He Pī Ka Rere is a kaupapa Māori physical activity and nutrition approach to nurture and develop the whole being of a tamaiti in Kōhanga Reo. It is based on traditional techniques used by our tūpuna combined with a need to supply our tamariki with the abilities, skills, and awareness to lead a lifelong relationship with kori (movement) and kai (nutrition).

The activities in the programme share direct links to Atua Māori and the realms or domains in which they reside. These activities are modified to cater to the tamariki ages and abilities whilst aiming to utilise the natural environment.
