Congratulations on the birth of a future well-rounded citizen!
Consistent routines can be set up from the outset with Montessori methods introduced into the home environment.
At 3 years (or earlier) begin your child’s Montessori preschool education to ensure readiness for Montessori Primary.
We request at least 2 years of Montessori preschool experience and for children to transition straight from Montessori preschool.
At around 4 years of age, we invite you to attend a Parent Information Evening (PIE). These Evenings are offered once each term.
Once you have attended a PIE, our Administrator can arrange a Classroom Observation and Discussion appointment at Montessori@Arataki (M@A) or Montessori@Bellevue (M@B).
An Application Form for the Montessori classroom will be made available after your Discussion appointment.
At this time you may wish to complete the paperwork required for Arataki and Bellevue Schools. The school enrolment process can be completed online.
At 5.5 years your child can either remain at Montessori preschool or be eligible to start at Montessori@Arataki and Montessori@Bellevue.
During the term prior to your child starting with us, one of our teachers will visit your child in their preschool environment and your child will begin transition visits, welcoming them into their new learning community at Montessori@Arataki or Montessori@Bellevue.
Between 5.5 and 6 years, your child will commence the next stage of their Montessori education journey at either Montessori@Arataki or Montessori@Bellevue!!
