Annabel’s Avonhead preschool is a nurturing, creative, and educational preschool. We are focused on centre-based learning for your kindergartener. Our unique schoolhouse setting, play-based learning program, and supportive preschool staff and community set us apart from the rest in Avonhead. Annabel’s has been a trusted Avonhead preschool since 1998. We reach new heights in educating preschool-aged children each year, built on a foundation of Discovery/Exploration programme, Child's Initiated Interest Programmes, Focused Group Programmes, and Children's Individual Programmes based on the early childhood curriculum, Te Whāriki and supporting documents.

With nature at our fingertips, the outdoor area of Annabel’s Avonhead backs onto mature trees. This natural setting not only provides shade for our children but exposes them to insights about the natural world. One example is the changing seasons. They wouldn’t gain this understanding by only sitting in a classroom. Additionally, our preschool learning centre supports healthy eating habits by providing cut fruit at morning and afternoon tea. Offering kai at these times encourages children to develop an understanding of when they are hungry. We also empower them by giving them the opportunity to complete what they are working on before they come to eat. We encourage growth, communication, and maturity through our experienced teachers, preschool education program, and tight-knit community in Avonhead, Christchurch.
