Our Montessori Curriculum


At Little Royals Montessori Preschool we implement the Te Whāriki Early Childhood curriculum and the Montessori progressive curriculum which encompasses all aspects of a traditional curriculum, and more:

The Montessori curriculum is organised into a spiral of integrated studies. This holistic approach is in contrast to a traditional model in which the curriculum is compartmentalised into separate subjects, with topics only considered when a child is at a specific grade level.


At Little Royals Montessori Preschool our students learn according to their readiness!

The emphasis is on a complete understanding of the skills or concepts underlying any task undertaken by the child. In the early years, lessons are introduced simply and concretely and are reintroduced several times over successive years in increasing degrees of abstraction and complexity.


Discovering the wider world, many incursions and excursions are organised to complement the areas of learning. All the teachers are well trained to implement the Montessori progressive curriculum to extend talented and gifted children. 



Educational Excellence

We aim to provide an excellent Montessori inspired education. We support the children’s individuality and natural phases of development so as to enable every child to fulfil their potential.
