Te mai nga pou o Te Whare Kohungahunga o Y Tamariki, Whakawhanaungatanga, Manaakitanga, Whakamana and Kotahitanga. We want to provide a bilingual curriculum that reflects our kaupapa o te whenua (place-based curriculum) while committed to te Tiriti o Waitangi.

We will provide a nurturing, caring environment supporting tamariki to be empowered to believe in themselves, as capable confident, and competent learners able to reach their potential.

Every tamaiti will be treated with aroha (love) and whakaute (respect).​​​​​​​

Kia whakapiki te taha hinengaro, te taha tinana, te taha wairua me te taha whatumanawa o ngā tamariki, ngā whānau me ngā kaiako katoa. (We will build strong mind, body, spirit, heart, and soul of our tamariki, our whānau, and our kaiako).

For all whānau at Y Tamariki to feel a sense of belonging, where there are respectful reciprocal relationships between kaiako, tamariki and whānau.

Kia kaha, kia māia, kia tū! He taonga tuku iho!

(Building strong tamariki to stand confidently for themselves, and each other, for they are our greatest treasure!)

Y Tamariki provides all meals for tamariki. Meals include morning and afternoon tea and a cooked lunch and fruit.

All meals are designed to meet the daily nutritional intake for tamariki and ensure that health options are utilised.

Dietary concerns and special meals can be made to cater for your tamaiti/tamariki, whanau needs and values.

Y Tamariki offers swimming lessons each term for tamariki from Te ruma Manaakitanga.

All ruma plan visits into the community to explore outside the centre so our tamariki have real knowledgeable learning experiences.

We have a van service available for morning pickup from 8:00–9:00am and afternoon drop off from 2:30–4:00pm. Tamariki must be within city limits and in booking for 30 hours per week. All enquiries at reception with Koka Morgan.
