Emily - Owner & Manager In 2014, Emily completed her Early Childhood Diploma, which was no surprise to anyone after being raised in a family that were passionate owners of four Learning Curves Montessori centres in Christchurch. With her Mum, Robyn, being her biggest inspiration and mentor, Emily’s studies didn’t stop there. Emily has also been awarded her Montessori diploma, Infant and Toddler Mental Health & Wellbeing certificate and diploma, and she has also become a Certified Sleep Consultant.
Learning Curves Montessori Lincoln
Learning Curves Montessori Lincoln is a family owned and operated Early Childhood centre, promising their commitment to you in providing a quality care learning environment for infants, toddlers and young children. We are a community of passionate lifelong learners where all children have the freedom to achieve in a Montessori and RIE (resources for infant educarers) inspired environment.
Our ongoing motivation is to evolve, strive for growth and be passionate leaders in providing high-quality preschool education for children.
The children’s environment will be well prepared, well resourced, and full of rich learning experiences, all of which encourage an intrinsic natural desire to learn at their own pace. This will allow and inspire children to become confident lifelong learners, emotionally resilient, have high self-esteem, open-mindedness, curiosity, kindness, discipline and the freedom to achieve what they desire.
We believe in creating positive learning environments that will empower children to develop to their full potential. Each child and their holistic development will be at the heart of our programme, which will be supported by strong reciprocal relationships and respect.
We believe in forming strong partnerships with whānau/families, which will encourage open communication, collaboration, and foster a feeling of trust. This will enable ‘multiple voices’ to promote positive learning outcomes for children.

Our Montessori programme honours and incorporates Te Whāriki to provide holistic learning opportunities for all children.
Learning Curves respects the unique position of Māori as Tangata Whenua in Aotearoa/New Zealand. We encourage an awareness and appreciation of the bi-cultural heritage of our country and honour the partnership with Te Tiriti O Waitangi. We will continue to offer exciting learning opportunities and possibilities for children where they can experience symbols of their own and other cultures and develop acceptance and understanding of differences.
At Learning Curves we support each child by supporting the child to develop their natural tools for learning. The RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) philosophy is seen through our responsive and respectful approach to supporting children’s needs while giving them agency and responsibility for their learning and development. Children experience nurturing attachment relationships with primary caregivers through care moments and exploration. Our focus is on respectful practices that build trust and ensure time for quality care moments, uninterrupted play and freedom of movement.
