Tuporo Tuhikiterangi Kohanga Reo

Nestled in the heart of Bay of Plenty, Tuporo Tuhikiterangi Kohanga Reo has been a vibrant beacon of learning, nurturing, and growth for over two decades. Our name, rooted in the Maori language, symbolizes the intertwining of the stars and sky, reflecting our commitment to illuminating the minds of tamariki (children) as they journey through early childhood education and care. At Tuporo Tuhikiterangi Kohanga Reo, we believe that every child is a taonga (treasure), and our role is to help them unfold their unique potential. We do this by providing an immersive environment where te reo Maori (the Maori language) forms the foundation of communication, fostering a strong connection to our rich cultural heritage. Through writing, spelling, reading, and play, we instill in our tamariki a deep love for learning that will last a lifetime. We are more than just a childcare center; we are an extended whanau (family), welcoming not only the children but their whanau too. We understand that the best outcomes for our tamariki come from strong partnerships with their families, and so we strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and involved. At Tuporo Tuhikiterangi Kohanga Reo, we don't just educate; we inspire. We ignite curiosity, fuel imagination, and encourage exploration. Our early childhood education program is designed to nurture the whole child - mind, body, and spirit - providing a solid foundation for their future success in life. So, whether you're seeking a place where your child can learn te reo Maori, immerse themselves in cultural education, or simply thrive in a loving and supportive environment, we invite you to join our whanau at Tuporo Tuhikiterangi Kohanga Reo. Together, we will embark on an incredible journey of discovery, growth, and learning - one that will leave lasting memories for years to come.
