Ata Marie Te Kohanga Reo

In the heart of the verdant Waikato region, nestled amidst a tapestry of vibrant communities, lies Ata Marie Te Kohanga Reo - a haven designed with the tender hearts and curious minds of our tamariki at its core. Since our inception, we've been dedicated to providing an exceptional child care and education experience that mirrors the richness of Aotearoa's culture. Our story began when a group of passionate educators, inspired by the spirit of manaakitanga, decided to create a space where children could grow, learn, and thrive under the gentle guidance of our dedicated teachers. We are more than just a child care center or a kindergarten; we are a kohanga reo, a nurturing nest that cradles the development of our tamariki from their earliest days. We believe in the power of play as a catalyst for learning and growth. Our spacious, child-friendly environment is filled with engaging activities designed to stimulate the minds of our babes and toddlers, fostering a love for discovery that will last a lifetime. From exploring the wonders of sand and water tables, to delving into the pages of captivating storybooks, every day at Ata Marie Te Kohanga Reo is an adventure waiting to unfold. But we don't just stop at play. Our commitment to education extends beyond the classroom walls, as we strive to instill in our children a deep sense of respect for te ao Māori and a profound appreciation for our unique New Zealand heritage. Through song, dance, and the sharing of traditional tales, we celebrate the rich tapestry that makes up who we are, ensuring our tamariki grow with a strong understanding of their identity and place in the world. At Ata Marie Te Kohanga Reo, we don't just look after your child - we care for them as if they were our own. We nurture, guide, and encourage each one to be the best version of themselves, instilling values such as kindness, respect, and resilience that will serve them well throughout their lives. So, if you're seeking a warm, welcoming environment where your child can grow, learn, and thrive, come and join our ohana at Ata Marie Te Kohanga Reo. We can't wait to embark on this incredible journey with you and your precious one.
