Order and Simplicity

Beautiful Location
Nestled within Endeavour Park in Whitby, Porirua, our preschool offers children the perfect blend of indoor learning and outdoor exploration, providing opportunities for nature study and physical play.
Building Our Community
Community Owned
Our preschool is governed by a board of volunteer parents and teachers, ensuring decisions are made with children’s best interests at heart. This collaborative approach fosters a strong sense of belonging and shared purpose.
Parent Involvement
We welcome parent participation through classroom observations, and community events. This partnership between home and preschool creates consistency for children and enriches our community.
Partnering With Families For Montessori Learning
At Mana Montessori, we believe that education is most effective when families and teachers work together. We regularly communicate with parents about their child’s progress and provide resources to help extend Montessori principles into the home environment.
