Parent Testimonials
“Our children have different needs and the team at Montessori 3-6 have willingly found ways to meet them as the individuals that they are. The teaching team bring much experience and we love the inclusivity of honouring multiple languages and cultures. The kids do awesome activities and are constantly bringing home creations they are proud of”
“We are so blessed to have the 3-6 Montessori in Napier. The teachers are outstanding in providing the best education for my son who has been attending here since he was 2 years old. This school has unlocked my son’s potential in character development, values, literacy, reading, arithmetic, arts, music, science, and life skills such as baking, gardening and basic home responsibilities. The learning materials are high quality with focus on education and critical thinking. Ergonomics and layout of the indoor and outdoor learning environment is well-thought, conducive and safe. The students are also taught to speak in English, Te Reo, Spanish and Japanese. Celebration of different countries are also implemented, which helped the kids to be culturally diverse at early age. My most favourite in this school is the genuine love and care of the teachers to their students and their passion to live and teach the Montessori principles. The teachers are amazing! I believe that my son has developed and grow so well with the support of this school. 3-6 Montessori is genuine to their intentions in providing an individualised quality education based on specific needs of their students. Thank you to all the amazing teachers of 3-6 Montessori. We really appreciate all your hard work and efforts for the education of our young children.
More power to your school.”

E kore e ea i ēnei kupu ruarua nei, aku mihi katoa ki te kura kōhungahunga nei, a Montessori 3-6, mō rātou i poipoi ai i tā mātou mokopuna, kia tū ai ia, he kōtiro mārama ki tōna mana ake, me te mārama anō hoki ōna ki te mana ake o ētahi atu. Tēnā koutou e ngā pūkenga whakaako tamariki!”
“The wonderful adage – It takes a community to raise a child. Here is a great team of caring, professional teachers. The child truly is at the centre of everything they do. Yes, it’s a rich learning environment. Yes! The child learns respect for self & others. On top of that, they provide very good preparation for school. We could not be more happy😊”
“Estamos muy felices y agradecidos con las guías del daycare, ya que son muy amorosas y profesionales con nuestro hijo Santiago. A pesar de estar recién llegado al país, él se siente como en casa cada vez que llega al jardín. Para nosotros eso es impagable. 100% recomendado”
“We are very happy and grateful to the daycare staff, because they are very lovelys and professional with our son Santiago. Despite being a newcomer to the country, he feels at home every time he arrives at the garden. For us that is the best. 100% recommended!”
