MONTESSORI OAMARU
Hands-on learning from newborn to 6 years
Montessori Oamaru follows the Montessori philosophy of child-directed learning, focusing on a respect for the child and their ability to learn through discovery. Our early learning centre is calm, warm and inviting; with light-filled spaces and an open plan, natural design. We create environments that encourage your child to explore and be creative, promoting active independence and freedom of choice.
Our ‘Montessori family’ of teachers are present to observe and guide your child’s learning in a supportive and patient manner while ensuring the best possible environment for learning.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Montessori Oamaru
Dr Maria Montessori dedicated her life to the understanding of child development, and her method has been trialled and tested for over 100 years, with success throughout the world. The number of Montessori centres in New Zealand continue to grow, with more people learning to understand and appreciate this philosophy and how well it works in the early years.
OUR MONTESSORI TEACHERS
The driving force behind our centre
Our teaching staff are all special caregivers. They are handpicked for embracing a child-centred philosophy that demands a respect for the child and support for all their potential. Their experience in working with little people, their qualifications and their passion for the Montessori philosophy are all considerations when it comes to selecting teachers to join our team here at Montessori Oamaru. We need our teachers to have a genuine love for child-directed learning, a compassionate approach to teaching, displaying attributes of calm and patience.
We are often on the lookout for amazing, passionate, creative ECE teachers to join our Montessori team. If you know of anyone who would fit perfectly with us please refer them! If you see yourself being a part of our team feel free to get in touch, you never know your chances!
