The Stables Montessori Preschool is a beautiful purpose-built preschool situated in the Halswell Commons subdivision. Established in 2019 and named The Stables because it was built on the historic grounds of one of the finest harness racing stables in New Zealand, Spreydon Lodge.
Stables Montessori Preschool is a privately owned & operated centre. We operate under the provisions of the Ministry of Education Regulations 2008 and we aim to provide high quality Montessori teaching, while building relationships with our children and families in a safe and nurturing environment.
At Stables Montessori we offer care and education for children aged from birth to six years old. We have thoughtfully designed rooms that meet each child’s specific age and stage of development.
Ross Moffatt and Danielle Fisher set up the Stables Montessori with the aim of bringing a quality Montessori Preschool to the Halswell community.

We are open Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm and are closed on weekends and public holidays. We’d love to show you around, please contact us to arrange a visit!
