FUTURE GENERATION PONSONBY MONTESSORI KINDERGARTEN PROVIDES HOLISTIC HIGH QUALITY PROGRAMME Ponsonby Montessori Kindergarten (PMK) has served Ponsonby and the surrounding community for over 20 years in a warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. PMK provides the important foundations for young children as they begin their journey of “learning for life”. A small nurturing centre, licensed for 30 children delivers a holistic high quality Montessori programme in a newly renovated environment. The Montessori philosophy uses specialist equipment and practices to develop a child’s concentration and focus along with their literacy and numeracy skills while also assisting in developing self-management. Extra-curricular activities by experienced visiting tutors, a working garden and a modern playground contribute to all children receiving a quality education at PMK. A high teacher to child ratio caters to the individual needs of every child with trained and dedicated staff providing quality language models while developing reciprocal relationships. Their well trained, strong, supportive team is committed to ensuring that their quality programme and learning environment aligns with both the Montessori philosophy and the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum. Enrolments are currently being accepted. The educator, manager and owner is an experienced educational leader and well-versed in the transition to school process. Shelley welcomes visits from interested parents. Examine their website or call to make a time to view the centre in operation. They are holding an Open Day on Saturday 13 April, 9am-1pm – so come along and see the Kindergarten for your self.
