OUR GROUPS

Guiding Every Step of the Early Learning Journey

At Timaru Christian Preschool, we nurture children through a series of developmentally appropriate learning groups that support their growth spiritually, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. Each group is thoughtfully designed to meet children where they are and guide them through new stages of learning with gentle structure, loving support, and a Christian foundation.

Core values

Our Philosophy

The vision for Timaru Christian Preschool is to assist whānau / families in the education of their tamariki / children, by providing a stimulating and enriching learning experience based on Christian beliefs and values.

MEET OUR STAFF

Our friendly teachers all hold a Bachelor of Teaching ECE qualification and are experienced and skilled in teaching preschool-aged children. They understand that children learn and develop in different ways. As a parent, you will have ongoing conversations with our teachers about your child and your aspirations for their learning.
