Our Philosophy

Faavae Mautu Aoga Amata is an early childhood education centre committed to nurturing strong foundations in children.

We provide a warm, safe, and loving environment shaped by a Samoan Christian and cultural worldview. Most of our staff are fluent in Samoan, making the centre proudly Samoan language immersion.

We believe in acknowledging Māori as tangata whenua and ensuring children have a knowledge of the indigenous culture of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Le Mātou Talitonuga

Matou te ofoina atu se siosiomaga ua saunia lelei — mo le faafaileleina ma le aoaoina o fanauiti uma i tu ma aga faakerisiano ma aganuu faa-Sāmoa, i le gagana Sāmoa.

Matou te talitonu i le fausia o se faavae mautu mo fanau uma ina ia o latou ola ma tupu ae avea ma tagata tauivi, loto tetele, ma atamamai — e suesue, fesootaʻi, ma mafuta lelei i le tino, le mafaufau, ma le agaga.

E matou te talia le Te Whāriki o Niu Sila o se faavae tāua — ma ua matou fa’aalia lo matou fa’aaloalo i tagata whenua e ala i le aofia ai o pese, tusitusiga, ma isi ituaiga aʻoaʻoga faalotoifale i le matou polokalame.’
