Te Kohanga Reo O Te Hikuwai

Nestled in the heart of Bay of Plenty, Te Kohanga Reo O Te Hikuwai stands as a vibrant, loving haven for the young minds of tomorrow. Established with the vision to foster growth and nurture curiosity, our child care and education centre has been a cherished cornerstone of the community for many years, offering a full-day education and care service for children from toddlers to kindergarten age. Our story begins with a deep-rooted respect for the power of early childhood education and the understanding that these formative years are crucial in shaping our future generations. We believe in providing an environment where each child can blossom at their own pace, encouraged by our dedicated teachers who nurture their development holistically – mind, body, and spirit. At Te Kohanga Reo O Te Hikuwai, we proudly embrace the richness of Maori language and culture, weaving it seamlessly into our daily routines and activities. Our bilingual approach is designed to not only enrich our children's lives but also to preserve and promote the unique heritage that makes Aotearoa so special. We offer the 20 Hours Free Education for children over the age of three, ensuring that every family has access to quality care and education. Our facilities are thoughtfully designed to be a home away from home – warm, welcoming spaces where laughter, learning, and adventure go hand in hand. We take great pride in our clean, safe, and stimulating environment, which inspires curiosity and invites exploration at every turn. Every day at Te Kohanga Reo O Te Hikuwai is a new opportunity for growth, learning, and discovery. Our doors are open to families who share our vision of nurturing the next generation with love, respect, and a commitment to excellence in early childhood education. Join us on this exciting journey as we create memories, build foundations, and shape futures together in the beautiful Bay of Plenty.
