Montessori Little Hands Preschool has a small number of spaces available for 15 months to 3 year old classroom now!

We warmly invite you to experience a peaceful and nurturing Montessori environment with a mixed age, and high quality learning materials where children are intently involved at every step in the routine of caring self, respecting others, looking after the environment to develop individuality and love of learning “I did it!”, “I did it all by myself!” are the typical joy shouted out by Montessori little children and those moments were most satisfying for our guides/teachers. Montessori guides are specially trained on how to present each material and when to, how to observe, record, and to “serve the spirit” of little children. There is ONLY ONE early childhood for each child, their future and our future all depends on it.

ALETTERTONEWZEALAND KEEPING KIWIS IN THE KNOW

During these unprecedented times, we at New Zealand Media and Entertainment have a critical role to play.

We reach well over a million New Zealanders each and every day. They read NZME’s daily newspapers. They read our community papers, including Te Awamutu Courier, and magazines. They access nzherald.co.nz or one of our many other digital platforms. They tune into one of our radio stations, including NewstalkZB.

In troubled times, we are relied upon more than ever. It’s vital New Zealanders have access to information they can trust and have confidence in.

Our commitment to all New Zealanders is that we will maintain the highest journalistic standards as we stay focused on giving Kiwis the news and information they need, when they need it.

We are implementing initiatives aimed at keeping our own people safe. These same initiatives are designed to ensure we maintain our ability to deliver on our vital role of ‘Keeping Kiwis in the know’.

We also have a significant role supporting New Zealand businesses to stay connected with their customers.

Recognising that we are all in this together, we have started reaching out to New Zealand businesses offering our help beyond usual advertising and sponsorships. We’re open toideas – we have radio networks, newspapers and websites that connect with New Zealanders every minute of every day.

As a business we are encouraging Kiwis to support local businesses. This week we launched our GoNZ! campaign. Through our many brands and platforms, NZME is committed to inspiring New Zealanders to support local businesses, local communities and each other during a time of great need. Starting with a focus on tourist operators, we’ll soon be expanding the initiative to all local businesses.

As more employers encourage their teams to work from home and as more Kiwis stay at home and limit their face to face interactions, we have an even greater responsibility to keep New Zealanders connected. On our platforms we share experiences, stories, advice and often provide reassuring companionship at times when Kiwis may be feeling isolated.

We take all of these roles and responsibilities incredibly seriously and are totally committed to keeping New Zealand informed and connected.

New Zealand Rugby has postponed all club and community rugby until April 18 to combat coronavirus. The decision is effective immediately. “The postponement includes all rugby matches,” said a statement from New Zealand Rugby. “Non-contact training activities can continue at least in the short term while we continue to monitor the situation with the Ministry of Health. “All team-based activity will be adapted to comply with the limits the ministry has set. This includes minimising person-to-person contact and maintaining hygiene standards including not sharing drink bottles, washing hands and regularly cleaning rugby equipment. “It is a difficult decision for our organisation to make but it is important that we do this in the interests of the health of all rugby participants. “The wellbeing of our players, coaches, referees, volunteers, supporters and the wider New Zealand community is our top priority. And, while this will be disappointing for many, postponing rugby for the time being is in everyone’s best interests. “Rugby plays an important role in New Zealand communities and at this time of uncertainty the postponement of rugby matches allows everyone to pause, and take care of themselves and their wha¯nau.
