View on mapE tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Reo Tupua o Awapuni ki Te Papaioea. Kua roa nei ētahi whānau e whai wāhi atu ana ki te kōhanga reo, ā, he mātātoa tā rātou whakatairanga ake i te tirohanga ngātahi me ngā mātāpono o te whanaungatanga. I taunaki te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kia aro atu te whānau ki te whakapiki ake i te tatauranga tamariki e noho ana ki te kōhanga reo. Kua tata eke atu rātou i nāianei ki te tatauranga rahi o tā rātou raihana, ā, kua whakawhānui ake rātou i ngā haora o tā rātou raihana, hei hāpai ake ai i ngā hiahia o ngā mātua e mahi ana. He nui ngā whakawhanaketanga ki te papa tākaro o waho e kawea ana i tēnei wā, hei whakarato wawe i ngā akoranga o waho me ngā wheako tūhura ki ngā tamariki.
E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki i tō rātou tūmāia hei ākonga.
E whiwhi ana ngā tamariki i ngā wheako akoranga e arahina ana, ā, e whakapūmau ēnei i ngā tikanga tuku iho me ngā whakapono Māori. Kua waia ngā tamariki ki ngā tikanga, ā, ka whai wāhi atu rātou ki ngā tikanga, puta noa i te rā. E hāpai ana ngā pepeha, ngā karakia, ngā mihimihi, me ngā waiata i ngā tamariki ki te ako i te reo Māori me ngā tikanga Māori. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki i ā rātou akoranga e pā ana ki te ao Māori. Ka whakamahi ngā kaiako i ngā rautaki māmā, ngā rautaki whai hua e whakapakari ai i te tūmāia o ngā tamariki ki te whai wāhi atu. E whakamihia ana ngā whakamātau a ngā tamariki ki te taki i ō rātou pepeha. Ka whakamahia ētahi tino taonga me ngā mahi ā-ringa kia rongo ai ngā tamariki i tō rātou motuhake. He whai wāhitanga anō hoki mō ngā tamariki ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā horopaki tuku iho. E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki i te tūmāia mā ngā huarahi e whai pūtake ana, ā, e noho ngahau ana hoki.
E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki i tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā kawenga a te tangata whenua. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki te ako i ngā kawa e hāngai pū ana ki te whakatau i ngā whānau hou me ngā manuhiri. Ka kitea ki ngā kaimahi tō rātou tino whakaute mō ō rātou kuia. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i te tūmanako kia manaakitia, kia whakamanahia hoki tō rātou wāhi noho. He māia ngā tamariki ki te āwhina i ngā kaimahi ki te tiaki i tō rātou taiao. E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki i te mōhiotanga ki te kaitiakitanga.
E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki i ngā tino hononga pakari, hononga manaaki hoki ki waenga i a rātou anō. Ka kitea tō rātou manawa nui, tō rātou whakaute, me tō rātou manaaki mō ētahi atu. Ka poipoia ngā hononga ki waenga i ngā tuākana me ngā tēina. Ka tau pūmau te rangimārie hei hāpai i ngā akoranga. E poipoia ana te tuakiri ake o ia tamaiti, ā, ka kitea ō rātou ngākau titikaha ki te whakapuaki i a rātou anō. Me whānui ake ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā pēpi ki te ako mā te tūhura. E whiwhi ana ngā tamariki i ngā hononga e whai pūtake ana.
E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki i tō rātou māramatanga me tā rātou whakamahinga o te reo Māori. Ka whakamahi, ka whakatauira hoki ngā kaimahi i te reo Māori. Ka hāpai rātou i ngā tamariki ki te whakapakari ake i tō rātou mōhiotanga ki te reo, mā te whāngai i ngā kupu Māori i ngā wā ka whakamahi kē ngā tamariki i ngā kupu Pākehā. Ka āta aroturuki ngā kaimahi i te reo o ngā tamariki. He ngākau titikaha tō ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori. Ka noho mārama ngā tamariki ki te reo e whakamahia ana, ā, he pai hoki tā rātou aro atu ki ngā kaimahi. Ko ngā tohu o te reo Māori, ngā ataata, me te reo tonu e noho ātaahua ana, puta noa i ngā wāhanga katoa o te kōhanga reo. Ko te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rauemi o te reo Māori e tino wātea ana ki ngā tamariki o ngā reanga me ngā āheinga katoa. Ka ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki te tūhura i tō rātou taiao o te reo Māori.
He pai te whakahaeretanga a te whānau i te kōhanga reo me te tari, hei painga mō ā rātou tamariki. He māramatanga ngātahi ki te tirohanga o te kōhanga reo, ā, e whakamōhio ana tēnei i te āhua o ngā mahi a te whānau ki te whakatairanga angitu tonu i te kōhanga reo ki te hapori whānui. E whakamahia ana ngā huarahi whakawhitiwhiti kōrero e whai hua ana kia noho mōhio ai te whānau. Ka taetae atu te nuinga o te whānau ki ngā hui o ia marama. Ka whakapūmautia te pai o ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te pūrongo me te whakamahere. Arotakengia ai i ia te wā ngā kaupapa here me ngā aratohu e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga. Ka aroturukitia ngā whakaritenga ngaio me ngā āhua mahi a ngā kaimahi, ā, he pai anō hoki te whakahaere i aua tūāhuatanga. Kua āta tuhia, he matawhānui hoki te tukanga e ārahi ana i te whakahaere o ngā kaupapa rautaki a te whānau. Ko te āta poipoi i te whakawhanaketanga o ngā tamariki katoa te tino kaupapa matua tonu.
Ahakoa te tino tirohanga e whakaratohia ana e te whānau mō te whakawhanake tonutanga me te aronga tonutanga o te kōhanga reo, ka taea ngā tukanga arotake whaiaro te whakapakari mā te nui ake i te whai wāhi mai o te whānau.
Ahakoa e whakaraupapa ana ngā mahere hōtaka i te hanganga me te ritenga o te kaupapa mā ngā kaimahi, kāhore ngā matea whakawhanake me ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā tamariki e āta whakaatuhia ana ki aua mahere. Kāhore ngā kaimahi e whakarato ana i te rawaka o ngā kōrero e tohu ana i ngā mahi ki te tautoko ake i ngā tūmomo rōpū tamariki me ō rātou ngākau nuitanga. He whāiti noa ngā tūmomo whiringa me ngā tūmomo whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki i roto i ā rātou tākaro me ā rātou akoranga. I roto i ētahi o ngā mahinga, he roa rawa te wā tatari o ngā tamariki ki tētahi wāhi iti. He whāiti noa ngā whai wāhitanga o ngā tamariki ki te whiriwhiri i ia te wā i ngā taumahi e ngākau nuitia ana e rātou.
He whāiti ngā huarahi aromatawai o tēnei wā. Kāhore aua huarahi e whakatakoto ana i ngā tino mōhiohio ki ngā mātua, mō te whakawhanaketanga o ā rātou ake tamariki me ā rātou akoranga. E mōhio ana ngā kaimahi, ko te whakawhanake i te pūkete a ia tamaiti te whakaritenga mahi e tika ana kia whai ake. Kāhore te ako me te ahu whakamua a ia tamaiti e āta tuhia ana.
Kāhore te ako a ngā tamariki me ō rātou whakawhanaketanga e kōrerohia ana ki ngā hui kaimahi. Me whakahāngai anō ngā kaimahi i ā rātou whakawhitinga kōrero ki tēnā i wāhi hua ai ki ngā tūmomo rōpū tamariki me ō rātou tū matea, me ngā āhuatanga hoki o te hōtaka akoranga hei whakawhanake ake. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki mā te whakapai ake i ngā mahi ki te aromātai i te hōtaka akoranga.
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 te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Reo Tupua o Awapuni i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Reo Tupua o Awapuni is located in Palmerston North. Long-standing whānau members actively promote the collective vision and principles of whanaungatanga. The previous ERO report recommended the whānau work to increase the number of children attending the kōhanga reo. They are now almost at their maximum licenced roll numbers, and have extended licensing hours to better accommodate the needs of working parents. Significant outdoor playground developments are underway to provide immediate outdoor learning and exploration experiences for children.
Children are developing their confidence as learners.
Children receive guided learning experiences that reinforce Māori traditions and beliefs. Children are familiar with and participate in tikanga throughout the daily programme. Pepeha, karakia, mihimihi, and waiata involve children in learning te reo Māori and tikanga Māori. Kaimahi prompt children to share their learning about te ao Māori. Kaiako use simple and effective strategies to build children’s confidence to participate. Children are praised for their efforts when reciting their pepeha. Specific taonga and traditional actions are used to make children feel special. Children have opportunities to participate in traditional settings. Children are developing confidence in ways that are meaningful and fun.
Children are developing their understanding of tangata whenua roles. Kaimahi enable children to learn specific protocols as they welcome new whānau and visitors. Kaimahi show great respect for their kuia. Kaimahi model the expectation for care and respect of their surroundings. Children confidently assist kaimahi to look after their environment. Children are developing an awareness of kaitiakitanga.
Children develop close and caring bonds with each other. They show patience, respect and care for others. Tuakana teina relationships are fostered. A calm and peaceful atmosphere is maintained for learning. The personality of every child is nurtured and shows their confidence to express themselves. Pēpi need further opportunities to learn through exploration. Children enjoy meaningful relationships.
Children are developing their understanding and use of te reo Maori. Kaimahi use and model te reo Māori. They support children to build their knowledge of the language by introducing te reo Māori words to replace the English terms used by children. Kaimahi closely monitor children’s language. Tuakana are confident to speak in te reo Māori. Children understand the language used and respond well to kaimahi. Te reo Māori symbols, images and language are beautifully displayed in all areas of the kōhanga reo. Extensive te reo Māori resources are easily accessible to children of all ages and abilities. Children enjoy exploring their te reo Māori environment.
The kōhanga reo is managed and administered well by whānau in the interests of their children. There is a shared understanding about the vision for the kōhanga reo which informs the way whānau successfully promote the kōhanga reo in the wider community. Effective methods are used to communicate with whānau. Monthly hui are attended by the majority of the whānau. Good reporting and planning practices are maintained. Management policies and guidelines are regularly reviewed. Kaimahi professional practice and performance is monitored and managed well. A well-documented and comprehensive process guides the management of whānau strategic priorities. The successful development of all children remains the top priority.
While the whānau provide valuable insight for the ongoing development and direction of the kōhanga reo, self-review processes can be strengthened by seeking greater input from whānau.
While programme planning outlines the structure and organisation of the kaupapa for kaimahi, the development needs and their interests of children are not reflected well in these plans. Kaimahi do not provide sufficient detail of how different groups of children and their interests will be supported. There is a lack of variety and opportunity for children to make choices in their play and learning. During some routines, children are required to wait for long periods of time in one small space. Children have limited opportunities to regularly choose activities of interest to them.
Current assessment methods are limited. These do not provide clear information to parents about their child’s development and learning. Kaimahi recognise that the development of portfolios for every child is a key next step. Learning and progress for individual children is not fully documented.
Children’s learning and development is not discussed at kaimahi hui. Kaimahi need to refocus their discussions on what went well for the different groups and needs of children and what improvements can be made to the learning programme. Children will benefit from improved evaluation of the learning programme.
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:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Reo Tupua o Awapuni will be in three years.

E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki ki te kōkiri i ā rātou ake akoranga. Kua āta whakaritea, he pai hoki ngā rauemi ki ngā wāhi ako. E ākina ana ngā tamariki ki te whiriwhiri i ngā taumahi e ngākau nuitia ana e rātou.

He pai te whakawhanaketanga o te āheinga o ngā tamariki ki te ārahi, te tūhura i ngā akoranga hou, me te kawe hoki i ā rātou ake akoranga.
Ko tētahi āhuatanga motuhake o te ako, ko te ngāwari me te whai angitu hoki o ngā kuia me ngā kaimahi ki te whakatairanga ake i te ao Māori. Ka whakapuaki rātou i ngā atua Māori i a rātou e mahi māra kai ana. Ka whakaratohia ki ngā tamariki ētahi mahi ka hāpai i tā rātou taunekeneke atu ki te whenua.

Ko te waiora o ngā tamariki e pou heretia ana e ngā mātāpono me ngā whāinga o Te Korowai. Ka whakamahia ngā pūrongo ki te whānau hei aroturuki i tā rātou whai huatanga ki te whakatutuki i ngā matea o ā rātou tamariki.
Kua roa nei te nuinga o ngā mema o te whānau i whai wāhi atu ai ki te kōhanga reo. Ka whai wāhi rātou ki ngā whakahaeretanga o ia rā ki te kōhanga reo. Ka whakanui hoki te whānau i ngā whai wāhitanga mai o ngā mema o mua. Ka whai hua te whānau te whakatairanga tonu i te reo me ngā tikanga.
E wātea ana ki te whānau me ngā tamariki ngā hononga ā-hapori ka hāpai i a rātou. He hononga ā-pāpori, ā-hauora, ā-toko i te ora, ā-mātauranga hoki. He matawhānui tā rātou whakamahere i tā rātou aronga rautaki, ā, he mātātoa anō hoki tā rātou whai atu. Ka ū pūmau te whānau ki ā rātou kawenga mahi matua hei kaitiaki mō ā rātou tamariki.
Kei te haukerekerea e ngā tukanga mō te whakaemi i ngā mōhiohio aromatawai. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taputapu aromatawai e tino whakapau wā ana, ā, he uaua hoki ki te whakahaere.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Reo o Awapuni is in the heart of Awapuni, Palmerston North. The kōhanga reo has serviced the community for over thirty years during which time it has promoted te reo Māori me ngā tikanga for young children and their whānau. Since its establishment, many leaders of the Māori community have passed on their knowledge and expertise to the whānau.
Whanaungatanga is reflected in the kōhanga reo environment. Children learn in a nurturing te reo Māori environment with kaumātua and whānau whānui. Whānau support children’s wellbeing. Whānau use Te Korowai and Te Whāriki to guide their practice. Whānau learn alongside their children. There is a focus on building whānau knowledge and capability and their management practices.
‘How well are our children nurtured as learners?
Children are nurtured well, as learners. They are happy, engaged, stimulated and confident.
Children are settled and confident in the kōhanga reo learning environment. Strong, supportive and caring bonds are formed between all children and adults. Newly enrolled children are provided with care and attention to help settle them emotionally. The older children show care and affection towards their younger peers.
Whānau are encouraged to participate in the daily programme and to assist with basic operational tasks. Whānau and kuia presence enhances the overall tone and climate of the environment. Supervision and the personal care of children are closely monitored and catered for. Children are happy learners and are loved and supported by the whānau.
Children are encouraged to explore, follow their interests and celebrate learning alongside their whānau. Kaimahi provide an interesting range of activities. Te reo Māori is effectively promoted through these planned activities. Kaimahi have meaningful conversations with children. Children learn about their cultural heritage and language through waiata, karakia, kapa haka, books, daily routines, baking, excursions and marae events. Children experience learning that is fun and memorable.
Children are developing as independent learners. Learning areas are well organised and resourced. Children are encouraged to choose activities that interest them. The outdoor area is being redeveloped by the whānau so their children have more daily outdoor opportunities. Children are developing well in their ability to lead, explore new learning and be responsible learners.
A special feature of learning is the seamless and successful way the kuia and kaimahi promote te ao Māori. They introduce ngā atua Māori when caring for their māra kai. Children are provided with set tasks that enable them to interact with the whenua. The older children like to assist and guide their teina with these activities. Children’s learning is managed effectively and is used to develop their language, heritage and values.
Kaimahi plan programmes of learning that children enjoy. Kaimahi use Te Whāriki to plan kaupapa learning activities. Whānau contribute to planning. This adds value to the meaningful and stimulating programmes.
Children’s wellbeing is underpinned by the principles and goals of Te Korowai. Whānau reporting is used to monitor how well they are meeting children’s needs.
Most whānau members have been with the kōhanga reo for a long time. They are involved in the day to day running of the kōhanga reo. Whānau acknowledge the contributions of past members. The whānau continue to promote te reo me ngā tikanga successfully.
Whānau and children have access to community networks to support them. These networks include social, health, welfare and education. Their strategic direction is comprehensively planned and actively pursued. Whānau uphold their key responsibilities as kaitiaki for their children.
Procedures for gathering assessment information are overwhelming. Kaimahi use a wide range of assessment tools that are time consuming and difficult to manage. Kaimahi acknowledge that their approach to assessment needs to be improved.
Whānau and kaimahi acknowledge that programme review is not regular or recorded well. Kaimahi recognise they need to closely examine how well the learning programme is meeting the needs and interests of children.
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 whānau agreed they would continue to explore ways to use self review and reporting to enhance and track the short and long term strategic goals including encouraging more children’s enrolments.
The whānau of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Reo Tupua o Awapuni upholds the vision set by their tupuna and past whānau and the goals in Te Korowai. Children are nurtured well, as learners. They are happy, engaged, stimulated and confident.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Reo Tupua o Awapuni will be in three years.
