Manawanui Te Kohanga Reo

Nestled in the heart of Wellington, Manawanui Te Kohanga Reo stands as a vibrant beacon for child care and education, fostering a nurturing environment that cherishes the unique potential within each tiny moko (child). Our mission is to provide a total immersion in te reo Māori (the Māori language) and tikanga Māori (Māori values), helping shape the minds of our next generation. At Manawanui Te Kohanga Reo, we believe in the power of early childhood education and its profound impact on a child's development. We cater to little ones from 0 to 5 years old, providing them with an enriching kindergarten experience that goes beyond academics. Our dedicated team of passionate kaiako (teachers) tailors their approach to each moko, ensuring they thrive in a holistic learning environment designed to nurture their curious minds and budding personalities. Our doors are wide open to the wider community, welcoming all whānau (families) who share our vision of providing the best possible start for our tamariki (children). We understand that each whānau is unique, and we encourage active involvement in the learning journey of your moko. Together with you, we celebrate milestones, overcome challenges, and create unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. We're proud to offer 20 hours of free early childhood education each week for eligible children aged 3+, as well as accepting WINZ subsidies to make quality education accessible for all. Here at Manawanui Te Kohanga Reo, we don't just educate; we empower the future leaders of Aotearoa with the knowledge, confidence, and cultural identity they need to conquer their dreams. So, if you're seeking a child care and education center that genuinely cares for your moko, embraces your whānau, and celebrates te ao Māori (the Māori world), we invite you to join us at Manawanui Te Kohanga Reo – a place where the spirit of our tūpuna (ancestors) thrives, and the future flourishes.
