Welcome to Rukumoana Kohanga Reo, an esteemed establishment and point of interest nestled in the heart of Morrinsville, New Zealand. Located on the scenic Morrinsville-Walton Road, our school stands as a beacon of early childhood education and cultural preservation.

At Rukumoana Kohanga Reo, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and immersive learning environment that celebrates the rich Māori culture and language. As an esteemed Kohanga Reo, we are committed to fostering a strong sense of identity, belonging, and language acquisition for our tamariki (children).

Our institution is uniquely designed to cater to children aged from birth to six years old, offering a comprehensive early childhood education curriculum. We believe in the power of play-based learning, allowing our tamariki to explore, discover, and develop their natural curiosity in a safe and supportive environment.

Our passionate and qualified teachers are fluent in te reo Māori and possess a deep understanding of Māori customs, traditions, and values. They skillfully incorporate these elements into our daily activities, songs, stories, and interactions, ensuring that our tamariki are immersed in a culturally rich and authentic experience.

At Rukumoana Kohanga Reo, we understand the importance of holistic development. We aim to nurture the physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth of each child, equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in their future educational journey.

Our spacious and purpose-built facilities provide ample opportunities for outdoor exploration and engagement with nature. Our tamariki can enjoy a wide range of activities, including gardening, arts and crafts, music, and physical play, fostering a love for the environment and a sense of connection to the world around them.

Parents and whānau (family) are an integral part of our community, and we encourage open communication and collaboration. We value the unique perspectives and contributions that each whānau brings, as they play an active role in their child's learning journey.

Conveniently located in the scenic town of Morrinsville, our institution is easily accessible and surrounded by natural beauty. We invite you to visit and experience the warm and inclusive atmosphere that Rukumoana Kohanga Reo offers, where your child's cultural identity and educational growth are nurtured with care and respect.
