Early Childhood in Wairoa

Maramahatea Te Kohanga REO is an early childhood service located in Wairoa, Hawke's Bay. Kohanga Reo are Māori language immersion nests, designed to revitalise and maintain the Māori language and culture for future generations. They provide a nurturing environment where young children can learn and grow through play, guided by experienced kaiako (teachers). This approach fosters strong connections to whakapapa (genealogy) and tikanga (customs), supporting the holistic development of tamariki (children). The service operates within the local community, contributing to the vibrancy of Wairoa.
