Koru Montessori Preschool in North Shore Auckland
Inspiring independence, discovery, and a lifelong love of learning
Located in the heart of Sunnynook on Auckland’s North Shore, Koru Montessori is a nurturing preschool for children aged 2–6. We offer a calm, structured and engaging environment where children can explore, discover and grow through self-directed, hands-on learning.
Our approach blends Montessori philosophy with New Zealand’s Te Whāriki early childhood curriculum, fostering independence, creativity and confidence while respecting each child’s unique pace of development.
Koru Montessori has been recognised by ERO for providing the highest quality of education for more than a decade.
Our Montessori Programme

Mixed-age classrooms build confidence and community, with older children mentoring younger ones and all students benefiting from practical life skills, language, maths, cultural studies, and creative expression.
