Samoa Taumafai Aoga Amata is a well-established Samoan bilingual service. It is located on the grounds of the Samoa Community Welfare building in Tokoroa. The licence has recently been increased to provide all-day care and education for 34 children, including up to 12 aged under two years of age. Samoan children make up 40 percent of the roll. A further 40 percent are Māori or from other Pacific groups.
The aoga philosophy promotes Samoan culture, language and beliefs. It emphasises respectful practices, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and the principles of Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum.
Infants and toddlers have dedicated learning spaces, resources and teaching staff. The different age groups regularly spend time together in mixed play and during routines.
