Te Puna Reo o Ngāti Toa
Kia Toa, kia rere, kia Māori
Whakataukī
Ka whakanunua te tamaiti ki te aroha
Ka whāngaia te hinengaro ki te wairua o ngā tūpuna
Whītikingia ia ki tōna turangawaewae
Ka whakaritea ana ki whakamua
Ka puāwai te katoa
Nā Tā Matiu Rei

Ka tū pakari ngā tamariki, ka matatau hoki i te ao māori me te ao hurihuri. Kia whakaako I ngā tamariki ki te whakapapa me ngā kōrero tuku iho o te iwi o Ngāti Toa, kia mōhio hoki te tamaiti ki tōna ao, te ao Māori.
Te Puna Reo o Ngāti Toa is a total immersion Early Childcare Centre that was established to enable our tamariki, mokopuna from the ages of 0-5 with the fundamental values and knowledge to help further their education in Te Ao Māori.
We are licensed to provide services for up to 50 tamariki.
Our Puna has two buildings which allows us to specifically design each area tailoring to their age group. The Whare Pēpi is for our under 2 year olds, and the Whare Tuakana is for tamariki aged two and over.
Te Puna Reo o Ngāti Toa operates five days a week Monday to Friday,7am-5:30pm. Te Puna closes all public holidays, however we will remain open during all school term breaks.
