About

Montessori 3-6 is a small Montessori preschool on the corner of Georges Drive and Chambers Street in Napier South, founded by Vicky Lumsden and open since 2011. Children follow a hands-on Montessori curriculum across six areas, from practical life and maths to literacy, languages and the outdoors, with individual goals set for every child. Vicky is both primary and early childhood trained, and she also runs Montessori Afterschool Tutoring for preschool, primary, intermediate and high school children. It suits families who want a calm, structured start to learning and a gentle path into primary school.
