Recognised for Excellence by the Education Review Office (ERO)

What is ERO?

The Education Review Office (ERO) is New Zealand's independent government agency responsible for evaluating the quality of early childhood education services. ERO reviews how well centres support children's learning, development and wellbeing, giving families confidence that services meet high standards of quality.

What ERO says about Koru Montessori?

They also recognise how our authentic Montessori programme aligns with the vision and principles of Te Whāriki, New Zealand's early childhood curriculum, supporting children to become confident, capable learners with a strong sense of belonging, wellbeing and curiosity.
