We welcome you to call us and arrange a time to visit our beautiful centre in person. Until then, browse the pictures here to get a feel for OUR place.
At Coast Montessori Preschool, we believe early childhood is a magical time full of curiosity, joy and potential. Our Silverdale preschool provides a nurturing, beautiful environment where children aged 2–5 years feel safe to explore, learn and grow at their own pace. Here, every child is seen, supported and celebrated as a unique individual.
We follow the Montessori approach — a child-centred, holistic learning philosophy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. This method encourages children to learn through hands-on experiences, self-directed exploration, and meaningful play. In our classrooms, children are free to choose activities that interest them, fostering confidence, motivation, curiosity, independence and a lifelong love of learning.
Our programme is tailored to each child’s interests and developmental stage, honouring their natural curiosity and unique way of learning. Children learn by doing — engaging all five senses as they explore real materials and purposeful activities.
We embrace a mixed-age environment where younger children learn from older friends, older children build leadership and empathy, and everyone benefits from rich social interaction.
Our team of qualified, New Zealand early childhood educators provides thoughtful guidance, generous encouragement, and warm connections with every child. We maintain a strong adult-child ratio to ensure individual attention and meaningful relationships.
Our classrooms and outdoor spaces are intentionally designed to be inviting, calm and rich with opportunities for exploration — from sensory play and practical life activities to language, music, art, maths and nature discovery.
At Coast Montessori Silverdale, we’re more than a preschool — we’re a village. We believe that nurturing children is a partnership between teachers and families, and we take pride in building strong, respectful connections with parents and whānau.
Whether you’re new to early childhood education or familiar with Montessori, you’ll find a supportive community where your child’s growth and wellbeing come first.
At Coast Montessori Preschool, your child will flourish — gaining confidence, independence and a deep love of learning in a joyful, caring community.
