoor exploration. We follow a regular routine (morning circle, kai/meal times, nap/rest, etc.) that provides children security while offering variety and fun learning experiences.

  • Play-Based, Inquiry Learning approach
  • Focus on key skills: confidence, independence, social skills, creativity
  • Outdoor play and nature exploration every day
  • Preparation for school
