Together we celebrated Maria Montessori's 150 year anniversary in honour of Maria Montessori's work in education by planting a native Rata/Pohutakawa tree in our rose garden.  Two of our most senior teachers who are well respected for their modelling of the Montessori programmme at BestStart Montessori the Gardens (Donna Thomson and Karen MacKay) lead the planting ceremony. 

As a part of this special day we lit a candle and sang the peace song and also placed a plaque next to the tree so that we can remember all the wonderful efforts of Maria along with the Montessori Philosophy that binds us together in our place of work each day.
