About Te Timatanga Kohanga Reo

Te Timatanga Kohanga Reo is a childcare centre at 7 Berkeley Rd in Manurewa, Manukau, Auckland, with a Google rating of 5.0. Its name shows it is a kōhanga reo.

Kōhanga reo are Māori language nests, early childhood settings where tamariki are immersed in te reo Māori and tikanga, and where whānau are usually closely involved in running the centre and supporting learning. A good early childhood centre of any kind looks after children's wellbeing first, and builds language, play and confidence through a settled daily routine. When choosing, visit while children are there, notice how kaiako speak with them, and ask about enrolment, hours, fees and how whānau take part. It helps to ask what language support is available if te reo is new to your family. Regulars also check for any government funding for early childhood, and put their names down early, as places can fill quickly.

For whānau in Manurewa and across south Auckland, Te Timatanga Kohanga Reo on Berkeley Rd is a local early childhood option to visit and ask about.
