Story

Tēna koutou katoa,

Here is a little description of our beautiful Kōhanga Reo,
Te Kōhanga Reo o Kiwitoa.

We have been open since 1986 and we have recently celebrated our 30th Birthday this year.

We are very lucky to have our Kuia, who is the poutokomanawa of not only our Kōhanga Reo but other’s as well. She is full of so much knowledge and aroha for our beautiful Reo and the Ao Māori.
We have 3 Kaimahi who teach and nurture the kids under the Kaupapa of Te Kōhanga Reo.
Our Kaiwhakahaere is here also, to help guide the whānau with any questions or anything relating to the running of the Kōhanga Reo.

Our Kōhanga Reo was opened to help mokopuna, whānau, hapu and iwi to learn our beautiful reo and the knowledge of the Ao Māori, which has been gifted to us from our Tīpuna.

We are not here to judge, we are only here to help you and your child/children in learning te reo Māori, ngā Tikanga Māori me ngā Kaupapa Māori and be able to stand tall and proud.

We also have Te Ataarangi classes for anyone of any culture who wants to learn to speak te reo Māori.
Classes are on Wednesday nights from 6.00pm to 8.00pm every week.
Just a koha a class :)

So don’t be shy, come in, say Kia Ora and browse around our beautiful whare with an open mind and an open heart.
If you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to ask.
Ask and you shall receive.

“Mau te Aroha”
