Whakakitenga | Our Vision: to be a respected leader in early childhood education and a strong advocate for tamariki and whānau
Whānau Manaaki kindergartens bring learning, connection and fun to whānau across Aotearoa.
Whānau Manaaki is a non-profit association providing free early childhood education and community services for whānau across Aotearoa. We offer high-quality teaching and learning with our 100% qualified and registered kindergarten teachers and our skilled and trained educators.
Whānau Manaaki provides administrative, management and property management support to over 100 kindergartens across Aotearoa, supporting educational leadership and professional development to over 800 teaching staff and educators.
A focus on innovation and excellence supports our teachers and educators to provide for the needs of children and their families.
Around 5000 tamariki are enrolled in our kindergartens, and over 80 children are enrolled with our Pasifika-focused Etu Ao home-based services.
Whānau Manaaki children get a great start to their formal education in a caring community environment. Each kindergarten offers its own individual programme, created around community interests along with Te Whāriki - New Zealand's early childhood curriculum.
At Aramoho Kindergarten we celebrate the diversity of cultures and work in partnership with our community. We offer a spacious outdoor environment, and we love the performing arts- dance, mime, music, visual arts, creative movement and storytelling!
