About Us
We are committed to providing a culture that loves and values the uniqueness of each child, embracing their individuality but simultaneously acknowledging the importance of relationships and social interaction with their peers. We will vigorously support initiatives that promote their safety and overall well-being within a culturally sensitive and appropriate environment
TE TŪĀPAPA O TAMARAU
Our Centre Philosophy
Our core belief is that tamariki are a taonga from God; nurtured within the korowai of their tīpuna and whānau and empowered to flourish in all facets of their being; ā-wairua, ā-tinana, ā-whatumanawa, ā-hinengaro.
Kaiako will partner with whānau to provide a bilingual learning environment that offers authentic
opportunities to learn together through the integrated use of te reo and tikanga Māori.

Our Principles

Relationships
Children thrive in high-trust relationships that are fostered through respectful, meaningful and responsive interactions.
Collaboration with whānau is essential to achieving the best possible outcomes for tamariki.

An educator, mother, grandmother and dedicated advocate for both Kōhanga Reo and Special Needs Education.
The baby nestled at her feet symbolises the multitude of children she nurtured and sheltered, and the children we continue to care for.
