Ra-itu Koanga Reo

Ra-itu Koanga Reo is an early childhood centre connected to the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Tokoroa, South Waikato. It is governed by a management committee, which includes church and parent representatives as well as centre staff.

The koanga is licensed for 27 children, including up to ten infants and toddlers, who share the learning space with older children. Most of the children enrolled are Cook Islands Māori. The koanga's philosophy is based on Cook Islands Māori culture and language, and Christian values.

The service provides meals several times a week, with a strong focus on healthy eating. Children also bring lunches from home.
