Welcome to the
Pātaka
Mā te huruhuru, ka rere te manu.
Adorn the bird with feathers so it may fly.
In a traditional Māori village (Pā), the Pātaka is the storehouse—a raised platform where food and precious taonga (treasures) are kept safe to nourish the people.
This is where you will find our collection of evidence-based resources to fill your Kete of knowledge.
Whether you prefer a physical book to hold in your hands, or a digital download for instant access, our learning guides are designed to fit your life and your learning style.
The Foundations through Play Series
(coming soon)
You don't need a playroom full of plastic to raise a smart kid. You just need the right tools.
Every resource in our Pātaka is grounded in the latest Educational Psychology research and the NZ ECE Curriculum (Te Whāriki). We take the science of how children learn and translate it into simple, fun activities that fit into real life.
