E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ao Mārama ki Whakatāne. E noho ana te nuinga o ngā tamariki me ō rātou whānau ki tēnei hapori tonu. Whai muri i te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2015, kua panoni te āhua o te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te kōhanga reo. Kua whai wāhi atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā hōtaka whakangungu hei whakapiki ake i tō rātou mōhiotanga me tō rātou māramatanga ki ō rātou tūranga. Kua whai wāhi atu hoki te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te hāpai i te whānau ki te whakapakari ake i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e poipoi ana i a rātou. Kua arotahi ngā kaimahi ki te āta poipoi i ngā hononga papai ki waenga i ngā tamariki me ngā pākeke. Ka akiaki rātou i ngā tamariki ki te whakaatu i te whakaute me te manaaki ki ētahi atu i roto i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whakaritea ngā taumahi kia āhei ai ngā tamariki ki te tākaro ngātahi, te mahi ngātahi anō hoki ki waenga i a rātou anō, ā, ki ngā kaumātua hoki. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki tuākana ki te whakawhanake i ngā pūkenga ki te ārahi. Kua whakatakotohia tētahi wāhi ako ake mō ngā pēpi, ā, e poipoi ana te wāhi nei i ō rātou ake matea ki te moe me te kai i ngā wā e tika ana ki ia pēpi. Kei te harikoa, kei te mauritau hoki te āhua o ngā tamariki.
Kua pai ake ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau. Kua whakatinanahia e te whānau ngā pūnaha e hāpai ai i te haumaru ā-tinana, ā-whatumanawa hoki o ngā tamariki. Whakatutukihia ai, tuhia ai, pūrongotia ai hoki ngā mahi ki te arowhai i te haumaru i ngā wā e tika ana. Kua whakahoungia e te whānau ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi, hei whakatutuki i ngā herenga ā-ture. Kua whakatinanahia e rātou te arohaehae i ngā kaimahi, ā, kua whakaemihia anō hoki ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki ngā matea whakawhanaketanga o ia kaimahi. Kua pai ake te whakahaere me te pūrongo i ngā āhuatanga e pā ana ki ngā pūtea. I te tātarihia ngā kaute pūtea i te wā o te arotake nei. E arotahi ana te whānau ki te ahunga whakamua o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei.

Me whakawhanake ake i te arotake hōtaka me ngā whakaritenga aromatawai. Ahakoa ka whakawhiti kōrero ngā kaimahi mō te hōtaka akoranga, kāhore anō rātou kia tuhi ōkawa i ngā huarahi ka whāia e rātou ki te whakapai ake i ngā putanga ako o ngā tamariki. E mōhio ana ngā kaimahi, e tika ana kia whakapakarihia te āhua o ā rātou mahi ki te aromatawai me te aroturuki i te ako a ngā tamariki.
E noho tonu ana te aromātai o roto, hei āhuatanga ki te whakawhanake ake. Ahakoa kei te mārama te whānau ki te aromātai o roto, he iti noa te ahu whakamua. Mā te arotake i ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga, me ngā tūmanako o te tūtohinga, tae atu hoki ki ngā whāinga tonu o Te Korowai, ka hāpai i ngā whakaritenga ki te aroturuki i te ahu whakamua me ngā whakatutukitanga ā meāke nei.
Kua tutukihia e te whānau ngā herenga ā-ture i roto i ngā wāhanga i tāutuhia ai ki te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, tae atu ki te:
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, e te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, e te whānau hoki o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka whakahaere anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te aromātai whai muri o Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ao Māramai roto i te toru o ngā tau.

A supplementary evaluation is undertaken at the discretion of the Chief Review Officer of the Education Review Office (ERO).
ERO evaluates the extent and effectiveness of actions a kōhanga reo has taken towards addressing issues specified in its previous ERO evaluation and/or any additional areas identified since that evaluation.
This supplementary evaluation is based on an evaluation of the performance of the kōhanga reo governing body and management in relation to areas identified in the previous ERO report or issues identified since that evaluation. The terms of reference for this evaluation area to investigate:
Ko Kapurangi te maunga
Ko Ohinemataroa te awa
Ko Manukatūtahi te whenua
Ko Te Ao Mārama te kōhanga reo
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ao Mārama is in Whakatāne. Many of the children and their whānau live locally. Since the previous ERO report in 2015, there have been changes in whānau and kaimahi of the kōhanga reo. Kaimahi have participated in training programmes to increase their knowledge and understanding of their roles. Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust (TKRNT) has been involved in supporting the whānau to strengthen the management of the kōhanga reo.
Children learn in a nurturing environment. Kaimahi have focussed on fostering positive relationships between children and adults. They encourage children to show respect and care towards others in the learning programme. Activities are organised for children to play and interact cooperatively with each other and kaumātua. There are opportunities for older children to develop leadership skills. Babies have a designated learning area that caters for their individual sleeping and eating needs as required. Children appear happy and secure.
Whānau management practices have improved. The whānau has implemented systems to support the physical and emotional safety of children. Regular safety checks are carried out, recorded and reported as required. The whānau has updated personnel documentation to meet legislative requirements. They have implemented kaimahi appraisal and gathered information about their individual development needs. Financial management and reporting have improved. Financial accounts were being audited at the time of this review. The whānau is focussed on the future direction of the kōhanga reo. They use Te Ara Tūāpae and Ngā Pou e Whā to identify whānau priorities, and develop short and long-term goals. An annual calendar assists the whānau to track and complete key tasks and activities. The whānau display a better understanding of kōhanga reo management practices.
Programme evaluation and assessment practices require further development. Although kaimahi discuss the learning programme, there is no formal recording of how they will improve learning outcomes for children. Kaimahi acknowledge the need to strengthen assessment and monitor children’s learning.
Internal evaluation remains an area for development. Although the whānau have an understanding about internal evaluation, limited progress has been achieved. A review of the charter policies and procedures, charter objectives and Te Korowai goals will assist monitoring progress and achievement of their future direction.
The whānau has addressed areas of non-compliance identified in the previous ERO report, including:
ERO, TKRNT and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ao Mārama will be in three years.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ao Mārama is in Whakatane. Children are motivated learners of te reo Māori. Children are considerate, caring and respectful members of the whānau. Whānau recognise the need for strong internal review. Key areas of operations including personnel, finance, strategic, charter, property, health and safety are not adequately monitored.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ao Mārama will be within two years.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ao Mārama has well developed facilities with a range of indoor and outdoor learning areas. The licensed roll for 30 children including up to 10 under two years old has dropped to 10 children with 3 under two year olds. Most whānau are new to the kōhanga reo. Whānau and TKRNT district office acknowledge that there are some outstanding matters that require urgent attention.
How confident are children using te reo Māori?
Children are motivated learners of te reo Māori.
Children are considerate, caring and respectful members of the whānau. Kaimahi foster whanaungatanga where learning together is a strong feature of the programme. Learning about ngā atua Māori and tikanga Māori reinforce the importance of connections, care and responsibility. Children learn about caring for themselves and others. They display a sense of patience, tolerance and respect. Children get on well with each other and with kaimahi. They are confident and happy in their learning environment.
Children love using te reo Māori. They are responsive and enthusiastic learners. They readily respond to questions and prompts as they learn more about te ao Māori and the wider world. Interactions and relationships are positive and caring. Daily practices of mihimihi, karakia, waiata and pepeha extend children’s understanding about who they are and their place within the kōhanga reo and community. Children hear, see and experience kaupapa that allow them to learn tikanga and te reo Māori in meaningful settings. Children have kaimahi who are fluent speakers of te reo and who nurture their language development.
Children enjoy leading various learning activities. They show a growing awareness and appreciation for their natural and physical environment. Kaimahi and adults are alert to and respond well to children’s learning preferences. Children have access to the outdoors where they explore, investigate and interact well with kaimahi and peers. Kaimahi organise the daily programme so that the momentum of learning is maintained throughout the day. Children’s zest for learning is sustained through variety and improvements in the daily programme.
Kaimahi have a shared understanding that all those who work with children must maintain high expectations for quality professional relationships and working environment. Whānau should ensure that kaimahi matters do not impact on the provision for children’s learning and care.
Te Whāriki programmes of learning are well planned and are displayed in the kōhanga reo for whānau reference. There is a strong emphasis on catering for the interests and needs of learners. Meaningful kaupapa activities are provided for all children. Te reo Maori and learning about te ao Māori are included in programme plans. Kaiako reflect on their practices to improve and enhance the learning programme.
Whānau recognise the need for strong internal review, focused monitoring and reporting for effective and well informed management of their kōhanga reo. Key areas of operations including personnel, finance, strategic, charter, property, health and safety are not adequately monitored. There are personnel matters that need immediate attention including appraisal which has not been carried out. The induction process has not been implemented well and the charter requires review and updating to include robust, sound and clear procedures for all areas of management practice. Recent management of issues that have arisen highlight the urgent need for clear management. Whānau hui do not focus on children. Priorities for discussion need to refocus on charter objectives and Te Korowai goals.
During the review, ERO looked at the kōhanga reo systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:
All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements. The whānau must:
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
The kōhanga reo whānau seek immediate guidance and support from TKRNT to raise the quality of kōhanga reo management for children.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ao Mārama is in Whakatane. Children are motivated learners of te reo Māori. Children are considerate, caring and respectful members of the whānau. Whānau recognise the need for strong internal review. Key areas of operations including personnel, finance, strategic, charter, property, health and safety are not adequately monitored.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ao Mārama will be within two years.
