Te Puna Reo o Te Waonui a Tāne is a full-immersion te reo Māori early learning centre at 37 Cleveland Street in Brooklyn, Wellington. It welcomes children aged 0 to 6, and it is run by Busy Bees. The centre's programme is grounded in Te Ara Māori, a te ao Māori pathway within Te Whāriki, and te reo Māori is used across the day. Nature is central to the learning, with children encouraged to build a relationship with Papatūānuku and learn kaitiakitanga. The website says the centre offers 20 hours of ECE funding and nature-based education.
The centre welcomes all families, whatever their whakapapa or starting point in te ao Māori, and it supports whānau to grow in their bicultural confidence. Care routines such as nappy changing, kai, dressing and sleep are treated as times for one-to-one connection and learning.
