He Kakano Early Learning Centre

He Kaakano is an established early childhood learning centre offering quality care and education to the community with an emphasis on supporting tamariki of young parents.  We operate a roll of 12 pepi under the age of two and 24 tamariki over the age of two which ensures we provide excellent staff to child ratios for the delivery of the quality care that all our tamariki deserve.

The centre is managed by a community and not-for-profit Trust called Te Ora Hou Northland Inc. We encourage families/whānau to be actively involved in the daily routines of the Centre.
