Halswell Commons
Montessori Preschool
The Stables Montessori Preschool is a beautiful, purpose-built preschool situated in the Halswell Commons subdivision. Established in 2019, our early childhood education centre was named The Stables because it was built on the historic grounds of one of the finest harness racing stables in New Zealand, Spreydon Lodge.
Stables Montessori Preschool is a privately owned and operated Montessori education preschool. Our kindergarten operates under the provisions of the Ministry of Education Regulations 2008. Our dedicated early childhood learning teachers aim to provide high quality pre-preschool and preschool Montessori education, while building relationships with our children and families in a safe and nurturing environment.
Our thoughtfully designed early learning centres are tailored to support each child’s unique stage of development, fostering independence, confidence, and a love for learning. At Stables Montessori Preschools, we are proud to provide high-quality care and Montessori education, including daycare, pre-preschool and preschool, for children aged birth to six years old.
Founded by Ross Moffatt and Danielle Fisher, The Stables Montessori Preschool was established to bring authentic Montessori preschool education to Halswell and the wider Christchurch area.
Montessori Philosophy
We believe that the first six years of a child’s life are fundamental to their future development. The experiences that take place at The Stables Montessori will lay solid foundations and prepare children for lifelong learning.
Children’s individual uniqueness is celebrated meaning children are respected, happy and develop a strong sense of belonging.
Friendly, motivated, and passionate teachers provide a holistic approach to teaching and learning by weaving Te Whāriki and The Montessori Method creating a specially prepared environment where children have the freedom to make choices, direct their own learning and make new discoveries.
Family and community are integral to our programme, we welcome input from parents and caregivers and value the contribution they make.
All these aspects combined, alongside our thoughtfully planned school readiness curriculum ensures children are set up with the skills and knowledge to succeed in the next step of their journey.
