Kokohinau Kohanga Reo

Welcome to Kokohinau Kohanga Reo, nestled in the heart of Bay of Plenty - a beacon of warmth, love, and education for our tamariki (children) since time immemorial. Here, we've cultivated an environment that seamlessly blends child care, early childhood education, and kindergarten, all within the nurturing embrace of Te Reo Māori immersion and a deep-rooted respect for Māori culture. Stepping into our whare (building), you'll find a vibrant tapestry woven from the laughter and joy of our young learners, their voices echoing the melodies of traditional Māori songs as they engage in a myriad of learning experiences. Our dedicated teachers, who are more like whānau (family), guide each kei aku ringa (hand in yours) through this enriching journey, instilling a love for learning and fostering social development that transcends the classroom. At Kokohinau Kohanga Reo, we believe that education is not just about academics; it's about shaping well-rounded individuals who are equipped to navigate the world with confidence and compassion. We actively encourage whānau involvement, recognizing the pivotal role you play in your child's growth. Together, we create a collaborative learning environment where every voice matters, nurturing the potential within each of our tamariki. We are not just a child care and education center; we are a living testament to the rich heritage and values of Te Ao Māori (the Māori world). Here, every day is filled with opportunities for growth, exploration, and connection, ensuring that our tamariki grow up rooted in their culture while prepared for the future. So, if you seek an educational experience that nurtures your child's spirit, mind, and heart, we invite you to join us at Kokohinau Kohanga Reo, where the warmth of Bay of Plenty welcomes each new face with open arms.
