Te Ngakau Mahana Kohanga Reo

In the heart of Auckland, nestled amongst the vibrant pulse of our city, lies Te Ngakau Mahana Kohanga Reo – a beacon of Māori language and culture, illuminating the lives of countless tamariki (children) since our inception. Here, within our child care and education centre, we provide more than just early childhood education; we offer an immersive environment where te reo Māori thrives, woven into every corner and moment of our day. As you step through our whare (building), you are greeted by the warm, infectious laughter of tamariki at play – a testament to the joy and learning that fills each day here. Our child care centre caters to all ages, from the smallest kei to the eldest rākau, ensuring that every child receives the care and education they need to grow and thrive. We're proud to participate in the 20 hours free education scheme for eligible children over 3 years old, making quality early childhood education accessible to more families. At Te Ngakau Mahana Kohanga Reo, we believe that every child is a unique tapestry waiting to be woven with knowledge, experiences, and love. Our kaiako (teachers) guide our tamariki on their journey of discovery, fostering an environment that encourages curiosity, resilience, and respect for one another. Through total immersion in te reo Māori, our children learn more than just a language – they develop a connection to their heritage, a sense of belonging, and a deep appreciation for the rich culture that surrounds them. We invite you to join us on this incredible voyage of discovery, where each day brings new opportunities for learning, growth, and laughter. Te Ngakau Mahana Kohanga Reo – a child care and education centre like no other, where Māori language and culture thrive, and every child is cherished as a precious gift to be nurtured and guided on their unique path towards success.
