Sienna is 4 and attends Fernlea

“We had just arrived back in New Zealand and were looking for an early pre-school for an early pre-school to which we could take Sienna once or twice a week.

We were staying in Kingston, and heard about Capital Montessori's Monday morning playgroup sessions.  To be honest we had no idea what Montessori was.  We did a bit of research and we were quite impressed with Montessori’s learning ethos, so we enrolled Sienna into the early entry class.

When we attended an information evening we got a much greater understanding of Montessori.  

Sienna has been at Montessori preschool for two years now. Sienna has developed greatly. She has learnt everyday life skills which she is able to apply at home and has a sense of responsibility, individuality and empathy towards others. Her younger sister is enrolled to go when she turns three”.
