Mana Montessori serves children and families from throughout the Porirua Basin.  Mana Montessori opened on 21 May 1990.  Since January 1999 Mana Montessori has operated in its own two-classroom building on land leased from the Porirua City Council in Albatross Close, Whitby in a lovely sunny spot beside Endeavour Park.  We are able to offer spacious and attractive classroom spaces that can accommodate up to 25 children in each carefully prepared classroom.

Mana Montessori is run by a dedicated committee of parents keen to ensure the best use is made of these wonderful facilities for the benefit not only of their own children but for all the other children and families here.  The committee employs an excellent team of trained and experienced teachers.  The teachers and parent committee work together to ensure that the school offers a high standard of education, and truly reflects the spirit and philosophy of Maria Montessori and her love and respect for children.
