Rahui Pokeka Te Kohanga Reo

Nestled in the heart of Waikato, Rahui Pokeka Te Kohanga Reo stands as a vibrant beacon for Māori early childhood education, where young minds flourish and hearts connect. Established with the belief that every child deserves to grow within a rich cultural tapestry, we have been a cherished part of our community for decades, nurturing the next generation since [founding date]. Stepping into our kohanga reo, you'll be greeted by the melodious hum of children, their voices infused with joy as they play and learn. Here, in this full-immersion Māori language environment, little ones are immersed in a world where te reo Māori flows effortlessly, weaving together stories of our people, our history, and our values. Beyond the nurturing of young minds, we strive to instill a deep understanding of tikanga and kawa, the cultural practices that bind us as a people. Our teachers are not just educators, but kaitiaki – guardians who guide each child along their unique path towards self-discovery, empowering them to embrace their identity with pride. At Rahui Pokeka Te Kohanga Reo, we believe in the power of community engagement. We invite parents and whānau (extended family) to join us in our learning journeys, sharing stories, knowledge, and wisdom that enrich our collective understanding. Together, we create a nurturing environment where every child feels loved, supported, and valued. Our doors are open to children aged 0-5 years, welcoming them into an enriching world of discovery and learning. From the first steps in te ao Māori (the Māori world) to the development of their cognitive skills, we strive to ensure that each child is nurtured holistically – mind, body, and spirit. Come, join us at Rahui Pokeka Te Kohanga Reo, where every day is a celebration of our culture, our language, and our people. Together, let's weave a brighter future for our tamariki (children) and our community.
