Nothing tells the story of Cherubs better than the voices of our families.—here’s what they’re saying.
A Thoughtfully Blended Curriculum That Grows with Your Child
-
Montessori
At Cherubs, Montessori means giving your child the freedom to explore, make choices, and grow into a confident, independent thinker. In our calm and thoughtfully prepared classrooms, teachers gently guide children as they learn at their own pace, discovering joy in every moment.
-
Reggio Emilia
Our Reggio Emilia-inspired approach encourages creativity, collaboration, and expression. Children are seen as capable and curious, and they learn through projects that reflect their ideas, questions, and imagination—supported by teachers who learn alongside them.
-
Te Whāriki
Rooted in connection and culture, Te Whāriki helps children feel seen, safe, and valued. It fosters emotional wellbeing and a deep sense of belonging by honoring each child’s identity, family, and community—because confident learners grow from strong relationships.
A Day at Cherubs
Structure That Nurtures, Play That Inspires
At Cherubs Nursery School, each day is carefully designed to help your child feel secure, inspired, and eager to learn. Our warm, structured environment gives children just the right balance of guidance and freedom—because we know that’s how young minds grow best.
We follow a gentle daily rhythm that:
Builds trust through consistent routines
Encourages creativity through hands-on play
Strengthens focus and confidence through meaningful challenges
Supports emotional well-being through caring relationships
When children feel safe, seen, and supported, they thrive. At Cherubs, we make every moment count—helping your child build the skills, friendships, and confidence they’ll carry for life.
