I have been teaching Montessori since 2000 and have run my own preschool since 2006 , specialising in 2 to 4 year old children.I live in Harare, Zimbabwe and am looking to relocate. I would be very grateful if you could please let me know of any vacancies or opportunities to teach anywhere in Hawaai
