Please note, after many wonderful years, we are pausing our Playgroup from Term 2. More information to come.
CMS Playgroup
We offer a calm and nurturing playgroup environment for infants and toddlers from 0-3 years to explore, learn and socialise accompanied by a parent or family member. It's also a place for parents to learn more about Montessori, develop friendships and find support.

*In May 2026, this room became our new Rata 2-3 year old classroom.
Our beautiful, dedicated toddler room and garden have been developed to support the needs and interests of under 3s and their growing independence and confidence. At playgroup, your child can explore a wide range of quality materials and resources for developing skills in hand-eye and gross motor coordination, music, art, language and practical life activities.
Playgroup is for families interested in exploring Montessori or have children at our preschool.
