What does Te Kohanga Reo mean?
Te 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.
