We have many WHYS here at Te Akonga Early Learning Centre, some personal, some that align within our own personal teaching journey but one that is very visible within our video is - the beautiful tamariki who grace our centre each morning. We do it for them. We do it for the many Māori, non Māori whānau and kaiako that come into our place. We do it because we want to keep te reo Māori breathing within our place and the love we have for te ao Māori. We do it because we are passionate. We do it because we can. Kia kaha te reo Māori 💜🧡
