Mount Cook Preschool - Te Aro
About Mount Cook Preschool
‘For a child it is in the simplicity of play that the complexity of life is sorted like puzzle pieces joined together to make sense of the world.’
(L. R. Knost, Child Development Researcher)
We believe that through play, and with the support of attentive adults, children gain the skills and attitudes they need for life-long learning. We give them time and space to follow their passions, to question, to test and share their ideas, to interact with others and with their environment. We provide consistent relationships, routines and expectations, so children feel confident as they take risks and try new things. Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum forms the basis of our programme, which includes rich and meaningful learning opportunities. We are also inspired by the rhythms and materials in nature.
We honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi by acknowledging the special place Māori hold as tangata whenua. We value Māori perspectives and infuse te reo and tikanga throughout our programme, so that all our little New Zealanders realise the treasure we have and so Māori children can succeed as Māori.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mt Cook Preschool has everything my daughter and I needed: a loving, tight-knit gentle learning environment. The teaching staff are committed to each child and are always in tune with their individual needs. We arrived in Wellington needing a second home for my 4yo - I knew it would define how well she would settle in our new home city. Within days she declared to me she was home! This was a clear testament to how the teachers were focused on engaging with her, encouraging her to express her (very overt) self, and following her lead. My daughter flourished!!! Her leadership was always encouraged. She got to socialise to the optimum every day, just the way she loves to. There are so many fun activities, a child's curiosity always met.
It is this genuine care that makes Mt Cook Preschool its own little hive of love, community and fun. All underpinned by wonderful values of whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and a deep awareness of our planet.
We will always be grateful for our time with the Mt Cook whanau. The second home for us. Wellington's best kept ECE secret!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We can remember the first days when our daughter joined the preschool. Although It was her first experience in a new country, the wonderful, friendly and skilled staff helped her learn the new culture and language through creative learning and play.
Over one year, we have seen a drastic change in Ava’s confidence in learning new things, communication with other kids and making colourful and beautiful artworks. All these skills have prepared her for the start of school in the next few months.
Ava loved coming to preschool everyday --even on weekends- to join all the activities that happened in the inside and outside of the preschool.
We are very grateful and happy to find this amazing place for our daughter.
Many thanks to Frances, Rebecca, Angela, Toni, Lynne and Wei.
