what does it mean to be a part of the Killarney Kids whānau? How are little learners encouraged to shine?

At Killarney Kids Preschool, we believe that every child is a unique explorer on their own learning journey! Our Individual Montessori Plans cater specifically to each child's interests, strengths, and developmental needs. By fostering independence and a love for discovery, we create tailored experiences that encourage children to learn at their own pace. With hands-on activities and engaging materials, each child can flourish in a supportive environment, developing skills that will last a lifetime. Let’s celebrate their individuality and watch them grow into confident learners!
Being a specialised bespoke school Killarney Kids has one specialist area for children aged 3-5 years old and a sleep room for naps.
With spaces limited to 30 children our specialist space with our stunning view of lake Pupuke alongside our state of the art outdoor space means we have the right space, curriculum and team to deliver a truly bespoke ECE experience for our children and their families.
We value not only academic growth, but also social development, emotional wellbeing, and the confidence that comes from feeling truly seen and supported.
With a Montessori curriculum that caters to all learning styles, we empower every child to thrive at their own pace and in their own way.
Core Montessori elements are the foundation of the Killarney Kids Montessori Preschool Curriculum. Our educators are trained in the Montessori method, and our classroom has a full set of Montessori materials. The Montessori approach allows every child to develop naturally — to learn and grow at their own pace. Our Curriculum will also borrow from other pedagogies to learn, invent, and improve our ability to support every child’s development.
In our classrooms, children follow their interests and engage in hands-on activities using Montessori materials designed to meet each child’s developmental needs using scientific methods. This enhances a child’s physical, intellectual, social, emotional, and cultural development.
Our Curriculum is designed around four key areas: Child Centered, Culturally Responsive, Standards-Based, and Montessori-Inspired.
These four areas drive our decisions on what is taught in our classrooms.
Our Curriculum meets the child where they are and prioritizes all areas of child development.
Our Curriculum also encourages independence, collaboration, and joy in learning.
Our curriculum prospectus overview is available on request via email. We invite you to discover it out and book a tour of our bespoke school.
