About Te Kōhanga Reo
Te Kōhanga Reo centres are Māori immersion environments committed to the revitalisation of te reo Māori, with learning led by whānau and grounded in kaupapa Māori. They cater to families who want their tamariki fully immersed in Māori language and cultural practices, fostering strong identity, confidence, and intergenerational language transmission.
What Is 20 Hours ECE funding?
20 Hours ECE is a government-funded initiative that helps reduce the cost of early childhood education for families with tamariki aged 3–5. Eligible children can receive up to 20 hours of funded care and education each week at participating services. Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees. If you are unsure how this works at Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Hiku o Te Ika, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Another beautiful place in the farnorth.”
“This year, our friend has been praying and searching for her whakapapa connections and freshly discovering her identity as Māori. She found out that she was from Te Hiku O Te Ika Marae and we decided to take her back there. We didn't tell anyone and just showed up. The whānau there welcomed us and showed us nothing but love and manaaki the whole way. They did a little karakia and whakatau for her, and welcomed her back home, even those this was her first time there. It was so beautiful. They gave us a kai and took us up to the urupā and she found all of her tūpuna in the urupā. Brought us to tears. She is Ngāti Kurī through her mum's line, but she passed away 4 years ago, so this gave her a connection to her mum that she's never had before. She's the first from her family in 2 generations that has returned back to her Marae. It was definitely a wairua thing. We will forever be grateful. Ka nui te aroha ki a koutou ❤️”
