Tuakana-Teina, older children helping younger children
The Montessori class contains children of mixed ages and abilities. The children frequently learn from each other, the older ones helping the younger, in a perfect example of tuakana-teina. They all thrive in this atmosphere of peace, generosity, order and co-operation. This is one example of how we live our philosophy "...relationships are based upon respect, caring and communication. The qualities of tuakana-teina ... are practices creating a learning community."
