Parent Testimonials

There's nothing quite like hearing from real parents about their experience. Here's what they have to say about what Capital Montessori has meant to their family.

NATASSIA & FAMILY

"Our daughter has just completed her first term at Capital Montessori and we are so pleased with her personal growth and development so far. She is becoming so confident, independent and has a real sense of belonging. We have observed her language skills grow and this has had a lovely calming effect at home where she is more easily able to problem solve and articulate her feelings. We love how Capital Montessori goes above and beyond to extend each child to reach their potential whilst building solid foundations for joyful life-long learning."

SERGE & FAMILY

"Capital Montessori School is right for us and our kids because the curriculum is targeted at independence and concentration: that's what we want for our boys. The brain is developing furiously during the playgroup and preschool years - why would you not want to give your child the best possible start in life?"

Sean, Mel & family

"Choosing Capital and Montessori for our three girls has been one of the best decisions we've made as parents. One visit and we knew it was a very special place. It gives kids a great start on their learning journey - nurtures their independence, social skills and confidence. At Capital our kids are not just being cared for, they're happily following their own interests and discovering how much fun learning is!"

amy & FAMILY

"We just love Capital Montessori School. It is a wonderful, supportive environment to learn and grow. It really nurtures a love of learning - Liam is happy to go there every morning and comes home inspired and excited. His teachers are genuinely passionate about Montessori education and Liam has thrived over the last 18 months."

NICOLA & FAMILY

"We discovered Capital Montessori School's Rata playgroup through a neighbour - and what a brilliant course it has set our girls on. I really like that as an infant playgroup Rata is open to children and parent's attending together, so I was able to come along and find out what Montessori is about and what makes it unique and special compared to a traditional teaching methodology.

Given the warm and incredibly inviting environment my very busy first born (and I) were soon made to feel very much a part of the group. She was able to engage with the beautiful materials as they took her interest and at her own pace and the environment seemed to channel her enthusiasm for discovery and exploration in a positive and calm way.

My second born followed suit, coming along to sessions from 8 weeks old. They both now attend the preschool and everyday are spoken to with love, understanding and respect. They are given an array of the most amazing activities and materials to enhance their love of learning, find out about the world, foster their independence, learn to take care of themselves and to make friends. I am so pleased we started on this Montessori journey given the first years are so important and believe that Capital Montessori School has given my girls the absolute best foundation for learning."

Zoe & FAMILy, 2025

“Our son's journey at Capital Montessori School is something we will always cherish and be truly thankful for. There, we found an authentic Montessori environment and a warm and thoughtful welcome from the teaching and administrative team having moved from overseas. As he settled into the gentle routine of the akomanga/classroom, he found support and inspiration from his older peers and later, in turn became a role model and enthusiastic carer for the newer, younger tamariki. My son was consistently shown respect and genuine care from the kaiako, who along with the beautifully prepared materials in the environment, supported his growth and development in a holistic way. From the rich language environment, his ability to communicate flourished and he confidently worked on the skills required to read and write. Work on emotional awareness supported an understanding of his own feelings and the feelings of his peers, and being an active participant in the community allowed him to practice the essential life skills of being able to cooperate and work with and alongside others. He also gained confidence in many activities to care for the environment and it was wonderful to see him involved in the kitchen and the garden where he found such pleasure. Music, creativity and culture were also enjoyed and weaved seamlessly into the days spent at Capital Montessori. I would recommend this school without reservation.”
