our people

At Mata’aga Aoga Amata, our greatest strength lies in our people—dedicated educators, supportive families, and a passionate community all working together to create a nurturing and enriching environment for our children. Each member of our team brings a deep commitment to the Samoan language, culture, and values, ensuring that every child who walks through our doors feels supported and inspired.

Our Community

The community at Mataaga Aoga Amata is what makes our preschool truly special. We are more than just a school; we are a collective of families, educators, and supporters who are united by a shared commitment to nurturing the next generation.

Our community plays a vital role in the success of our children, from participating in school events to volunteering and offering support. Together, we create a warm, inclusive environment where every child feels a strong sense of belonging and connection.

Our Families

The families at Mataaga Aoga Amata play an integral role in our community. We believe that education is a partnership between the preschool and the home, and we actively involve parents and caregivers in all aspects of their child’s learning journey.

Through regular communication, family events, and collaborative activities, we build strong relationships that support the holistic development of our children.

Our Educators

Our educators are the heart of Mataaga Aoga Amata. They are not just teachers but mentors and role models who are deeply invested in the growth and development of every child. With extensive qualifications in Early Childhood Education (ECE) and a strong foundation in Samoan cultural practices, our teachers create a learning environment where children are encouraged to explore, discover, and connect with their heritage.

Together, our people—educators, families, and community members—create a vibrant, supportive, and culturally rich environment where our children thrive.
