View on mapKua 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 Tuatahi o Tokoroa ki te tāone o Tokoroa. He hononga ōna ki a Raukawa me Te Kīngitanga. He manawa whakahī tō te whānau i te mea koia nei te kōhanga reo tuatahi i tū ai ki Tokoroa nei. Nō ngā iwi maha ngā mokopuna o tēnei kōhanga reo.
E whanake ana ngā mokopuna i tō rātou tuakiri hei Māori.
He ngākau titikaha ō ngā mokopuna ki te taunekeneke ki ētahi atu. Ka āta whakapuaki ngā kaimahi i ō rātou pūmanawa ki te whakapakari i te tuakiri o ngā mokopuna. E whakatauirahia ana te reo Māori me ōna tikanga e ngā kaimahi. Ka aro nui ngā mokopuna ki ngā kōrero mā te tāruarua i tēnā e kōrerohia ana, e mahia ana hoki e ngā kaimahi. E whakarato ana ngā kaimahi i te tini o ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te eke angitu. Ka whakapuakihia ngā tūmomo kōrero e pā ana ki ngā atua Māori. Kātahi ka kōkiri ngā kaimahi i ngā waiata i tito ai rātou hei whakapūmau i aua kaupapa. Ka ako ngā mokopuna i ō rātou hononga ki aua kōrero. Kei te tino mōhio ngā kaimahi ki ngā mokopuna. Ka hāpai, ka akiaki hoki rātou i ngā mokopuna ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou pepeha. E ako ana ngā mokopuna i tō rātou tuakiri me tō rātou tūrangawaewae.
Kei te mārama haere te whānau ki te āhua tonu o ngā mahi ki te whakahaere i tō rātou kōhanga reo. Kei te mārama ki a rātou ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga, ā, e whakapūmautia ana aua tūāhuatanga i te whakaurutanga mai ki te kōhanga reo. He mātātoa te whai wāhi atu a te heamana me te kaiwhakahaere tari ki ngā mahi whakahaere i te kōhanga reo me te tari. He mahere ā-tau e whakaraupapa ana i te katoa o ngā mahi whakahaere tari matua, me ngā wā e tika ana kia whakatutukihia. Kua whakahoungia ki te wā te nuinga o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, ā, kua whakahāngaitia anō hoki ki ngā herenga ā-ture o tēnei wā. Kua tāutuhia e te whānau ā rātou kaupapa matua mō te paetawhiti. He mahere rautaki mō ngā tau e rima, ā, e arotahi ana ki te whakawhanaketanga o te kōhanga reo, tae atu hoki ki Te Ara Tūāpae me te arotahinga ki te whakapakari me te whakapūmau i te kaupapa me te whakawhanaketanga o te whānau. Kua whakatakotohia ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi. E āta māramahia ana e ngā kaimahi ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga. Ka ū tonu te aronga ki ngā mokopuna i roto i te katoa o ngā mahi whakahaere.
E whakaae ana te whānau, tērā ētahi āhuatanga o ngā mahi whakahaere hei tirohanga ake. E whanake ana te aromātai o roto. Ko ētahi mahi matua hei āta whakaarotanga ake, ko ēnei e whai ake nei, arā:
Me whakapakari ake i ngā mahi pūrongo ki ngā hui ā-whānau. Ahakoa ka arotahi ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki tēnā e whai pānga nui ana ki te whānau mō ngā mokopuna, he iti noa ngā pūrongo e pā ana ki ngā wāhanga matua pērā i te arotakenga o ngā kaupapa here, ngā putanga o ngā mahi whakahaere i te tari, ngā mahere rautaki, me ngā take e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi.
Ahakoa he mahere rautaki tā te whānau, kāhore he mahere mahi hei aroturuki i te ahu whakamua o ā rātou whāinga me ō rātou wawata.
Kua tae ki te wā kia arotake te whānau i ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te arohaehae i ngā kaimahi. I tēnei wā, kāhore aua tūāhuatanga e hāngai ana ki ā rātou tuhinga tūranga mahi, kāhore rānei e whai wāhi atu ana ki te whakawhanaketanga ngaio.
Ahakoa kua whakahou ake te whānau i te nuinga o ngā kaupapa here e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, kāhore anō kia whakawhanakehia e rātou te kaupapa here, ngā tukanga rānei e pā ana ki ngā haerenga. He mea nui kia whakatutukihia taua āhuatanga, hei āta whakapūmau i te noho haumaru o ngā mokopuna i ngā wā katoa.
Me whakapakari ake i te whakamahere hōtaka, te aromātai hōtaka, me te aromatawai. He uaua ki te āta whakatau, pēhea nei te aroturukitanga i te whai huatanga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ahakoa ka whakawhiti kōrero ngā kaimahi mō tēnā i whai hua ai me tēnā kīhai i whai hua ai, kāhore e tino kitea ana te whakamahinga o aua mōhiohio. Ka whai pānga matua tēnei ki ngā mahi whakamahere i te hōtaka. Kāhore te aromatawai i ngā mokopuna e riterite ana. Ka āta kitea te noho mārama o ētahi o ngā kaimahi ki te pūtake o ngā pūkete, engari, me hāpai hoki i te whai māramatanga o ētahi atu ki aua tūāhuatanga. Ka tuhia tēnā e ākona ana e ngā mokopuna, engari he uaua ki te aroturuki i te ahu whakamua. He mea nui kia riterite ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi katoa i roto i te whakamahere, te aromātai, me te aromatawai.
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, kua whakaae te whānau ki te:
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:

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 Tuatahi o Tokoroa is in Tokoroa township. It has links to Raukawa and to the Kingitanga. The whānau prides itself on the fact that their kōhanga reo was the first established in Tokoroa. Mokopuna at the kōhanga affiliate to a range of iwi.
Mokopuna are developing their identity as Māori.
Mokopuna interact confidently with others. Kaimahi utilise their strengths to build mokopuna identity. Te reo Māori me ōna tikanga are modelled by kaimahi. Mokopuna respond by repeating what kaimahi say and performing what they do. Kaimahi provide multiple opportunities for mokopuna to succeed. Different stories are told about atua Māori. Then kaimahi initiate songs they have composed to reinforce those kaupapa. Mokopuna learn about how they connect to those stories. Kaimahi know the mokopuna well. They support and prompt mokopuna to share their pepeha. Mokopuna are learning about who they are and where they come from.
Whānau are growing their understanding of how to manage the operations of their kōhanga reo. They are clear about their roles and responsibilities which is reinforced at the time of enrolment. The chairperson and administrator are actively involved in the administration of kōhanga reo business. There is an annual plan that outlines all key administration tasks and dates for completion. Most health and safety policies and procedures have been updated and aligned to current legislation. The whānau have identified their long-term priorities. There is a 5year strategic plan that focuses on development of the kōhanga reo and Te Aratūāpae which focuses on strengthening and maintaining the kaupapa and whānau development. Kaimahi personnel documentation are in place. Kaimahi are clear about their roles and responsibilities. Mokopuna remain the focus of all management activities.
The whānau agree that there are some areas of operations that require attention. Internal evaluation is developing. Following are key tasks that need deliberate consideration:
Reporting at whānau hui needs strengthening. While discussions focus on what is important to the whānau for mokopuna, there is little reporting against key areas such as policy review, administration outcomes, strategic planning and personnel matters.
While the whānau have in place a strategic plan, there is no action plan to monitor the progress of their goals and aspirations.
It is time for whānau to review kaimahi appraisal policy and procedures. Currently these do not align to their job descriptions or lead to professional development.
While whānau have updated most health and safety policies, they have yet to develop an excursions policy and procedure. It is important that this is attended to, to ensure mokopuna safety at all times.
Programme planning, programme evaluation and assessment need strengthening. It is difficult to gauge how the learning programme is monitored for its effectiveness. While kaimahi discuss what worked and what didn’t, it is not clear what happens to this information. This then has a direct impact on programme planning. Mokopuna assessments are inconsistent. It is clear that there are some kaimahi who understand the purpose of portfolios, however, others need support to arrive at the same understanding. What mokopuna are learning is recorded but progress is difficult to monitor. Consistency of practice around planning, evaluation and assessment is important for all kaimahi.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
To meet compliance requirements whānau have agreed to:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo Tuatahi o Tokoroa ki te tāone o Tokoroa. He hononga anō hoki ōna ki ngā rohe o Te Waiariki me Raukawa. He hononga ā-hapū, ā-iwi hoki ō te whānau, puta noa i Aotearoa. Ko te kōhanga reo tētahi wāhi e whakakoi ana i te tuakiri, te reo, me ngā tikanga tuku iho o te whānau. He pai ngā pūrongo o mua i whiwhia ai e te whānau.
E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki i ngā pūkenga ki te kōrero i te reo Māori, ā, ka kitea tō rātou pārekareka i roto i ngā akoranga e pā ana ki tō rātou tuakiri me tō rātou ahurea.
E tino tautokona ana te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki e whakapakari ana i te reo o ngā tamariki. Ka whakatauira rātou i te reo Māori, mā te tohutohu, te ārahi i te whai whakaaro nui ki ētahi atu, me te whakamihi i ngā whakamātau a ngā tamariki. He nui ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki waenga i ngā kaimahi me ngā tamariki i a rātou e whai wāhi atu ana ki ngā taumahi ako. Ko ngā patapatai, ngā mahi ā-ringa, me ngā tohu ā-kanohi hoki, e hāpai ana i te pārekareka o te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. Ka aro nui ngā kaimahi ki ngā tamariki hei āta hāpai ake ki te kōrero mā te reo Māori ki ētahi atu. E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki i ngā pūkenga ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e poipoi ana i a rātou mā te manaaki me te whakaute. Ko te whakawhanaungatanga tētahi āhuatanga matua ki te kōhanga reo. Ko te whai wāhi nui mai o ngā kuia ki te kōhanga reo, e āta poipoi ana i ngā hononga ā-whakatupuranga o ngā tamariki. Ka poipoi ngā kaimahi i te noho o te tuakana me te teina ki waenga i ngā tamariki. Ka ako ngā tamariki tuākana ki te manaaki me te hāpai i ngā tēina. Ka kōkiri ngā kaimahi i te whai wāhi mātātoa o ngā tamariki ki ngā kaupapa i te hapori, mā te whakawhanake i ngā hononga ki tua atu i te whānau o te kōhanga reo. Ko te whanaungatanga kei te pūtake o ngā taunekeneke katoa. He whakaute ngā tamariki i roto i ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu.
E whanake ana ngā tamariki hei ākonga tūmāia. Ka arotahi ngā akoranga ki tō rātou hapori whānui me ngā āhuatanga e whai pānga nui ana ki Waikato. Ko ngā hītori me ngā kōrero tuku iho, tae atu hoki ki Te Kīngitanga, e tuitui katoatia ana i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te whakatewhatewha me te tūhura i tō rātou taiao whānui. He wāhi ki te kōhanga reo - ki tua atu hoki i te kōhanga reo - hei tirohanga mā ngā tamariki, ā, hei wāhi tākaro anō hoki mō te takitahi, mō te takitini rānei. E wātea ana ngā tamariki ki te mahi auaha mā ngā taputapu, me te whakaatu anō hoki i ō rātou pūmanawa toi. Ka āta whakarite te whānau i te maha o ngā rauemi i roto i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki, ā, e hāpaitia ana tēnei āhuatanga i ngā tūmomo whiringa i ngā taumahi. Ka kitea te ngākau nui o ngā tamariki ki te taiao o tō rātou hapori, o te rohe whānui hoki.
Ka whai ngā kaimahi i ngā tino tukanga whakamahere. He aronga ki te whai pūtaketanga o ngā akoranga ki ngā tamariki. Ka whakamahere ngā kaimahi mō ngā tūmomo rōpū reanga, ā, e ārahi ana hoki tēnei i tā rātou whakapuakitanga. Ka whakaatuhia ngā mahere kia noho mōhio ai ngā mātua ki te hōtaka akoranga. E whai kiko ana ngā mahere ā-wāhanga, hei whakarato i te angamahi ki te whakawhanake i ngā taumahi o ia wiki me ia rā. E whiwhi ana ngā tamariki i ngā hua ka puta i te pai o ngā mahere.
E aroturukitia ana, e tino tuhia ana hoki te ako a ngā tamariki. Kei ngā pūkete a ia tamaiti te pai o ngā mōhiohio mā te whānau, tae atu ki ngā rārangi arowhai whakawhanaketanga, me te kiko o ngā aroturukitanga e pā ana ki te ahu whakamua me ngā whakatutukitanga o ngā tamariki. Ko te reo Māori tētahi aronga matua o ngā aromatawai.
I ngā wā katoa e tuhi haere ana ngā kaimahi i te whai huatanga o ā rātou hōtaka akoranga. E tū auau ana ngā hui, ā, e whai wāhi ana ki te ahu whakamua o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Tuhia ai ngā tauāki aromātai ia wiki. Ka whakaemihia ēnei ki ngā pūrongo a ngā kaimahi, ā, ka whakatakotohia ki ngā hui ā-whānau. E whiwhi ana ngā tamariki i ngā painga e ahu mai ana i ngā mahi whakamahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai hōtaka.
Kua whakaritea e te whānau tētahi mahere rautaki, me ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga hoki. Arotakengia ai ēnei i ia tau. E whai kawenga ana rātou hei kaituku mahi, ā, ka āta whakarite rātou, kia arohaehaengia ngā kaimahi i ia tau. E whakamōhio ana ngā arohaehae i ngā whāinga ako ngaio o ia kaimahi.
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:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo Tuatahi o Tokoroa i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo Tuatahi o Tokoroa is located in the Tokoroa township. It has links to the Waiariki and Raukawa regions. The whānau have links to hapū and iwi across Aotearoa. The kōhanga reo is a place for whānau to affirm their identity, language and traditions. The whānau have a positive reporting history.
Children are developing the skills to speak te reo Māori and show enjoyment in learning about their identity and culture.
Children are well supported to learn te reo Māori. Kaimahi use a range of strategies to strengthen children’s language. They model te reo Māori through giving directions, advice of being thoughtful towards others and praising children’s efforts. There are lots of conversations between kaimahi and children as they participate in learning activities. Questions, hand actions and facial expressions support children to have fun with learning te reo Māori. Kaimahi give attention to some children who need more support to talk with others in te reo Māori. Children are developing skills to be speakers of te reo Māori.
Children learn in an environment where they are treated with care and respect. Relationships are a key feature of the kōhanga reo. The presence of kuia preserves intergenerational connections for the children. Kaimahi foster tuakana teina relationships amongst children. The older children learn to care and support tēina. Kaimahi plan for children to be an active part in community events by developing relationships beyond the kōhanga reo whānau. Whanaungatanga is the basis for all interactions. Children are respectful in their relationships with others.
Children are developing as confident learners. Learning focuses on their local surroundings and what is important to Waikato. Local history and stories including Kīngitanga are integrated into the learning programme. Kaimahi provide children with opportunities to investigate and explore their surroundings. There are places in and around the kōhanga reo where children can investigate and play on their own or with others. Children have the freedom to be creative with equipment and show their artistic talents. Whānau ensure children’s learning is well resourced to support choices of activities. Children show interest in the local and wider environments.
Kaimahi follow sound planning processes. There is a focus purposeful and meaningful learning for children. Kaimahi plan for different age groups that guides them with delivery. This is displayed to keep parents informed about the learning programme. Term plans are detailed to provide a framework to develop the weekly and daily activities. Children benefit from good planning.
Children’s learning is monitored and well documented. Individual profile books contain good information for whānau including developmental checklists and detailed monitoring of children’s progress and achievement. Te reo Māori is a strong focus for assessment.
Kaimahi consistently note the effectiveness of their learning programmes. Regular meetings contribute to progressing children’s learning. Evaluative statements are documented weekly. These are collated into kaimahi reports that are tabled at hui whānau. Children benefit from planning, assessment and programme evaluation.
Whānau have in place a strategic plan and policies and procedures. These are reviewed annually. They are responsible employers ensuring that kaimahi are appraised annually. Appraisals inform professional learning goals for respective kaimahi.
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 whānau continue to develop their skills and expertise to further promote the kaupapa of kōhanga reo.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo Tuatahi o Tokoroa will be in three years.
