Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Horomaka o Te Huruhuru
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Horomaka o Te Huruhuru is a nurturing kaupapa Māori early learning environment where tamariki are immersed in te reo Māori, tikanga Māori, and the values of whānau, aroha, and manaakitanga.
Our kōhanga is a place where children are encouraged to grow with confidence, curiosity, and a strong sense of identity and belonging. Through language, culture, waiata, play, and connection, we support our tamariki to thrive as proud descendants of their whakapapa.
We believe learning begins within the warmth of whānau and community, and we welcome all who are committed to supporting the revitalisation of te reo Māori and the wellbeing of our tamariki.
