.jpg)
Kia ora Koutou MMEF Supporters,
It was uplifting and heartwarming to see many of you in Rotorua recently at the annual Montessori Aotearoa New Zealand Conference. Entitled Manaakitanga and Montessori ~ Nurturing Relationships and Caring for One Another, thanks to meticulous planning, there was truly something for everyone!
Dynamic speakers, regulatory clarifications, and new learning to reflect on with colleagues and friends during the convivial breaks. What was abundantly clear was our need for face-to-face social interactions and collaboration;)

Training Centre Venue - Do You Know of Premises for Rent?
Many of you heard of the fire at the venue of the AMI Training Centre earlier this year. We are safe, our materials are safe; however, we now seek approximately 120 square metres to establish the 3-6 Prepared Training Environment and student facilities. Our dream is to have a permanent home to facilitate the myriad of community, parent & kaiārahi/guide events that could be offered. Do you have space available, or do you know of any nearby facilities, schools, or rental buildings that we could approach? Sadly, Community Halls are not eligible due to the high frequency of their weekly users. Please contact mmefnz@outlook.com or call Carol on 021 111 4133 with any potential leads.
