Mt Cook Preschool 160 Tory Street, Te Aro, Wellington 6011

"Very nice school"

"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."

"Highly recommended pre-school, the staff are extremely friendly, understanding, professional, and always do there best to plant high morals. My son has left it to start his school, but still misses his great time there."

"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!!"

"Mt. Cook Preschool is a warm friendly learning environment. The teachers are invested in their students and truly care for every child. Our daughter has had a wonderful experience here and the transition to school was beautifully smooth. We are very greatful to have found an active hands-on early childhood education facility."
