Grounded tools for lighter days.

At Aroha & Ako, we believe teaching should feel purposeful, not overwhelming. Too many educators are drowning in planning, paperwork, and pressure — leaving little room for creativity, connection, or well-being. We knew there had to be a better way.

That’s why we design emotionally intelligent, culturally grounded, curriculum-aligned tools that lighten the teacher workload. Our planners and resources don’t just tick curriculum boxes — they honour the realities of the classroom, protect teacher energy, and bring joy back into learning.

We’re here to help teachers feel supported, not stretched. With Aroha & Ako, planning becomes simpler, classrooms become calmer, and teachers can focus on what truly matters: well-being, family and balance.
