Te Kohanga Reo Tauranga Moana

Nestled in the heart of Bay of Plenty, Te Kohanga Reo Tauranga Moana is a vibrant haven for young minds to bloom and grow. Established over three decades ago, we have been cultivating a love for learning among our tamariki (children) in an environment steeped in Māori language immersion and rich cultural education. Stepping into our kohanga reo (nursery), you'll be greeted by the melodious sound of te reo Māori, the warm smiles of our dedicated kaiako (teachers) and the joyous laughter of our tamariki as they explore, play, and learn together. Our mission is to provide a nurturing environment where each child can develop their unique potential while learning the values, traditions, and language of their Māori heritage. At Te Kohanga Reo Tauranga Moana, we firmly believe that parental involvement is key to our children's success. We work closely with our whanau (families) to create strong partnerships that support the holistic development of each child. By sharing stories, values, and traditions, we strive to create a sense of belonging, fostering confidence and resilience in our tamariki as they embark on their educational journey. As part of our commitment to quality early childhood education, we offer programs that cater to the needs of children aged from infancy to school-entry age. Our Kindergarten program is designed to prepare children for a smooth transition into formal schooling, providing them with essential life skills and a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy. Beyond academics, we also place great emphasis on physical activity, creativity, and emotional wellbeing. Our outdoor spaces are designed to inspire exploration and discovery, while our arts and crafts activities help our tamariki express their unique talents and ideas. At Te Kohanga Reo Tauranga Moana, we cherish the opportunity to guide your child as they grow and learn. We invite you to join us on this remarkable journey, where laughter, learning, and cultural richness are woven into the fabric of every day. Aroha nui (love and affection) awaits at Te Kohanga Reo Tauranga Moana.
