Our bilingual educators are not just teachers; they are guides, mentors, and friends, fostering a close-knit bond with each child in our care. Through this deep connection, we create a safe and supportive space where children feel confident to explore, learn, and grow. At Te Kohanga Reo Tauranga Moana, we celebrate the diversity of our community, embracing the rich tapestry of cultures that make up the Bay of Plenty. However, at our core, we remain firmly rooted in the values and teachings of Maori culture, passing on traditions and stories to ensure they live on for generations to come. So, whether you're seeking a kindergarten for your baby's first steps or a place where your toddler can grow into a confident, curious learner, look no further than Te Kohanga Reo Tauranga Moana. Here, we don't just educate children; we empower them to dream, create, and shape their own extraordinary stories within the beautiful Bay of Plenty.
