The Education Review Office, whānau, leaders and communities have collaborated to provide evaluation insights that foster improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Okaihau is situated in the small, rural township of Okaihau, northwest of Kerikeri. It has been providing reo and tikanga Māori immersion early learning education for mokopuna and whānau from the local area. Local kuia and kaumatua frequently visit the kōhanga reo.
Mokopuna confidently show their understanding of te reo and tikanga Māori in their learning experiences and interactions.
Mokopuna experience a range of contexts and support for learning te reo Māori, tikanga and kawa. Kaimahi use appropriate language acquisition strategies, such as questions, prompts, repetition and modelling, to reinforce mokopuna te reo Māori development. Kaimahi create activities that encourage mokopuna to use te reo Māori in positive ways and in their interactions with adults and each other. Mokopuna know and follow kōhanga te reo routines Māori. These are well established and predictable expectations to support mokopuna learning of whanaungatanga that are modelled by kaimahi and tuākana across the day. Whānau ensure mokopuna are exposed to expert modelling of te reo Māori and tikanga. They support mokopuna to participate in pōwhiri and whakatau, experiencing karanga and whaikōrero in authentic ways. Mokopuna are learning to respond appropriately to specific teachings in te ao Māori.
The whānau have processes in place for managing the kōhanga reo. The Tūtohinga clearly identifies te reo Māori as a key whānau priority for mokopuna learning, and outlines the expectations and guidelines needed to manage the kōhanga reo operations. Whānau meet regularly to discuss management of the kōhanga reo and to make decisions for resourcing the learning programme and the daily operations. Whānau hui are well attended. The annual plan clearly identifies key areas of operations and when these must be attended to and identifies who is responsible for each task. Kaimahi appraisals are completed. These help lead to professional learning opportunities. Core health and safety and personnel management policies and procedures are up to date and aligned to current legislation.
Kaimahi meet regularly to discuss weekly kaupapa and mokopuna learning and progress. Their programme planning is detailed and identifies required resources. The planning guides the implementation of the learning programme. It provides clear guidelines to kaimahi that support mokopuna ongoing learning. Kaimahi regularly reflect on the quality of the programme with a focus for further improvement.
Strategic planning requires strengthening. Whānau have identified their goals and aspirations in their strategic plan. It is now time for whanau to establish an action plan to help record and monitor progress in relation to their aspirations. Mokopuna benefit when their future needs are well considered.
Earthquake drills have not been carried out or documented. Whānau must ensure all requirements for earthquake evacuation drills are carried out and recorded. Mokopuna safety is compromised.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
To meet compliance requirements, the whānau must:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōkaihau ki te tāone tuawhenua o Ōkaihau, i te uru-mā-raki o Kerikeri. Ko ngā wāhi ako o roto, o waho hoki, he wāteatea mō ngā akoranga. He aronga ki te whānau, te waiora o ngā tamariki, me te tiaki i te taiao. Ko ngā hononga ki ngā kura kaupapa Māori e rua me te kura tuatahi o konei e hāpai ana i te whakawhiti atu a ngā tamariki me ngā whānau ki ngā kura.
Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki te whanaketanga o tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā uaratanga, ngā whakapono, me ngā whakaritenga mā te horopaki o te ao Māori.
E whakawhanake ana te kōrero a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. E aro ana ngā mahere a ngā kaimahi ki te whakapuaki, te whakapakari, me te whakawhānui hoki i te reo o ngā tamariki. Ka whai wāhi tēnei ki te ārahi i te whakapuakitanga o ngā kaupapa e pā ana ki te tīmatanga o te reo matatini, te tatau, me te noho mōhio ki te ao māoriori, taiao hoki. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki e whakatairanga ana i te reo ā-waha. Ka waihanga rātou i ngā kēmu me ngā whakataetae kia rongo, kia tāwhai, kia whakautu pātai hoki ngā tamariki i ngā kupu. Mā ngā karakia, ngā waiata, me ngā mihimihi e rongo ana ngā tamariki i ngā tauira reo e whai pānga ana ki ngā kaupapa ōkawa. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki te whakawhanaketanga o tō rātou tūmāia ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori.
E whanake ana te ngākau titikaha o ngā pēpi ki te tūhura haere i te taiao. Ka whakamaheretia ngā hōtaka akoranga hei whakahihiri, hei whakaongaonga anō hoki i ō rātou whakaaro pohewa. He wāteatea, he muramura, he haumaru hoki te wāhi ako mō ngā pēpi, kia āhei ai rātou ki te āta whakamātau i ā rātou akoranga. Ka whakapau kaha ngā kaimahi me te whānau, kia tiaki, kia poipoi ia kaimahi i tētahi pēpi. He whai wāhitanga anō hoki mō ngā pēpi ki te taunekeneke ki te taha o ngā tuākana. Ka rongo ngā pēpi i te manaaki, te aroha me te awhi.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki te tiaki i te taiao māoriori, tūturu hoki. Ka tuituia ki ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki ngā tikanga tuku iho e pā ana ki te whakatupu kai. Ko te whakatō me te whakatupu kūmara e tika ana mō ia rōpū reanga, ā, ka toha atu ki te hapori whānui. Ka whakatupu hoki i ngā rongoā, hei taonga mā ngā whānau. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i ngā akoranga e pā ana ki ngā atua Māori mā ngā horopaki tūturu. Ka akiaki rātou i ngā tamariki ki te whakatinana i ngā uaratanga o te manaaki me te noho whakaute ki te taiao. E ako ana ngā tamariki ki te tū hei kaitiaki.
Ko ngā tamariki kei te aronga o te hōtaka akoranga. E āta hono ana ngā mahere ki Te Whāriki. Ka whai wāhi atu te whānau ki ngā mahere, mā te tāutu i ngā kaupapa o ngā akoranga. He tino aronga ki ngā atua, ki te reo Māori, ā, ki te waiora anō hoki o ngā tamariki me te whānau. E ārahi ana ngā mahere i ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi ki te taha o ngā tamariki, kia hihiri ai te ako. Ka whiwhi te whānau i ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki tēnā e mahia ana, e ākona ana hoki e ngā tamariki. E harikoa ana ngā tamariki i a rātou e ako ana, e tākaro ana hoki.
E noho pūmau ana te whānau ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Kua whakaritea te aromātai o roto. Ko te arotake i ngā kaupapa here me te tūtohinga ētahi āhuatanga o te whakahaeretanga e tino whakatutukihia ana e te whānau. Ko te pūrongo i ia te wā i ngā āhuatanga katoa o te whakahaeretanga, me te whakatutuki pai i te whakahaeretanga o te tari e hāpai ana i ngā whakaritenga i te kōhanga reo. E whakapakarihia ana te ako a ngā tamariki ki te whai huatanga o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Kāhore te aromātai hōtaka e whakatutukihia ana i ia te wā. He mea nui kia kōrerohia, kia tuhia, kia whakatutukihia hoki e ngā kaimahi ngā whakarerekētanga i tāutuhia ai hei whakapai ake i te whakapuakitanga o ngā akoranga mā ngā tamariki. E mōhio kē ana rātou koia nei tētahi whakaritenga matua ka whai ake. Ka whakatairangatia te ako a ngā tamariki mā tētahi hōtaka e aromātaihia ana mō te whai huatanga.
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 ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōkaihau i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Okaihau is in the rural township of Ōkaihau, North West of Kerikeri. The indoor and outdoor learning environments are spacious areas for learning. There is a focus on whānau, the wellbeing of tamariki and caring for the environment. Relationships with two kura kaupapa and the local primary school are helping tamariki and whānau to make the transitions.
Children show they are developing an understanding about values, beliefs and practices in a te ao Māori setting.
Tamariki are developing as speakers te reo Māori. Kaimahi planning is focused on building, introducing and extending children’s language. This helps to guide delivery related to early literacy, counting and an awareness of the natural and physical environment. Kaimahi use a range of strategies to promote oral language. They create games and competitions for children to hear, repeat and answer questions about words. Karakia, waiata, and mihimihi help tamariki to hear language patterns for formal activities. Tamariki show they are developing the confidence to use te reo Māori.
Pēpi are developing confidence to explore the environment. Programmes of learning are planned to excite and stimulate their imagination. The learning area is spacious, colourful and safe for pēpi to take risks in learning. Kaimahi and whānau provide as much one to one care and attention for pēpi. There are opportunities for them spend time to interact with tuākana. Pēpi experience manaaki, aroha and awhi.
Tamariki are learning to care for the natural and physical environment. Traditional methods for growing kai is integrated into children’s learning. Planting and growing kumara are appropriate for their age group and share with the wider community. Rongoa is grown to as gifts to share with whānau. Kaimahi provide opportunities for children to use learning about ngā atua Māori in practical situations. They encourage tamariki to show the values of care and respect for the environment. Tamariki are learning to be kaitiaki.
Tamariki are the focus of the learning programme. Planning is clearly linked to Te Whāriki. Whānau contribute to planning by identifying topics for learning. There is a strong focus on ngā atua, te reo Māori and the wellbeing of tamariki and the whānau. Planning guides kaimahi to work with tamariki to make learning exciting. Whānau receive informative about tamariki and the things they are doing and learning. Tamariki are happy in their learning and play.
Whānau are strongly committed to the kaupapa of the kōhanga reo. Internal evaluation is in place. The review of policies and the charter are aspects of management the whānau do well. Regular reporting on all aspects of operations and well managed administration contribute to the organisation of the kōhanga reo. Children’s learning is strengthened by effective whānau management.
Programme evaluation is not consistently practiced. It is important that kaimahi discuss, record and follow through with identified changes to improve delivery of children’s learning. They do recognise this as a key next step. Children’s learning will be enhanced from a programme that is evaluated for its usefulness.
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 recommendations:
Strengthen programme evaluation
Establish professional development plan that targets kaimahi needs
Strengthen internal evaluation to inform the whānau strategic direction.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōkaihau will be in three years.
