Philosophy – AATA LTD

AATA believes in the mana of children’s cultural identity and wellbeing which are critical to maintain and nurture Pacific indigenous ways of being, relating and knowing in the world.

We believe in nurturing children to sustain their wellbeing, genealogy and spiritual existence. We believe in serving Pacific communities both within Aotearoa and abroad, encouraging connection between communities and taking care of relationships that enable collective aspirations for children. We believe that children are the knowledge holders for their future generations in cultural intelligence.

O Aoga Amata o upega e filifolau le aogā (Samoan ECE are nets that have transnational purpose). Wherever Samoa people reside, Aoga Amata has the potential to support children’s cultural identities.
