View on mapE tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ara Tika ki Maruawai. He tino hononga ō te whānau ki ētahi atu o kōhanga reo o tō rātou purapura. Kua roa nei te whānau e whai wāhi atu ana ki te kōhanga reo. He raukura katoa ngā kaimahi o tēnei wā o te kōhanga reo me Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Arowhenua.
He pai ngā tamariki ki te taunekeneke ki ō rātou hoa, ki ngā pakeke hoki i te kōhanga reo.
E whai wāhi nui ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e āta whakaritea ai. Kua whakatakotohia e ngā kaimahi ngā mahinga e hāpai ai i ngā tamariki ki te tiaki i a rātou anō. Kei te āta mōhiotia, kei te āta whāia hoki aua mahinga e ngā tamariki. Ka mārama ngātahi haere ngā pēpi me ngā tamariki tuākana i tō rātou whai wāhi nui ki te kōhanga reo. He ngāwari te āta whakamārama i ngā mahinga me ngā tūmanako. Ka āta whakatau ngā kaimahi i te noho mōhio o ngā tamariki ki te āhua o te whanonga e tika ana. Kei te tau te noho o ngā tamariki ki tō rātou kōhanga reo.
E whai wāhi atu ana ngā tamariki ki ngā taunekeneke pai e whakatairanga ana i te aroha. Ko te whakaute me te whakawhirinakitanga kei te pūtake o ngā hononga o te whānau. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i te manaakitanga me te whai whakaaro nui mō rātou anō, ā, mō ngā tamariki hoki. ka whakamihi rātou i ngā whakapuakitanga papai o ngā tamariki. Ka kihitia, ka awhitia hoki ngā pēpi. Ka whakanuia te whai wāhi mai o ngā tamariki tuākana. Ka toro atu ngā tamariki ki te tautāwhi me te manaakitanga o ngā kaimahi. Kei te mōhiotia, kei te māramahia hoki e ngā tuākana, ko tā rātou mahi he manaaki tonu i ngā tēina. Kei te āta rangona e ngā tēina te āhurutanga me te aroha. E whiwhi ana ngā tamariki i ngā hua o te whai hononga.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao o te reo Māori. He raukura katoa ngā kaimahi nō te kura kaupapa Māori o tēnei takiwā. Ka āta whakapuakihia e rātou ngā tauira papai, ngā mōhiotanga, me ngā māramatanga o te reo Māori. Kei te māramahia e ngā tamariki ngā tohutohu me ngā pātai, ā, ka tahuri atu ki tēnā e kōrerohia ana. He tika tā rātou whai i ngā tohutohu. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki ako reo e whai wāhi atu ana ki te whakawhanaketanga o te reo o ngā tamariki. Ko ētahi o aua rautaki, ko te whakamahinga o ngā hanganga reo pērā i ngā karakia, ngā pepeha, ngā mihimihi, ngā waiata, me ngā taumahi whakangahau. Ka whai wāhi katoa ēnei ki te whakawhānui me te whakatairanga i ngā puna kupu a ngā tamariki. E whanake ana te tīmatanga ako o ngā tamariki i te reo Māori.
E ako ana ngā tamariki i ngā kaupapa e ahu mai ana i te ao Māori. He ōkawa te wā hinengaro, ā, koia nei te wā ka whakapakari ngā kaimahi i te māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki te reo matatini me te pāngarau mā ngā kaupapa Māori. E hāpai ana ngā waiata Māori, ngā kēmu, me ngā rauemi i te ako i ngā kaupapa. Ka whakarato te whānau me ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te uru atu ki ngā tūmomo kaupapa i te rohe. Nō nā noa nei te ahurei o te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa i tū ai, ā, he wā pai tēnei mō te whānau o te kōhanga reo ki te toro atu me te whakawhanaunga ki ētahi atu kōhanga reo o tō rātou purapura. I tū manawa whakahī ngā tamariki i te atamira ki te taha o tō rātou purapura, hei whakapuaki i ā rātou akoranga me tō rātou ngākau nuitanga ki te reo Māori. I aro nui te wāhanga whakamutunga ki te whakahirahiratanga o te kōhanga reo ki te whānau me ngā kaimahi.
Kei te whakawhāitihia te toro atu a ngā tamariki ki ngā rauemi ako. Kua whakatakotohia e ngā kaimahi me te whānau te nuinga o ngā rauemi ki ngā pouaka putanga, ā, he rahi, he mā hoki te āhua. Kāhore i te māmā te toro atu, ā, he iti noa hoki ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te wāhi i ō rātou ngākau nuitanga puta noa i te rā. Kua tae ki te wā, kia whai whakaarohia e te whānau ngā huarahi e hāpai ai i ngā tamariki ki te whai kawenga, ā, i te whakawhanaketanga hoki o tā rātou kōkiri i a rātou anō hei ākonga.
Kua whakatakotohia e ngā kaimahi ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga i āta whakawhanakehia ai hei ārahi i ngā mahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai. Ka whakapuaki te whānau i ō rātou whakaaro e pā ana ki te ako a ngā tamariki. Ka hāngai ngā mahere ki te ao Māori, ā, he mārama te aronga o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Ka kitea ngā kaupapa matua me ngā kaupapa whāiti ki ngā mahere. Ka āta whakamaheretia, ka āta whakaritea hoki te ako a ngā tamariki.
Ka whiwhi ngā mātua me te whānau i ngā mōhiohio e whai pūtake ana mō te ako a ā rātou tamariki. Ka hāngai ngā huarahi ako ki ngā kitenga, ngā paki ako, ngā mahi toi a ngā tamariki, me ngā whakapae e pā ana ki te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā whāinga mō ia kaupapa, hei ārahi i ngā mahi e aromatawai ana i ngā tamariki. Ka aroturukitia te ako a ngā tamariki.
Ka whai wāhi atu te aromātai hōtaka i te whakapaitanga ake o ngā whakaritenga a ngā kaimahi. Kua āta whakatakotohia e ngā kaimahi tētahi tukanga kia whakaaro huritao ai rātou i ia te wā mō te kounga o te whakaako me te ako. E arotahi ana ki te whakapai tonu i ia te wā i ngā putanga ki ngā tamariki.

Ka taetae atu ki ngā hui e tū ana i ia te wā, ā, he whai wāhitanga i aua hui ki te whakatau i ngā whakaritenga i runga anō i te āhua o ngā mōhiohio e pā ana i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Ka whakatū ngā kaimahi i ngā wānanga e hāpai ai i te whānau ki te whakatairanga ake i tō rātou māramatanga ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo me Ngā Pou e Whā. E hāngai ana ngā kaupapa here a te whānau ki te wā, ā, e whakatutukihia ana ngā herenga ā-ture. E whakatakoto ana ngā mahere mahi i te ahu whakamua a te whānau ki te whakatutuki i ā rātou whāinga ā-tau me ā rātou whāinga rautaki. Ko ngā pūnaha, ngā mauhanga, me ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi, e hāpai katoa ana i te whakatutukitanga o ngā matea ngaio me ngā matea whaiaro o ngā kaimahi. E ākina ana, e hāpaitia ana hoki ngā kaimahi e te whānau kia taetae atu rātou ki ngā wānanga me ngā hui e whakapakari ai i ngā pūkenga, ā, e whakapūmau ana hoki i ngā whakaritenga papai.
I te wā o te aromātai, i whakamātauhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha o te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei e whai pānga nui ana ki te waiora o ngā tamariki:
Ko te tikanga, ka whakatairanga ngā kōhanga reo katoa i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, me te arotake anō hoki i ia te wā i tā rātou whakatutukitanga i ngā herenga ā-ture.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ara Tika is in Gore. The whānau share close relationships with the other kōhanga reo in their purapura. Whānau have a long history with the kohanga reo. The current kaimahi are all raukura from the kōhanga reo and Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Arowhenua.
Children interact well with their peers and adults at kōhanga reo.
Children experience a well-structured environment. Kaimahi have established routines for self-care. Children know and follow these routines with confidence. Together babies and older children develop an understanding of their place in the kōhanga reo. Routines and expectations are explained gently. Kaimahi ensure children are aware of acceptable behaviour. Children are comfortable in their kōhanga reo.
Children are engaged in positive, loving interactions. Whānau relationships are based on respect and trust. Kaimahi role model care and concern to each other and to children. They praise children’s positive contributions. Babies are kissed and hugged. Older children are affirmed for their participation. Kaimahi are loving and caring. Efforts by children to imitate these respectful practices are celebrated. Children look to kaimahi for reassurance and care. Tuākana know and understand that their role is to care for the teina. Teina know they are safe and well loved. Children enjoy positive connections.
Children learn in a te reo Māori environment. All kaimahi are raukura from the local kura kaupapa Maori. They provide good examples, knowledge and understanding of te reo Māori. Children understand instructions and questions and respond accordingly. They respond appropriately to directions. Kaimahi use a range of language learning strategies to contribute to children’s language development. These include using language structures such as karakia, pepehā and mihimihi, waiata and fun activities. These all contribute to extending and enhancing children’s vocabulary. Children are developing as early learners of te reo Māori.
Children learn kaupapa that are based in Te Ao Māori. Wā hinengaro is a formal time for kaimahi to build children’s understanding of literacy and numeracy within kaupapa Māori. Waiata Māori, kemu and resources support learning kaupapa. Whānau and kaimahi provide opportunities for children to participate in events within the region. The recent Poly Cultural Festival gave the kōhanga reo whānau a chance to travel and interact with other kōhanga reo in their purapura. Children stood proudly on the stage with their purapura to show their learning and commitment to te reo Māori. The finale highlighted the importance of the kōhanga reo to whānau and kaimahi.
Access to learning resources for children is restricted. Kaimahi and whānau store most of the resources in large white storage containers. Easy access and opportunities for children to follow their interests throughout the day is limited. It is time for whānau to consider ways for children to take responsibility and develop independence as learners.
Kaimahi have well developed systems and processes in place to guide planning, assessment and evaluation. Whānau share their ideas for children’s learning. Planning is focused on Te Ao Māori and provides clear direction for children’s learning. Kaupapa matua and kaupapa whāiti are evident in planning. Children’s learning is well planned and organised.
Parents and whānau receive purposeful information about their children’s learning. Assessment methods include observations, learning stories, children’s artwork and making judgements about children’s progress. Kaimahi use whainga for the kaupapa to guide children’s assessment. Children’s learning is monitored.
Programme evaluation leads to improvement in kaimahi practice. Kaimahi have an established process for regularly reflecting on the quality of teaching and learning. The focus is on continually improving outcomes for children. Templates for programme evaluation supports kaimahi to identify improvements to the learning programme. Children’s outcomes are important.
Whānau are active, contributing members of the kōhanga reo. Regular well-attended meetings give them opportunities to make informed decisions about managing the kōhanga reo. Kaimahi provide wānanga for whānau to improve their understanding of te kaupapa of the kōhanga reo and Nga Pou e whā. Whānau policies are current and meet legal obligations. Action planning records the progress made by the whānau in meeting its annual and strategic goals. Personnel management systems, files and documents ensure staff professional and personal needs are met. Staff are encouraged and supported by whānau to attend wānanga and hui that build capability and sustain good practice.
During the evaluation, 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.
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
provide access and a wider range of resources for children.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ara Tika will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ara Tika ki Maruawai. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā hua o te whanaungatanga. He aronga toi whenuatanga tō rātou, ā, ka ngākau nui rātou ki te whakawhanake i tō rātou tū ki te ārahi. Ka ākina te whakatau a ngā tamariki i ā rātou ake whiringa ako, ā, ka whai wāhi atu rātou ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi e hāpai ana i te reo Māori.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ara Tika i roto i te toru o ngā tau.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ara Tika ki Maruawai. Mai i te marama o Mahuru, i te tau 2015, kua whakatūngia ētahi kaimahi hou. He hou te nuinga o ngā mema o te whānau ki te kōhanga reo me tāna kaupapa. Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki te whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga o ia rā ki te kōhanga reo.
Mai i te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2012, kua pā mai ētahi rerekētanga ki ngā kaimahi, ngā whānau, me ō rātou hononga anō hoki ki te Purapura. E ārahi ana, e hāpai ana hoki Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo me Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu i te whānau o te kōhanga reo.
Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou tūmāia ki te taunekeneke ki ētahi atu i a rātou e ako ana i ngā hua o te whanaungatanga.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou ake whakaaro mā ngā huarahi e whai pūtake ana. Ka whai pānga matua ngā tikanga Māori ki te hōtaka o ia rā. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā mihi, ngā karakia, ngā karanga me ngā waiata hei whakatairanga, hei whakapakari anō hoki i ngā mōhiotanga o ngā tamariki ki ngā tikanga me te reo ā-iwi e hāngai pū ana ki a Kāi Tahu. Kua āta whakaritea ngā mahinga. Nā tēnei e āhei ana ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou whakapapa me ō rātou pepehā mā te āhurutanga o te noho ā-whānau. Ka ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki te ako i ngā kōrero e pā ana ki a rātou anō.
Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki te reo Māori mā te whakanuitanga o ngā tūmomo horopaki. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki ka hāpai i ngā pūkenga whakarongo o ngā tamariki, me te whakawhanaketanga o tō rātou reo Māori. Kei ngā taumahi ako ngā hanganga reo e hāpai ana i ngā tamariki ki te whai i ngā tohutohu māmā, me te whakautu pātai. Ka whakapuaki ngā kaimahi i ngā kupu hou me ngā kīanga hou hei whakapakari ake i ngā pūkenga kōrero o ngā tamariki. E ako ana ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori i a rātou e taunekeneke ana ki ō rātou hoa me ngā pākeke.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e poipoi ana i a rātou. Kua whakaritea e ngā kaimahi ngā tino hononga papai ki ia mema o te whānau. Ka whakamahi rātou i aua mōhiohio ki te rapu i ngā huarahi e tika ana ki te whakatutuki i ngā matea o ngā tamariki. Ka tuituia te hōtaka akoranga ki ngā uaratanga o te whakaute me te aroha hei poipoi i te atawhai me te aroha. Whakamihia ai i ia te wā ngā whakamātau a ngā tamariki, ā, nā tēnei ka puāwai tō rātou tūmāia, me tō rātou kiritau. Ko ngā taunekeneke a ngā tamariki e poipoi ana i tā rātou whai wāhi nui me tō rātou aronga toi whenuatanga.
E whanake ana te tū o ngā tamariki ki te ārahi. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i te ārahitanga ki ngā tamariki. Ka whai wāhi ngā tamariki ki ngā taumahi e whakapakari ana i tō rātou tūmāia ki te tū hei rangatira. Nā ngā taumahi ako ōkawa, ka kitea ngā tamariki i ngā tūmomo tauira o te ārahitanga. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki te ārahi.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki te whai i ō rātou ake ngākau nuitanga. Ka whakapuaki ngā kaimahi i tētahi hōtaka e poipoi ana i te whānuitanga o tūmomo reanga ki te kōhanga reo. Kua whakaritea ngā taumahi mā te rōpū katoa, mā ia rōpū reanga ako anō hoki. E ākina ana ngā tuākana kia mahi takirua, takirōpū, me te takitahi. E tautokona ana te taha auaha o ngā tamariki tēina i roto i ā rātou akoranga. E ako ana ngā tamariki ki te whakatau i ā rātou ake whiringa.
E āhei ana ki te whakapakari ake anō i te reo o ngā tamariki. E mōhio ana te whānau, he mahi tonu ka whai ake ki te whakapiki ake i ngā pūkenga me te āheinga o ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori. Ahakoa ka whai wāhi atu te nuinga o ngā kaimahi ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki te taha o ngā tamariki, kāhore tēnei e whakatinanahia ana i ia te wā. He pai kē atu ki ngā tamariki te kōrero i te reo Pākehā. Kāhore te āheinga o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori e āta hāpaitia ana.
Ka whakamaheretia ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Kua whakatinanahia e ngā kaimahi tētahi aronga e tuitui ngātahi ana i ngā tūmanako o ngā mahere me te ngāwari o te whakapuakitanga. He tirohanga ā rātou mō ngā mahere ā-tau me ngā mahere ā-wāhanga, tae atu hoki ki ngā whāinga ako. Hui ai rātou i ia wiki ki te whakaaro huritao mō te whakapuakitanga o te hōtaka, me te whakamahere anō hoki mō te wiki ka whai ake. Ko ngā matea o ngā tamariki e noho matua ana ki ngā kaimahi.
Ko te whakawhanaketanga i te katoa o te tamaiti e ārahi ana i ngā whakaritenga whakahaere a te whānau. Ko Te Korowai me Ngā Pou e Whā ētahi tuhinga matua e whakanui ana i te whakatau ngātahi, me te aronga o tēnei ki ngā painga mō ngā tamariki. Kua tāutuhia ngā tūmanako e pā ana ki te pūrongo i te ako a ngā tamariki me ngā take whakahaere. Ka noho matua te ako a ngā tamariki.
Ko ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki e whakamōhio ana i te aronga rautaki o te kōhanga reo. Ka tāutu te angamahi o Te Ara Tūāpae i ngā tūmanako o te whānau me ā rātou kaupapa matua, mō ngā tau e toru e whai ake ana. Ka hāngai ngā whāinga rautaki ki ngā tūmanako o te whānau, ā, ka kitea hoki ki ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e ārahi ana i ngā whakaritenga o te kōhanga reo. E whakapakari ana te whānau i ā rātou mahi aromātai kia whai pānga hoki te aroturuki i tā rātou ahu whakamua i runga anō i te āhua o ngā whāinga ā-tau. Ko te whakapaitanga ake o ngā mahi aromātai ka hāpai ake anō hoki i te whakawhanaketanga o te katoa o te tamaiti.
Kei te whanake tonuhia te māramatanga o ngā kaimahi ki te aromātai o roto. Ahakoa ka whakawhiti kōrero ngā kaimahi mō ngā hōtaka akoranga hei whakapai ake i te whakapuakitanga o ngā hōtaka akoranga, kāhore aua whakataunga e tuhia ana hei whakapūmau i ngā rerekētanga. Ka pakari ake te ako a ngā tamariki mā te whakapai ake a ngā mahi aromātai a ngā kaimahi me te whānau, ā, ka whakapūmau anō hoki tēnei i te aronga ki te whakapai tonutanga.
I te wā o te arotake, i whakamātauhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha o te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei e whai pānga nui ana ki te waiora o ngā tamariki:
Ko te tikanga, ka whakatairanga ngā kōhanga reo katoa i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, me te arotake anō hoki i ia te wā i tā rātou whakatutukitanga i ngā herenga ā-ture.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ara Tika ki Maruawai. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā hua o te whanaungatanga. He aronga toi whenuatanga tō rātou, ā, ka ngākau nui rātou ki te whakawhanake i tō rātou tū ki te ārahi. Ka ākina te whakatau a ngā tamariki i ā rātou ake whiringa ako, ā, ka whai wāhi atu rātou ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi e hāpai ana i te reo Māori.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ara Tika is in Gore. Children show they understand the value of whanaungatanga. They have a sense of belonging and enjoy developing leadership responsibilities. Children are encouraged to make choices in their learning, and experience a range of activities that support te reo Māori.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ara Tika will be in three years.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ara Tika is in Gore. New kaimahi have been appointed since September 2015. The majority of whānau members are new to the kōhanga reo and its kaupapa. Kaimahi and whānau work together to manage the day-to-day running of the kōhanga reo.
Since the last ERO Report 2012 there have been changes with kaimahi, whānau and their relationships with the Purapura. The Kōhanga Reo National Trust and Te Rūnakanui o Kāi Tahu are providing guidance and support for the kōhanga reo whānau.
Children show confidence to interact with others as they learn about the value of whanaungatanga.
Children are learning to express themselves in meaningful ways. Tikanga Māori is an integral part of the daily programme. Kaimahi use mihimihi, karakia, karanga and waiata to promote and build children’s knowledge about tikanga and dialect specific to Kāi Tahu. Routines are well established. This enable children to share their whakapapa and pepehā in a whanau supported environment. Children are happy learning about who they are.
Children experience te reo Māori in different contexts. Kaimahi use strategies to support children’s listening skills and te reo Māori development. Learning activities provide children with language structures that enables them to respond to simple instructions and to answer questions. Kaimahi introduce new words and phrases to strengthen children’s communication skills. Children are learning to use te reo Māori in their interactions with peers and adults.
Children learn in supportive environment. Kaimahi have established positive relationships with whanau members. They use this information to find appropriate ways to respond to children’s needs. Values of respect and aroha are integrated into the learning programme to foster kindness and affection. Praise is regularly used to acknowledge children’s efforts and grow their confidence and self-esteem. Children’s interactions foster a sense of place and belonging.
Children are developing leadership responsibilities. Kaimahi model leadership for children. Children participate in activities that builds their confidence to shine as leaders. Formal learning activities provide opportunities for children to observe leadership models. Children enjoy leading.
Children are learning to follow their interests. Kaimahi deliver a programme that caters for the range of ages in the kōhanga reo. Activities are organised for whole group and age group learning. Tuakana are encouraged to work in pairs, groups and also independently. Teina are supported to be creative in their learning. Children are learning to make choices.
Children language can be further strengthened. The whānau recognise that more can be done to increase children’s skills and ability to use te reo Māori. Although most kaimahi engage in conversation with children it is not consistently applied. Children’s preferred language of communication is English. Children’s ability to use te reo Māori is not well supported.
Children’s learning is planned. Kaimahi have implemented an approach that incorporates planning expectations and flexibility of delivery. They have overviews for the year and term plans, including learning objectives. They meet each week to reflect on the delivery of the programme, and to plan for the following week. Children’s needs are important to kaimahi.
Children’s holistic development guides whānau management practices. Te Korowai and Ngā Pou e Whā are key documents that emphasise collective decision making that focus on children. There are defined expectations for reporting about children’s learning and operational matters. Children’s learning is a priority.
Children’s learning informs kōhanga reo strategic direction. Te Ara Tūāpae framework identifies whānau objectives and priorities for the next three years. Strategic goals are based on whānau expectations, reflected in kōhanga reo policies and procedures that guides kōhanga reo practices. Whānau are strengthening their evaluation practices to include monitoring their progress against their annual goals. Improved evaluation practices will impact positively on children’s holistic development.
Kaimahi understanding of internal evaluation is still developing. Whilst kaimahi discuss learning programmes to improve the delivery of learning programmes, they do not record decisions to bring about change. Children’s learning can lead to better outcomes by improving kaimahi and whānau evaluation practices that maintains a focus on continual improvement.
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.
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ara Tika is in Gore. Children show they understand the value of whanaungatanga. They have a sense of belonging and enjoy developing leadership responsibilities. Children are encouraged to make choices in their learning, and experience a range of activities that support te reo Māori.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ara Tika will be in three years.
