About A2Z Montessori

A2Z Montessori was set up by Juanita Benson in 2007.  Juanita lived with her family in China for 9 years prior to her move to New Zealand and was involved in the manufacturing of wooden toys and educational equipment specializing in teaching aids.

Being fluent in Mandarin and well versed in the Chinese culture, Juanita participated in the setting up of a number of kindergartens while living in China. She also set up a quality control company which guaranties the quality of all her product imports to New Zealand. Her experience in education and teaching aid manufacturing along with her interest in making Montessori classroom equipment more affordable with a view to encourage their expansion has been the driving force behind the setting up of A2Z Montessori.

"The information and emotions our very young children take in and develop are the framework of the future we are building. This is one of the only really vital prints we will leave for generations to come. The 2 main role players at this vitally important developmental stage are the Parents and Teachers. Their joint efforts in facilitating the appropriate learning process for young children is one of the most crucial pivoting points of humanity. 
Maria Montessori's lifetime work and great understanding of learning patterns in children’s early years has proven to achieve great results. 
It is now up to those who realize the vital responsibility we hold to put it to the very best use we can."
