Our Story
Taking responsibility, being respectful, showing compassion and taking care are heart-centred qualities the child unfolds in partnership with a trusted adult.
'The child has his own laws of development; it is a question of following these, not of imposing ourselves upon him.”
- Maria Montessori
Our Aroha Nui Montessori classes were founded by Carli Hausler and Nadya Kavci. Carli and Nadya are both trained in the work of Maria Montessori (AMI birth to three years old Diploma) and experienced early childhood educators.
It is our wish to create an environment that supports parents to see the wonder in their child(ren) and offer practical ways to support them and their child growing together.
We are also inspired by other pedagogical work from Emmi Pikler, Rudolf Steiner and the latest research pertinent for children’s holistic development (physical, emotional, social, cognitive and spiritual).
Our young children and parents community is facilitated by Carli who is also a trustee of Maria Montessori Education Foundation (MMEF) and a Trainer in Training (0-3) with Association Montessori Internationale (AMI)
Carli is a NZ certificated and experienced early childhood educator who is passionate about creating a haven for families in this busy world.
