The tohu symbolises the whole atmosphere of the whare wananga, its aroha, growth and racial intergration. The design of the mother and child facing outwards, nesting in a semi-circle depicts Te kohanga reo welcoming all, giving security and hope for a successful future. The inward facing design shows the family, love and learning which is kohanga reo.

β 11y agoTe Kohanga Reo is (and means) the language nest of te reo (the language) of the Maori culture and indigenous people of Aotearoa-New Zealand. A tohu is a symbol or logo. The tohu of the Te Kohanga Reo movement was designed by Michelle Brown and you can find it here:
So "Te Kohu of Te Kohanga Reo" Means the logo of the Kohanga reo movement/organisation.
Te Kohanga Reo offers a playschool environment where children up to six years old are cared for by Nannies/kuia/whaea (older ladies) and where they speak only their native language, Maori.
It was started in 1981 as a result of the fear that the Maori language was being lost. It is now a thriving entity, though not fully supported by government as are the playschools of Pakeha (white) children and this is a bone of contention for many.

What are the disadvantages of a Kohanga reo?
There are NO disadvantages at all - how can a child and their whanau be disadvantaged by learning how to speak, act and be Maori? They will learn to participate and contribute to their child/rens learning whilst learning how to govern and manage the kohanga reo. Whanau are held accountable for ALL their actions. Kohanga Reo was the FIRST organisation/movement that insisted on a smokefree environment for our mokopuna. So once again, there are NO disadvantages at all.
