View on mapHei wāhanga tonu o āna mahi, ko Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te tari kāwanatanga ka aromātai i ngā kōhanga reo puta noa i Aotearoa. He pārongo kōrero ki ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga mā te whānau, mā ngā hapū, mā ngā iwi, me ngā hapori.
Kua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, me ngā hapori ki te whakatakoto i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i ngā whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Kerepēhi ki te hapori tuawhenua o Kerepēhi, ki Hauraki. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2018, kua whakatūngia e te whānau tētahi kaiako hou me tētahi kaiwhakahaere hou. Kua tīmata te kaiako i ngā mahi whakangungu o Te Tohu Whakapakari.
Ka kitea ētahi tauira o ngā mokopuna e harikoa ana, e ngana ana hoki i roto i ā rātou akoranga.
E rumakina ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao e whakamana ana i te reo Māori. He rautaki ā ngā kaimahi mō te whakawhanaketanga o te reo Māori o ngā mokopuna. Ko ētahi o aua rautaki, ko ngā karakia, ngā hīmene, ngā mihimihi, me ngā waiata. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te ārahi i ētahi tūmomo wāhanga o te hōtaka. Ka tāwhai ngā pēpi i ngā kupu māmā. He pai te aro atu a ngā tamariki tuākana ki ngā whakatauiratanga reo Māori o ngā kaimahi. E whanake ana ngā mokopuna ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
E ahu mai ana te hōtaka akoranga i Te Whāriki, ā, e ārahi ana hoki i ngā kaimahi. Kei te tīmatanga o te hōtaka o te ata ngā mahinga me ngā taumahi e tino mōhiotia ana. He pai te aro atu a ngā mokopuna i aua wā. Ka ako ngātahi rātou, ā, ka kitea tō rātou ngākau nui ki te hōtaka.
Kua whakaritea ētahi āhuatanga o ngā whakahaeretanga a te whānau. E hāngai ana ngā rehita katoa o te hauora me te haumaru ki te wā, ā, e whakatutukihia ana ngā akoako hōneatanga ohotata i ia te wā.
Kāhore i te tino whakamaheretia, kāhore hoki i te tino whakatōpūngia ētahi wāhanga o te hōtaka. Nā taua tūāhuatanga, kei te āta whakahaere ngā kaimahi i te whanonga a ngā mokopuna. E tika ana kia kaha ake te whakahihiri, te whakaongaonga hoki i ngā taumahi, hei āta whakarite i te whai wāhi atu a ngā mokopuna ki ngā wheako ako papai.
Ahakoa kua whakatakotohia ngā whakaritenga aromatawai, he iti noa ngā taipitopito kōrero o roto kia whai māramatanga ngā whānau ki te āhua o te ako a ā rātou mokopuna. He mahi kōrerorero noa ngā pūrongo a ngā kaiako ki ngā hui ā-whānau. Ahakoa ka hui ngā kaimahi ki te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero mō te hōtaka, kāhore aua whakawhitinga kōrero e tuhia ana. Me whai tautoko mō ngā wāhanga katoa o ngā mahi e pā ana ki ngā mahere me te aromatawai. Kei te pā tōraro aua āhuatanga ki ngā akoranga a ngā mokopuna, ā, kāhore ō rātou pūmanawa me ō rātou ngākau nuitanga e āta poipoia ana kia whai hua ai.
Me whakawhanake i te aromātai o roto. Kua roa nei te arotakenga o te tūtohinga, ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e noho tārewa ana. He iti noa te pūrongo i ngā āhuatanga, puta noa i ngā mahi whakahaere. E whakatutukihia ana ngā mahi whakahaere i te tari. Engari, e tika ana kia māramahia ake te āhua tonu o ngā tūranga me ngā kawenga mahi. Me āta titiro ki ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi. Kāhore anō ētahi kirimana a ngā kaimahi kia waitohungia. Kāhore i ngā kaimahi katoa ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi. E ai ki ngā tuhinga, kua whakatutukihia ngā mahi arohaehae, engari kāhore ēnei e tohua ana ki te rā. Kāhore he mahere ā-tau hei āta whakarite i te whakatutukitanga o ngā mahi whakahaere matua, i roto i te wā e tika ana. Kāhore ngā mokopuna e āta tautokona ana e ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
I te wā o te aromātai, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei:
Kia tutuki i a rātou ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:

The Education Review Office (ERO) is the government department that, as part of its work, evaluates kōhanga reo throughout Aotearoa. ERO’s reports provide information for whānau, hapū, iwi and communities.
The Education Review Office, whānau, leaders and communities provide evaluation insights that foster improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Kerepehi is located in the rural community of Kerepehi on the Hauraki Plains. Since the ERO review in 2018, the whānau have appointed a new kaiako and kaiwhakahaere. The kaiako has begun training in Te Tohu Whakapakari.
Some examples of mokopuna who are happy and engaged in their learning are evident.
Mokopuna are immersed in an environment where te reo Māori is valued. Kaimahi have strategies in place to develop te reo Māori for mokopuna. These include karakia, himene, mihimihi and waiata. Mokopuna have opportunities to lead different aspects of the programme. Babies mimic basic words. Older mokopuna respond positively to the modelling of te reo by kaimahi. Mokopuna are developing as speakers of te reo Māori.
The learning programme is based on Te Whāriki and provides guidance for kaimahi. The beginning part of the morning programme includes familiar routines and activities. Mokopuna respond positively at these times. They learn together and appear to enjoy the programme.
Some aspects of whānau management are in place. All health and safety registers are current and emergency evacuation procedures are carried out regularly.
Some aspects of the programme are less planned and coordinated. This is resulting in kaimahi needing to manage mokopuna behaviour. More interesting and stimulating activities are needed to ensure mokopuna are engaged in positive learning experiences.
While assessment practices are in place, these provide limited detail for whānau to understand how well their mokopuna are learning. Kaiako reports to hui whānau are verbal only. Although kaimahi meet to discuss the programme, these conversations are not documented. Support is required for all aspects of the planning and assessment. Mokopuna learning is compromised, and their strengths and interests are not being effectively catered for.
Internal evaluation requires development. A review of the charter, policies and procedures is overdue. There is minimal reporting across operations. Administration duties are carried out. However, further clarity about roles and responsibilities is needed. Personnel documentation requires attention. Some kaimahi contracts are not signed. Not all kaimahi have job descriptions. Appraisals are noted as completed but are not dated. There is no annual plan to ensure key operational tasks are managed in a timely manner. Mokopuna are not well supported by whānau whakahaere.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
To meet compliance requirements, they must:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Kerepēhi ki te hapori tuawhenua o Kerepēhi, ki Hauraki. Ko ngā kuia ngā poupou me ngā kaitiaki o te kōhanga reo, mai i tōna tīmatanga. Whai muri i te arotake a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2015, i whakatū te whānau i tētahi kaiako me tētahi kaiwhakahaere. E arotahi ana rātou ki te whakapakari ake i ngā āheinga o te whānau, me tō rātou mōhiotanga anō hoki ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo.
He tūmāia ake te āhua o ētahi o ngā tamariki hei ākonga, i ētahi atu. I ētahi wā, kei te hikirangi te āhua o ngā tamariki tuākana.
Me hāpai ake i ngā tamariki ki te ako i te reo Māori. E whakamahi ana ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki - pērā i te whāngai kupu me te patapatai - ki te taha o ngā tamariki tuākana. Ahakoa ka whakamahia e ngā kaimahi te reo Māori puta noa i te hōtaka akoranga, he tokomaha tonu ngā tamariki e whakautu kōrero ana mā te reo Pākehā. Kua tae ki te wā ki te whai whakaaro ki ngā huarahi ka āta whakapakari ai i te āheinga me ngā pūmanawa o ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao kāhore e āta whakaritea ana. Ahakoa ka aro pai ētahi o ngā tamariki ki ngā kōrero whakamihi a ngā kaimahi, kei te hikirangi kē te āhua o ētahi o ngā tamariki tuākana. Kāhore ngā tamariki tuākana e āta taunekeneke pai ki ētahi atu. Kāhore anō kia āta whakatakotohia ngā mahinga, hei hāpai i te nekeneke haere, te whakawhiti haere anō hoki o ngā tamariki i roto i te hōtaka o ia rā. He whāiti noa te āhua o ngā rautaki ā ngā kaimahi ki te āta whakapuaki i ngā hononga papai ki waenga i ngā tamariki.
E ako ana te whānau me te kaiwhakahaere i ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga mahi hei hāpai i ngā mahi whakahaere. E tupu ana te tūmāia o te whānau ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā tukanga e pā ana ki ngā whakataunga.
Ka aroturukitia te ako a ngā tamariki. Ka whakaemi ngā kaimahi i ngā mōhiohio aromatawai mā ngā kitea ki te ahu whakamua o ia tamaiti. Ka whakamahia tētahi pūkete, ā, ka whakatakoto haere i ngā kōrero me ngā whakaahua e whai pānga ana ki te ako a ngā tamariki. Ka whakamahia tētahi puka, hei tuhi haere i ngā whanonga ako o ngā tamariki, ā, ka whakahokia taua puka ki te kāinga i ia rā. Me āta whakatakoto ngā kaimahi i ngā tūhono mārama ki waenga i ngā mahere me ngā aromatawai. Kōrero urupare ai ngā mātua i ia te wā, ā, ka whakapuaki kōrero anō hoki rātou ki te taha o ngā kaimahi inā he āwangawanga. Ka aroturukitia te ahu whakamua o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki.
Ko te whakamahere i te hōtaka a ngā tamariki, me te aromātai anō hoki i te hōtaka, kei te tīmatanga tonu o ngā whakawhanaketanga. E tāutu ana te kaiako i ngā rautaki ka whakapakari ake i te mōhiotanga me ngā āheinga o ngā kaimahi i roto i aua tūāhuatanga. Kāhore anō kia whakaritea ngā mahere ako a ngā tamariki, me te aroturukitanga o te hōtaka.
Kāhore anō te whānau kia whakatinana i te tukanga mō te arotake whaiaro. He maha anō hoki ngā wāhanga o te whakahaeretanga hei tirohanga wawe. Me āta titiro ki te:
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 te wā o te arotake, i tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā wāhanga kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture. Kia tutuki ai i te whānau ā rātou herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia whakawhanakehia e te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo me te whānau, tētahi mahere tautoko matawhānui ki te whakatutuki i ngā āhuatanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Kerepēhi i roto i te kotahi tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Kerepēhi is located in the rural community of Kerepēhi on the Hauraki Plains. Kuia are founding members and kaitiaki of the kōhanga reo. Since the ERO review in 2015, the whānau has appointed a kaiako and kaiwhakahaere. They are focused on building whānau capability and knowledge about the kaupapa of kōhanga reo.
Some children show more confidence as learners then others. Older children at times appear unsettled.
Children require extra support to learn te reo Māori. Kaimahi use strategies such as prompts and questions with older children. Despite the continuous use of te reo Māori by kaimahi during the learning programme, many children respond in English. It is time to consider ways to ensure that the capacity and capability amongst kaimahi and whānau to speak Māori is strengthened.
Children learn in an environment that is not well organised. While some children respond positively to kaimahi praise, some of the older children appear unsettled. Older children do not interact positively with others. Routines are not in place to support children’s movements or transitions in the daily programme. Kaimahi appear to have limited strategies to create positive relationships amongst children.
The whānau and kaiwhakahaere are learning about their roles and responsibilities to support management practices. Whānau are growing their confidence to participate in decision making processes.
Children’s learning is monitored. Kaimahi gather assessment information using observations about children’s individual progress. A profile book is used to keep records and photos of children’s learning. A notebook is used to record children’s learning behaviours which is sent home each day. There is a need for kaimahi to make transparent links between planning and assessments. Parents regularly give feedback and share any concerns with kaimahi. Children’s progress in learning is monitored.
Children’s programme planning and programme evaluation is at the early stages of development. The kaiako is identifying strategies to build kaimahi knowledge and capabilities related to these areas. Children’s learning plans and the monitoring of the programme has yet to be established.
Whānau have yet to implement a process for self-review. There are a number of areas of operations that require immediate attention. These are:
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 identified areas of non-compliance. In order for the kōhanga reo whānau to meet compliance requirements, they need to:
ensure that kaimahi plan, implement and evaluate the Te Kōhanga Reo curriculum to provide positive learning experiences for children
[Regulation 43 (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; C1-13 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
establish an ongoing process of self-review to help maintain and improve the quality of practice for children
[Regulation 47 (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; GMA6 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
review and update all health and safety policies and procedures to ensure all requirements for emergency evacuation drills, sleeping, accidents and incidents, hazards, child protections and behaviour management are met and maintained for children
[Regulation 46 (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; HS1-33 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ensure appraisals for all employed staff is regularly implemented
[R47 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, GMA7 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ensure kōhanga whānau management has established and implemented procedures for police vetting of employees and contractors as required by the Education Act 1989.
[R319D to 319FA/FE Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, GMA12,7 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO recommends that Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust and whānau develop a comprehensive plan of support to address the following:
Strengthen te reo Māori amongst kaimahi and whānau
Implement appropriate strategies to resolve conflict amongst children
Establish processes for programme planning and programme evaluation
Implement a self-review process to ensure the quality of operations of the kōhanga reo is regularly monitored
Review all health and safety policies and procedures
Review and implement kaimahi appraisals
Implement police vetting for all personnel working with children.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Kerepēhi will be within one year.
