Te Kohanga Reo Ki Pikitia

Welcome to Te Kohanga Reo Ki Pikitia, nestled in the vibrant heart of Auckland, a unique childcare and education centre that has been cherishing young minds since time immemorial. Our name, translating to 'The Nest of Maori Language and Culture' in English, encapsulates our core values and mission - to provide an immersive, nurturing environment where the seeds of knowledge are sown and the roots of identity grow strong. From the tender age of zero, we welcome your child into a world enriched by the beauty of Maori language and culture. Each day is a new adventure, filled with joyful learning experiences designed to stimulate curiosity, foster creativity, and nurture the whole child - mind, body, and spirit. Our experienced teachers, passionate about their craft and deeply committed to our vision, guide each child through this journey of discovery, ensuring they are always challenged, always supported, and always encouraged to reach their full potential. At Te Kohanga Reo Ki Pikitia, we embrace a multicultural environment that reflects the rich tapestry of Auckland's society. Here, children from various backgrounds come together to learn, play, and grow side by side. This diverse setting offers invaluable opportunities for cross-cultural understanding, fostering respect, empathy, and appreciation for one another's unique heritages. Our centre is a certified 20 Hours ECE (Early Childhood Education) provider, ensuring that every child benefits from a high-quality educational experience that lays the foundation for lifelong learning. We offer care and education services for children aged between 0 and 5 years, catering to their evolving needs and milestones with tailored programmes and activities. As you walk through our doors, you'll feel a sense of warmth and belonging that sets us apart. Our centre is not just a building or an institution; it is a home away from home where the magic of childhood unfolds daily. We invite you to join our ohana (family), where love, respect, and aroha (compassion) are the cornerstones of everything we do. Step into Te Kohanga Reo Ki Pikitia, take a deep breath, and let your child's journey of growth, learning, and self-discovery begin. Together, as one big whānau (family), we will nurture the leaders, innovators, and dreamers of tomorrow, helping them leave their mark on the world with pride, purpose, and a deep love for Te Ao Māori - The Maori World.
