Welcome to Tōtara Hill Montessori

If your vision for your child's early years is...

*for them to be supported to learn empathy and care for others and the environment,

*for them to be cared for and develop strong relationships with nurturing adults,

*for them to be encouraged and supported in their natural development through milestones towards greater independence,

then Tōtara Hill Montessori would be a good fit with your values.

If your child is age 0 - 3.5 years contact us today for availability and to join our waitlist.

admin@totarahillmontessori.co.nz or send us a message through our contact page.

We hope the children who spend their early years with us will reach their fullest potential, beginning their journey through life with a passion for learning, a respect for all peoples and the environment we live in. 

At Tōtara Hill Montessori nature abounds, Tui's feed outside the window, we pick fruit in the orchard, the trees shade us, and we have bush walks without leaving the property.

"The child, with its immense physical and intellectual potential, is a miracle standing before us....this....should be passed on to all parents, educators, and other persons interested in children, because education from the start of life could really change present and future society"

Dr. Silvana Quattrocchi Montanaro, M.D
