Kua rangonahia te kōrero a te tini me te mano tae noa ki ēnei rā, ko te kōhanga reo tētahi o ngā tino kaupapa rangatira o Aotearoa nei.

Ko te Kaupapa o Te Kōhanga Reo ko tā te Māori tirohanga ki te Ao. Ko ana whāinga mā te hunga ngākaunui mai, ko te whakarauora i te reo, ko te whakatinana i te reo me ngā tikanga, ko te whakatairanga i ngā āhuatanga Māori kī ngā wāhi katoa.

Kei te wāhi Hītori a Te Kōhanga Reo ētahi whakamārama.

Nō reira nā te aha i tū ai ngā Kōhanga Reo?

Nā te manawanui, nā te manawa tītī kia tipu ake ā tātou tamariki, mōkopuna ki te ao Māori te reo Māori anō hoki.

Huri te wā huri ngā tau, ko Te Kōhanga Reo te pūtakengā mai o te tamaiti, e takahi ai ia i te ara Māori kia tū rangatira ki te ao whānui.

Kei ngā kōtihitihi o te ao mātauranga rātou “Ngā Manu Pīrere o Te Kōhanga Reo”. 

Nō reira kei a KOE e roa ana! Mēnā e hiahia ana koe mē ētahi o te whānau ki te whakatū i tētahi Kōhanga reo, wānangahia te kaupapa korerorerotia kia pūāwai te moemoeā.
