As SAMA President this is a proud moment for me, I value sharing knowledge and insights and giving back to my Montessori community. Working on putting this conference together with my ExCo is a time to value the work we do and focus on becoming more knowledgeable and expert in our field - for the benefit of all the children we teach.   I felt so refreshed and enthused after immersing myself in the latest Montessori best practice and connecting with inspiring professionals. Ready to tackle new challenges with renewed energy and share the learning with my teaching team.
