Te Hauora Kohanga Reo O Oparure

Nestled in the heart of Waikato, Te Hauora Kohanga Reo Oparure proudly stands as a beacon of education and care for our tamariki (children) from birth to six years old. Established with a vision to instill a love for learning and respect for te reo Māori language and tikanga culture, we are more than just a childcare centre or kindergarten - we're a vibrant, total immersion te reo Māori environment where each child is nurtured in a whānau (family) atmosphere. From the moment you step into our pēpi-friendly spaces, you'll be greeted with warmth and aloha, feeling the palpable sense of manaakitanga (hospitality). Our dedicated kaiako (teachers) work tirelessly to ensure each child is empowered to reach their full potential, providing a curriculum that not only fosters intellectual growth but also nurtures emotional and social development. Our philosophy revolves around the belief that every child is unique and deserves a supportive learning environment where they can explore, create, and grow at their own pace. We firmly believe that education is a collaborative effort between us, the kaiako, and you, the whānau. Our doors are always open for conversations, sharing insights, and working together to help your child thrive. In Te Hauora Kohanga Reo Oparure, we strive to create an environment that reflects the beauty of Aotearoa and the richness of our Māori culture. Here, tamariki learn te reo Māori not as a subject but as a living language, immersed in its rhythm and cadence. Through storytelling, waiata (songs), haka, and other cultural practices, we aim to instill a deep-rooted appreciation for the history and values that make our people unique. Join us at Te Hauora Kohanga Reo Oparure, where learning is an adventure, culture is celebrated, and tamariki are cherished as precious taonga (treasures). Together, we'll build a foundation for your child's future success, grounded in the principles of love, respect, and manaakitanga. Welcome to our whānau!
