Rangi AmokuraTe Kohanga Reo

Welcome to Rangi Amokura Te Kohanga Reo, nestled in the heart of Waikato, where we nurture the minds, hearts, and spirits of tamariki (children) from all ages, embracing the unique blend of childcare, education, and cultural immersion that defines us. Established with a vision to uphold the richness of Māori language and tradition, our kohanga reo (language nest) has been a beacon of early childhood education for many years, providing an enriching environment where te reo Māori (the Māori language) thrives, and tikanga Māori (Māori cultural practices) are woven into the fabric of daily life. As you step through our whare (house), you'll be greeted by the laughter and joy that fill our rooms, each a testament to our commitment to providing a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for every child. Our dedicated kaiako (teachers) are passionate about cultivating inquisitive minds, fostering creativity, and instilling a love for learning that will last a lifetime. We believe strongly in the role of whānau (family) in a child's education, and we actively encourage their involvement in our kohanga reo. Whether it's through sharing traditions, assisting with projects, or simply spending time together at play, we see our partnership with whānau as essential to the growth and development of our tamariki. But we're more than just a kindergarten. We're a community. A whānau. And as part of that whānau, your child will embark on a journey of discovery, learning, and growth that goes far beyond the classroom. They'll learn about themselves, their culture, and their place in the world, all while making lifelong friendships and memories. So if you're seeking a nurturing, supportive, and culturally enriching environment for your child, we invite you to come and visit us at Rangi Amokura Te Kohanga Reo. Here, our tamariki are not just learning – they're thriving. They're growing. And they're shaping the future of Waikato one joyful, laughter-filled day at a time.
