Tahuna Te Kohanga Reo

Nestled in the heart of Bay of Plenty lies Tahuna Te Kohanga Reo - a vibrant, loving sanctuary for tamariki (children) from babies to school-age, where each child's unique mana (spirit) is nurtured and celebrated daily. Established with a vision to provide exceptional child care and education, Tahuna Te Kohanga Reo has been an integral part of our community for many years, offering more than just a kindergarten or daycare service. At Tahuna, every corner sparkles with the laughter and joy that fill these hallowed grounds. Our dedicated kaiako (teachers) are the heartbeat of our organization, their passion for mahi tapuhi (education) igniting the minds of tamariki each day. They foster a safe, caring environment where toddlers can take their first tentative steps towards independence while babies giggle and coo in comfort and security. But we're not just about academics - our whānau-centric approach ensures that the social, emotional, and physical wellbeing of every child is nurtured alongside their intellectual development. Here at Tahuna, children are encouraged to explore, discover, and express themselves through a myriad of creative avenues, from arts and crafts to music and dance. Within these walls, tamariki learn the importance of kotahitanga (unity), respect, and manaakitanga (hospitality) as they form lifelong friendships with their peers and develop strong relationships with our dedicated staff. We believe that every child is a taonga (treasure), and we are privileged to play a role in shaping the future of Bay of Plenty's tamariki. Tahuna Te Kohanga Reo - where aroha (love) meets mahi tapuhi, creating an environment that fosters curiosity, nurtures resilience, and inspires the next generation of visionaries and leaders in our beautiful community.
