Horohoro Kohanga Reo

Welcome to Horohoro Kohanga Reo, nestled in the heart of Bay of Plenty, where we've been nurturing young minds since time immemorial. Our child care and education center is more than just a kindergarten; it's a vibrant, culturally rich ecosystem that cherishes and celebrates each tiny footprint that enters our doors. Stepping into Horohoro Kohanga Reo is like stepping into a whirlwind of color, laughter, and the melodious sound of the Maori language. We are deeply rooted in early childhood education, but our ethos extends far beyond academics. Here, we nurture the whole child—their mind, body, and spirit—in an immersive environment that fosters cultural pride and respect for Aotearoa's rich tapestry. Our dedicated teachers are not just educators; they are mentors, friends, and extended whanau to each child in our care. They are the architects of our children's first steps towards independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love for learning. Each day, our classrooms echo with stories told around the fire, songs sung under the stars, and games played on verdant fields—a testament to our commitment to early childhood education that is steeped in tradition yet contemporary in its approach. But Horohoro Kohanga Reo is more than just a place for toddlers. We are a community of learners, growing together, sharing dreams, and crafting the future. We invite you to join us on this journey, where every day brings a new opportunity to grow, to explore, and to experience the magic that unfolds within these hallowed walls. Horohoro Kohanga Reo—where the seeds of a brighter tomorrow are sown today, in the warmth of cultural education and the cradle of early childhood care.
