About us and our programme

Our kindergarten is in beautiful Elsdon in Porirua, right in the heart of Ngati Toa iwi. We are close to our local marae, Takapuwahia and visit regularly.

Children at Katoa are part of an inclusive environment that acknowledges the importance of social skills and virtues to support lifelong learning. We have a large, attractive outdoor space with a garden for herbs and vegetables.

Ka oho te wairua, ka matāra te tinana, he aroha ki te aroha, ka kā te rāma.
When the spirit is awakened, when the body is alert, when the love is unconditional, enlightenment flows.

Nā Te Rauparaha

This whakatauki has meaning to us as it was said by one of our chiefs, Te Rauparaha.
