Busy Bees Educational Childcare Centre Dannevirke
Our Story:
A Dannevirke based mother passionate about early childhood education had a vision to create truly exceptional and unique learning for tamariki to learn, grow, discover and develop in a home away from home setting. That was the beginning of Busy Bees in 1998.
At Busy Bees our aim is to ensure tamariki, kaiako, parents, whānau and leaders will collaborate to co-design an exceptional programme with the same goal in mind: children who are comfortable in their surroundings, happy in their play and confident in their learning.
Location & Parking:
We are located at 241 High Street. We have off-street parking available for drop offs and pickups. Please drive carefully when using our driveway and look out for children. When using the main entrance, you can either go left to the locker room and office or right and go straight into the centre. Please ensure all gates are closed behind you and that you are not letting any other children out when you leave.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Taniwaka
Te Kōhanga Reo
The kōhanga reo movement is a unique initiative based on total immersion in Māori language and values with the aim of passing on Māori culture to future generations.
Kōhanga reo emphasise the revitalisation of the culture through te reo Māori and are dependent on the active participation of the whole whānau. The kaupapa of kōhanga reo aims to strengthen whānau capabilities in cultural, social, economic, spiritual and political matters. Education, health and wellbeing are inherent within all aspects of the kaupapa. The prime focus is the whānau – its collective development, growth, accountability and wellbeing set within a Māori cultural context.
Kōhanga reo do not regard tamariki in isolation, but as important members of the whānau. The kōhanga reo philosophy is that tamariki will benefit when whānau successfully operate according to the kaupapa. Tamariki are an integral part of whānau development.
The following key goals are the foundation of te kōhanga reo kaupapa established in 1982:
- total immersion in te reo Māori me ōna tikanga in daily operations
- whānau decision-making, management and responsibility
- accountability
- health and wellbeing of mokopuna and whānau.
The key goals of te kōhanga reo assure that there will be:
- security in te reo Māori
- a supportive, caring environment for mokopuna
- whānau (collective) sharing of responsibilities, knowledge and expertise
- greater respect and appreciation of each other.
