Class Testimonial
What a fantastic time Sam had yesterday - thank you so much! From the moment we went in, it felt welcoming and a totally child lead experience where he was able to move freely to choose what he wanted to interact with beautiful materials and very relaxing - Sam is looking forward to the next session already! Thank you again, Shannan I will be recommending Māia to everybody with little people.
