Empowering whānau and tamariki through education
Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini
I come not with my own strengths but bring with me the gifts, strengths and talents of my whānau, iwi and tīpuna.

Nau mai, tauti mai
Karanga Mai is a whānau-based learning community where supportive and respectful relationships empower everyone to belong, to believe, to discover, to grow.
Karanga Mai provides high-quality culturally responsive education and care for tamariki of both young parents attending Karanga Mai Young Parents College and community whānau.
We work in partnership with you and your whānau to ensure your tamariki recognise their talents, know they are important and feel a sense of belonging. And it’s important to us that you feel supported and valued as a parent too.

Life and learning
Te Whāriki, the Early Childhood Curriculum, guides life and learning at Karanga Mai. Tamariki are seen as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society. Tamariki learn in a language rich environment, experiencing daily te reo and te ao Māori.
Access for all
Karanga Mai provides transport, food, clothing and social services so that all tamariki have an equal opportunity to attend and fully participate. Karanga Mai is part of the KidsCan Programme, which includes daily morning tea and lunch, clothing and health products for our tamariki.
Whānau involvement
We welcome and encourage whānau involvement. Community outings and picnics, annual Marae visits and weekly community waiata are just some of the ways you and your whānau are invited to participate in our Karanga Mai community.
