Te Kohanga Reo O Opopoti

Nestled in the heart of the Bay of Plenty, Te Kohanga Reo O Opopoti is more than just a childcare center; it's a vibrant, nurturing, and enriching environment for tamariki (children) of all ages. Established with a vision to instill a deep love for learning and an unwavering respect for Te Ao Māori (the Māori world), we have been cultivating young minds since time immemorial. Our story began with a simple dream: to provide quality care and education that not only prepares our children for the future but also helps them thrive in their present. We believe that every child is unique, and it's our responsibility to help them discover their own talents, strengths, and passions. That's why we offer a diverse range of programs, from kindergarten to our 20 Hours ECE initiative, ensuring each child receives the attention they deserve. At Te Kohanga Reo O Opopoti, language is more than just words; it's a connection to culture and identity. Our immersion program in Te Kohanga Reo (Māori language nest) allows our tamariki to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Te Reo Māori and its accompanying customs, giving them a strong foundation for their future academic success. Our dedicated team of experienced teachers is committed to creating an engaging and stimulating learning environment that fosters curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. They are there to guide our tamariki through their journey, helping them navigate the complexities of the world with confidence, resilience, and a sense of wonder. As part of our community in the Bay of Plenty, we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of our children and their whānau (families). We believe that by nurturing strong, confident, and independent young minds, we are contributing to a brighter future for us all. So if you're seeking quality childcare and education in a warm, welcoming environment steeped in Māori language and culture, come and visit us at Te Kohanga Reo O Opopoti. We can't wait to welcome you into our whānau!
