About the Business
Welcome to Marshwood Montessori School, a diverse and vibrant educational institution located in the heart of residential Glendowie, Auckland, New Zealand. Established in 1996, our family-owned preschool follows the Montessori philosophy and has become an integral part of the ever-growing community.
At Marshwood, we believe in a holistic approach to education and the well-being of the child. Our aim is to foster independent, self-help, concentration, and social skills while allowing children to work at their own pace. Our purpose-built school features two beautiful classrooms and a large, privately secluded outdoor playground, providing ample opportunities for outdoor learning.
Our highly experienced and Montessori trained teachers are dedicated to offering your child the educational foundation needed to become lifelong learners. They create a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive and develop essential skills.
Both our classrooms are equipped with a full range of Montessori resources from America and Europe, supplemented by additional New Zealand designed materials. This ensures that your child has access to exciting, fun, and educational learning aids. Our classrooms flow onto extensive decks and grassed areas, equipped with specially designed apparatus for the development of gross motor skills and practical life.
In addition to our core curriculum, we offer French classes with Nathalie on Monday mornings at no additional charge. We are also continuously expanding our range of extra-curricular activities to further enrich our program.
Here at Marshwood, we believe in hands-on learning experiences. That's why we have some special animal friends as part of our community. Walkie, our Axolotl, is a fascinating amphibian from Mexico. She is fully grown and lives in a tank where children can observe her unique features and learn about her endangered status. We also have two goldfish, and throughout the years, we have had budgies, cockatiels, rabbits, and even hatched quail eggs in an incubator. We have also been fortunate enough to have visits from lambs, a goat, chicks, and chickens, thanks to a family with access to farm animals.
We invite you to explore our website for more information about Marshwood Montessori School and how our educational approach can benefit your child. Join our community and give your child the opportunity to develop a love for learning, independence, and social skills that will last a lifetime.

Reviews
"I'm so grateful for all learning opportunities/experiments/discoveries and such wonderful and caring environment that Marshwood Montessori provides for our two children. The professionalism of all teachers, their loving and caring attitude and their individual approach to every child is what makes me very confident that my children have the best care while in Marshwood."
"We are so grateful we found such a lovely place for our daughter. She is so excited to go every morning and comes back full of tales of interesting activities they’ve done. The teachers are so great with encouraging the kids to explore their interests and teaching life skills. Highly recommend."
"Our son loves Marshwood and he learns so much. The teachers are enthusiastic and caring. It is a lovely community."
"Marshwood is a welcoming and caring environment with supportive and kind teachers. Everything has always been so clean, tidy and well looked after. The classrooms are spacious and the outside area is a great size with a great playground and play area. Highly recommended!"
"Marshwood is a hidden gem. The teachers are a rare combination of excellent developmental experts and a supportive, observant, loving family. They worked alongside our son through an initially tough transition, supporting him with lots of individual attention while giving him room to find his own way. They consulted with us daily about observations and ways to strengthen his progress at home. The teachers pay close attention to every child as a unique individual and put together structured plans that they follow through on. They observe what the children find interesting and build a curriculum from scratch from those topics - age-appropriate and stimulating for every age. Their outdoor area is a large and beautiful sunny yard with endless sections to play in - giant sand pit, shaded play structure, play houses, a trails/jungle area, trees to climb, a large gazebo, water play areas, bugs to find (and examine under magnifying glasses), flowers and fruit to pick, a garden area, and real grass everywhere. We came with high curriculum expectations from overseas that were met and exceeded, but we came to appreciate most how deeply the staff is dedicated to helping the children grow emotionally and socially alongside literacy/numeracy bookwork. The Director was snagged from another successful school only last May; she has a rare aptitude for supporting the children and hiring the best high-quality and long-term teachers. Other families have followed her here to Glendowie from different parts of Auckland."
