Nga Tikanga Pono T K R

Nga Tikanga Pono T K R - nestled in the heart of Auckland, is a vibrant mosaic of love, learning, and culture. Established with a vision to empower young minds, we are more than just a Child Care and Education centre; we're a haven where Te Kohanga Reo philosophy thrives, nurturing babies and toddlers in the warmth of the Māori language immersion preschool environment. From our humble beginnings, we've grown into a cherished community where every child is valued, respected, and encouraged to explore their potential. Our team of dedicated teachers, passionate about early childhood education, work tirelessly to create engaging learning experiences that inspire curiosity and foster a lifelong love for knowledge. At Nga Tikanga Pono T K R, we believe in the power of play as the cornerstone of child development. We provide a safe, stimulating environment where babies and toddlers can learn through play, building essential skills that prepare them for school and life beyond. Our outdoor spaces are designed to inspire creativity and promote physical activity, while our indoor areas are filled with resources that support structured play, helping children develop their cognitive, emotional, social, and physical abilities. We are proud of our rich cultural heritage and strive to instil a deep sense of identity and pride in each child who walks through our doors. By immersing our tamariki (children) in the Māori language, we ensure they develop a strong foundation in te reo Māori and tikanga Māori (Māori customs). This cultural immersion not only enriches their lives but also helps them build strong connections with their whanau (extended family), hapū (tribes), and iwi (tribal groups). Nga Tikanga Pono T K R is more than a Child Care and Education centre; we are a home away from home, a place where love, learning, and culture intertwine to create a nurturing environment that shapes the future leaders of Aotearoa. Come join our family and witness the magic unfold as we guide your little ones on their journey of discovery and growth.
