Testimonials

Little Earth has been a home away from home for our first born, not to mention a highly coveted environment by our youngest. Over the last two and a half years our son has moved from the Nido room, where he bonded so closely with his carers to the preschool room where his skill sets really blossomed. At Little Earth they foster loving and affectionate and consent-based relationships with endless patience and persistent communication from all kaiako.

They navigate learning in a very 'real world' approach allowing children the autonomy and power to direct their learning with the option to invite friends to join in. I really appreciated this as sharing is such a hard concept to navigate with young people. The communication between us and the teachers was always forthcoming and thoughtful.

I can honestly say these preschool cares about tamariki/children and their relationships with each other and their environment 100%. It's only been 1.5 weeks since we left, and we miss you all so much! Thank you for your gifts, Love Josie and whānau

Little Earth Montessori was the easiest and best decision I had made for myself and my son.

Little Earth Montessori was my last tour/visit to make my final decision and it was an immediate yes. The fear of this new chapter was immediately at ease when we enrolled here.

4 months later I am still so happy with my decision. The teachers have been overwhelmingly supportive of my son and the big, emotional, transition this was for him. They have gone above and beyond for him and I feel confident every morning I drop him off. The teachers are so patient, gentle and focused.

He comes home with wonderful stories about his day and he has shown such positive growth.

Thank you Little Earth Montessori for supporting my son through his highs and lows and making myself, as his mother, feel confident that he is in safe and loving hands.

We really have found a gem in Little Earth Montessori Kapiti. Teddy LOVES it! We have noticed a calmness since moving to the centre, he is easy to communicate and converse with and is compassionate and responsible. He has also made some great friends and often talks about them and the teachers at home and on the weekends. He finds learning about his environment and doing jobs like making bread, cutting the fruit, watering plants and taking care of the centre really satisfying.

Little Earth Montessori Kapiti has far exceeded our expectations - the level of care is so high, and my husband and I know our son is in safe and caring hands. As an ex-educator myself, I hold the professionalism and creativity of these teachers in very high regard. As a working mum it's not easy to leave your children with others every day. We are so grateful to the staff for being such a safe, supportive and positive force in our whanau.
