Welcome to Little Earth - a warm and nurturing group of Montessori-based learning centres where children are inspired to unlock their potential through holistic, hands-on learning.
Little Earth centres are a home away from home for children aged 0-6. Little Earth children learn with confidence, and develop independence and a courageous love of learning, through our child-centred methodology where children choose their ‘work’, and are given guidance and support by our fantastic teachers, in an environment that encourages calm and purposeful learning.
Spring festival – otherwise known as Chinese New Year – is the most highly-anticipated time of the year in Chinese culture. And this year, children and teachers at Little Earth Montessori Rosedale were lucky enough to experience the festivities first-hand thanks to our generous Chinese families.
Little Earth Montessori Queenstown were the first early childhood centre in the Queenstown Lakes District to earn their Enviroschool bronze and silver awards – and now they have achieved the amazing milestone of becoming a Green Gold Enviroschool.
An obstacle course, a treasure hunt and a water slide covered in bubbles were just some of the highlights of Little Earth Queenstown’s recent Healthy Heart Fun Day.
Matariki has always been a part of our conversations here at Little Earth Montessori Kapiti. We constantly revisit books and songs about Matariki. From time to time older children also share their experiences of past Matariki celebrations at preschool. For the last two months we had more focused discussion and had various activities on it as we commemorate Māori New Year.
