Takaputiraha Te Kohanga Reo

Nestled in the heart of Manawatu-Wanganui, Takaputiraha Te Kohanga Reo proudly stands as a beacon of nurturing, love, and learning for little ones aged 0 to 5 years old. Established with a vision to foster an environment that mirrors the warmth and richness of the Māori culture, our childcare and education center is more than just a kindergarten - it's a community, a family, a place where your tamariki can grow, learn, and thrive. At Takaputiraha Te Kohanga Reo, we believe in the power of immersion, using Te Reo Māori as our primary language to ensure that each child's mind is submerged in the rhythmic flow of our beautiful indigenous tongue. But we don't just teach the words; we instill a deep appreciation for Tikanga, the customs and traditions that make us who we are. Here, every day brings new opportunities to learn and explore our heritage, while fostering a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. Our approach is rooted in early childhood education (ECE), offering 20 hours ECE for eligible children, ensuring that each child receives the individual attention they need to grow and develop at their own pace. Our caring and dedicated team of kaiako are passionate about nurturing young minds, providing a nurturing environment where curiosity is encouraged and learning is an adventure. As you step through our doors, you'll be greeted by the laughter of children, the warmth of the whānau, and the scent of freshly baked kai from our very own kitchen. Here, your child isn't just another face in a crowd - they are a cherished member of our family, cared for with love and respect, every single day. So if you're looking for a place where your child can grow, learn, and thrive while being immersed in the beauty of Māori culture, look no further than Takaputiraha Te Kohanga Reo. Join our whānau today and embark on a journey of learning, love, and laughter with us.
