About the Business
Welcome to Grey Lynn Montessori by Busy Bees, located at 56 Surrey Crescent, Auckland. At Busy Bees, we believe that every child is unique and special. We understand that choosing the right center for your child's education and care is a big decision, and we would be delighted to be a part of your child's learning journey.
At Grey Lynn Montessori, we offer an all day Montessori Curriculum. Our routines start with children being welcomed into our childcare center, where they are given the freedom to choose from various curriculum areas. Our materials are displayed on low shelves, easily accessible for children, empowering them to follow their interests. They can engage in activities independently, with teachers, peers, or in small groups, allowing them to concentrate, make discoveries, and master skills at their own pace.
Our center has two rooms specifically designed for different age groups. The first room is for children aged 2 to 3 years, providing an introduction to the principles of Montessori. This room prepares children for engaging in our Montessori curriculum. The second room is for children aged 3 to 6 years and is fully equipped with a Montessori environment, led by experienced Montessori teachers.
In our transition to Montessori classroom, children learn basic Montessori concepts, such as taking care of their belongings and packing things away. The materials and resources in this space are carefully selected to meet the developmental stage of the children, allowing them to freely explore with the guidance of attentive teachers.
In our Waiheke classroom, we have a well-set-up Montessori environment specifically prepared to support the learning of older children. With two Montessori-trained teachers, each child receives dedicated 1:1 time to extend their learning across the full curriculum. Children are presented with scientifically designed materials and resources that foster a deep love of learning and prepare them for lifelong learning.
In addition to our Montessori curriculum, we offer a wide variety of extra-curricular preschool activities, including baking, science, yoga, music and movement, dance, drama, poetry, ball games, gardening, and visual arts and crafts. These activities can be enjoyed both individually and in small groups.
We also prioritize the health and well-being of our children by providing freshly made morning and afternoon tea. We believe that nourishing food fuels children to thrive physically and mentally, while also creating opportunities for them to come together and connect as a group during mealtimes.
At Grey Lynn Montessori, we adhere to the Montessori Philosophy, with curriculum areas including Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Culture. We understand the importance of the first five years of a child's life and strive to create a nurturing and stimulating environment that supports their growth and development.
Don't just take our word for it, here's what some of our parents have to say:
- "Excellent center manager and teachers who genuinely care for the children."
- "The staff are divine and my child absolutely loves the center."
- "Amazing staff with so much heart and a caring mindset."
- "Such a kind group of staff, always welcoming when we drop our kids off."

Reviews
"A wonderful team of dedicated Montessori teachers who ensure high quality care and education for the children. The purpose built building ensures that children have access to a wide range of materials and resources and with it backing onto the local primary school and a short walk from Mottat and Auckland zoo, children get the benefit of exploring the local community on many regular excursions."
"We can’t recommend Little Engines highly enough. 10/5 stars! The caring environment that Mamatha and her teachers create is so unique. Our little girl is growing and developing in beautiful ways. She feels so at home at Little Engines, and I’m sure it’s because she’s able to be herself and grow at her own pace in her own ways. Little Engines is an amazing mix of a calm and in-control atmosphere, with an energy of fun, excitement and love. A truly special place run by amazingly caring people."
"My daughter enjoyed her time at little engines. The activities they provide are all very meaningful. The children not only have fun but at the same time they are learning. It really prepares them for school. My daughter's teacher is surprised with her ability to sound out words."
"The best Montessori school in Auckland, genuinely loving teachers with a great work ethic. Highly recommended."
"Great little school, teachers are great, son loves it and has made lots of friends"
