Our Groups

Growing Together in Faith, Learning, and Play

At Timaru Christian Preschool, our learning groups are thoughtfully designed to meet the unique developmental needs of each age group. Through a Christ-centred approach, we provide a nurturing environment where children grow in confidence, skills, and faith. Each group offers age-appropriate opportunities to explore, connect, and learn – laying strong foundations for both school and life.

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. You will have access to our online learning platform, EDUCA, and will be able to keep up to date with your child’s learning progression.

We strive to be:

Professional 100%
