It is our privilege, in partnership with whānau and the community, to nurture tamariki with their learning and development.
Ōtaki Montessori is a place where tamariki are the center of all we do. We encourage holistic interactions for every learner through a Montessori lens. Our community of learners range in age from 2 years to 6 years of age. We are set within the heart of Haruātai Park with access to native bush which our tamariki frequently enjoy.

Nature forms an integral part of learning experiences at Ōtaki Montessori. Tūī class spend one morning a week immersed in Nature’s classroom, and Kererū can often be seen out walking the track looking at birds, plants and snow on the ranges.
We are committed to being living partners to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
