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.
