What truly sets us apart is our unique, nature-rich environment. Our centre is home to chickens, guinea pigs, and even a turtle, creating daily opportunities for tamariki to develop aroha and responsibility through meaningful connections with animals. Our tamariki also help care for vegetable gardens and fruit trees strengthening their sense of kaitiakitanga and connection to the natural world. Sustainability sits at the heart of everything we do.

Our offer to you:


  • A warm, welcoming team built on whanaungatanga and Montessori values
  • Quality resources that encourage independence and exploration
  • Strong partnerships with whānau and community
  • The opportunity to be part of the wider Evolve ECE network


What we’re looking for in you:

  • Understanding of, or passion for, the Montessori philosophy
  • A collaborative team player who contributes positively to centre culture
  • A genuine respect for each child’s individuality, strengths, and identity
  • A commitment to the safety, wellbeing, and manaakitanga of all Tamariki


If your teaching philosophy aligns with ours and you’re inspired by a centre that values sustainability, creativity, and holistic development, we would love to hear from you.
