Te Puawaitanga Ki Manurewa Te Kohanga Reo

Welcome to Te Puawaitanga Ki Manurewa Te Kohanga Reo, nestled in the vibrant heart of Auckland's Region. For over two decades, we have been a cherished beacon of childcare and education, nurturing the future generations of Aotearoa. Our mission is to provide an exceptional early childhood experience rooted in the rich Māori language and culture, while ensuring each child reaches their full potential in a loving and stimulating environment. As you step into our Kohanga Reo, you'll be greeted by the warmth of Whānau (family) and Tamariki (children), who form the heart of our community. From tender Infants to confident 5-year-olds, we cater to a diverse age range, ensuring every child experiences growth at their own pace. Our commitment to Total Immersion in Māori Language and Culture is woven into every aspect of our day, from playtime to mealtime, fostering a deep connection to Aotearoa's indigenous heritage. Our approach aligns with Te Whāriki a te Kōhanga Reo Curriculum, ensuring each child's unique mana (spirit) flourishes through holistic learning experiences. We believe that every child is an active contributor to their world and encourage exploration, curiosity, and self-expression at every turn. In partnership with our Whānau, we work tirelessly to create a supportive, inclusive environment where tamariki can thrive. We are proud to offer eligible children 20 Hours ECE (Early Childhood Education), making quality education more accessible for our community. Our dedicated team of Kaiako (teachers) and Whaea Kararatanga (leaders) bring passion, expertise, and a deep commitment to the wellbeing and development of each child in their care. At Te Puawaitanga Ki Manurewa Te Kohanga Reo, we are more than just a childcare center—we are an extension of your Whānau, a place where Tamariki grow, learn, and thrive as valued members of our community. Join us in celebrating the richness of Māori language and culture, while providing your precious Tamariki with a solid foundation for their future. Come visit us today—we can't wait to meet you!
