Our preschool in Richmond

Our vibrant, purpose-built centre offers an ideal setting for quality early childhood education. Featuring a light-filled classroom and expansive outdoor play areas, all designed to encourage exploration, active play, learning development, and community.

We offer a play-based curriculum where we observe and value your child's interests as the foundation for planning and learning activities.

Children thrive in our Centre's spacious indoor and outdoor play areas, which are specifically designed to inspire creativity and active learning. We provide a wide selection of resources to customise activities around each child's unique interests, successfully fostering their individual growth and development.

We absolutely love our Ark family. The teachers have been nothing but amazing, they really engage with the children, encourage friendships, and help build confidence. Our son went from needing someone to come to the gate to say goodbye and not having many friends or knowing how to make friendships.

Now he's got a great group of friends, loves going to preschool (especially tuakana time) and has a confidence he's never had before, which has opened up lots of doors for him, such a wonderful stepping stone into going to school and into the big wide world. Such a blessing to be part of such a beautiful environment.

Two of our sons attended the Ark Preschool and absolutely loved it.

The staff and teachers are very kind, caring and engaging with the children.
Every day different activities are provided, and they tailored those activities to meet the interest of the boys.

We can recommend the Ark to anyone looking for a caring, calm and loving preschool for their child.

We are not a church going family, but have still chosen The Ark as our children’s preschool as we find the quality of education and care to be outstanding. The patience and nurturing the Teachers demonstrate is fantastic.

The Ark has been a place where special memories have been built for our two children. The teachers have always been lovely and caring to all children. Our personal preferences have always been respected and each child has been given a personalised path, focused on their areas of interest.

The Ark has provided a safe space, where children have the freedom to play and learn, and the opportunity to take part in short organised activities within the centre, according to their interests and abilities. The Ark's teachers are like a second family to us, and although our journey there has just finished, we cannot recommend the centre and their teachers more! Thank you the Ark for so much during our children's tender years!
