A little about us

Whanau Tree House: Bi-lingual Learning

Nature Play

We emphasize learning outside of the whare. Connecting with nature builds a sense of relationship and relatedness to te taiao.

Bi-lingual Learning

If our tamariki are immersed and nourished in the Māori language, they will ensure its survival.

Relationships

We value our relationships with our community and enjoy taking part in local events and going on outings.

Our Vision

E tipu e rea mō ngā rā o tō ao

Ko tō ringa ki ngā rākau a te Pākehā

Hei ora mō te tinana

Ko tō ngākau ki ngā taonga a ō tipuna Māori

Hei tikitiki mō tō māhunga.

Plant and nurture the seed in our tamariki in their early years, so they can grow to become confident contributors to society and embrace their cultural identity and whakapapa.

Our Mission

Our Mission - Whanau Tree House

Our mission is to provide a bilingual environment where our tamariki and staff feel inspired, confident, and empowered in who they are.

An environment that is culturally enriched, empowering, and safe where we strive to work in partnership with whānau, kaiako, and our community to develop a sense of belonging for our tamariki.
