“where children experience a peaceful and unique place of learning”
Welcome to Mana Montessori Preschool
Mana Montessori Preschool is an independent, community-owned, teacher-led preschool for children aged 2½ to 6 years.
Start your child’s learning journey in our high-quality, calm, caring, and enriching Montessori environment. As part of our preschool community, your child will discover new skills, new experiences, and new friendships.
Our purpose-built school is located in Endeavour Park in Whitby, Porirua.
The preschool operates Monday to Friday from 8:45am to 3:00pm, with an extended day programme available from 8:30am to 3:30pm. We are open year-round, with a four-week closure over the summer holiday period.
If you would like to visit, we would love to hear from you—please get in touch to arrange a time.
We support our children’s developing independence, concentration, and confidence. They are encouraged to choose where they work and to select their own activities, fostering a sense of ownership over their learning.
Children are free to revisit their work as often as they wish, allowing them to practice, refine, and achieve mastery at their own pace.
