E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōpopoti ki te taha o te marae o Maungatapu, ki te whanga tonu o Ōpōpoti, ki Tauranga. Ka whai pānga matua te marae me te taiao o te whanga ki ngā akoranga a ngā mokopuna.
He whai whakaarotanga nui tō ngā hononga o ngā mokopuna ki ngā pakeke me ō rātou hoa.
E rumakina ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi hōtaka e aro nui ana ki te whanaungatanga. He mārama ngā tūmanako o ngā kaimahi mō te āhua tonu o te whakawhanaunga o ngā mokopuna ki ētahi atu. Kua āta whakaritea ngā mahinga o ia rā. Ka tau wawe ngā mokopuna ki te kōhanga reo, ā, he mauritau anō hoki te āhua o ā rātou taunekeneke ki ētahi atu. Ka toro auaha atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā waiata i ngā wā whakawhitiwhiti o ngā mokopuna, puta noa i te hōtaka o ia rā. Ka akiaki rātou i ngā tuākana ki te tiaki i ō rātou tēina. Ka tūmāia ngā mokopuna ki te taunekeneke ki waenga i a rātou anō.
Ka whai wāhi atu ngā mokopuna ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo wheako e hāpai ana i a rātou ki te ako i ō rātou tuakiri me ō rātou tūrangawaewae. Toro atu ai rātou ki te marae, te wharenui, me te taiao o te hapori i ia te wā. Ka whai wāhi atu rātou ki ngā huihuinga i te marae, ā, i reira rātou ako ai i tō rātou tū hei tangata whenua. Ka ako ngā mokopuna i ngā hītori me ngā kōrero tuku iho a te whānau, a te hapū, ā, a te iwi hoki. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou pepeha, ā, he mahi ā-ringa hoki e whakapūmau ana i ō rātou hononga ki ngā tino pou whenua, pērā i ngā maunga, ngā whare, me te moana. E ako ana ngā mokopuna i ō rātou hononga ki te hapori whānui.
Ka whakamahere ngātahi ngā kaimahi. Ka whakawhiti kōrero rātou ki te whānau, ā, ka whai wāhi atu ō rātou wawata mō ā rātou tamariki i roto i ngā mahere. Ka āta whakarite rātou i te noho mōhio o ngā whānau ki ngā akoranga me te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna, mā ngā pae pāpāho pāpori, mā ngā pūkete ako, ā, mā ngā whakawhitinga kōrero hoki. Aroturukitia ai ngā akoranga a ngā mokopuna i ia te wā. Ka aromātai ngā kaimahi i te kounga o te hōtaka, ā, ka tāutu i ngā āhuatanga e whai hua ana, e wero ana rānei i ngā putanga ki ngā mokopuna. Ka whakawhiti whakaaro ngātahi, ka whakatika ngātahi hoki ngā kaimahi i ngā wero e pā ana ki ngā akoranga, i ngā hui kaimahi. E hāngai ana ngā akoranga a ngā mokopuna ki ō rātou matea me ō rātou ngākau nuitanga e pupū ake ana.
E noho pūmau ana te whānau ki te kawe atu i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo, hei painga hoki mō rātou. E mōhio ana rātou ki ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga mahi e hāpai ai i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo me ngā whakahaeretanga. He mārama ō rātou tūmanako, ā, he matawhānui ā rātou tukanga e pā ana ki ngā hui ā-whānau, tae atu hoki ki ngā tuhinga me ngā pūrongo e whakatakotohia ai ki ngā hui ā-whānau. Kei te tūtohinga te tikanga whakaaro, ngā mātāpono matua, me ngā whāinga o te kōhanga reo. E whāia ana ngā tukanga me ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. He auau te arotake i ngā kaupapa here me te aroturukitanga o ngā whāinga rautaki. Ka tāutu te mahere ā-tau i tēnā e mahia ana i te tau, tae atu ki ngā tahua pūtea e hāpai ai i ngā whāinga me te ahu whakamua. E hāngai katoa ana ngā tukanga whakahaere kaimahi ki te wā, tae atu ki ngā mahi arowhai a ngā pirihimana, me ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi. E hāpai ana te tukanga arohaehae ā-tau ki te tāutu i te whakawhanaketanga ngaio a ngā kaimahi. E noho matua ana te ako a ngā mokopuna me tō rātou waiora.
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:
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia haere tonu te whakatairanga ake a te whānau i te kounga o te whakahaeretanga me ngā pūnaha whakaritenga, hei āta whakapūmau i ngā tino putanga ki ngā mokopuna.

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 Ōpōpoti sits beside Maungatapu Marae, in Ōpopoti Bay, Tauranga. The marae and harbour environment are integral to mokopuna learning.
Mokopuna relationships with adults and their peers are thoughtful.
Mokopuna are immersed in a programme that places a strong emphasises on whanaungatanga. Kaimahi have clear expectations about how mokopuna connect with and relate to others. The daily routines are well established. Mokopuna settle quickly and appear secure in their interactions with others. Kaimahi creatively use waiata to transition mokopuna through the daily programme. They encourage tuākana to look after their teina. Mokopuna confidently interact with each other.
Mokopuna participate in a wide range of experiences that supports them to learn who they are and where they are from. They regularly visit the marae, wharenui and the local environment. They participate in activities of the marae where they learn their role as tāngata whenua. Mokopuna learn the history and stories of whānau, hapū and iwi. Kaimahi encourage mokopuna to share their pepeha, using hand actions to reinforce their connections to significant landmarks such as maunga, whare, and moana. Mokopuna are learning about their connections to the local area
Kaimahi plan collaboratively. They consult with whanau and include their aspirations for their tamaiti in their planning. They ensure whānau are kept well informed about mokopuna learning and progress, through social media, learning profiles and conversations. Mokopuna learning is regularly monitored. Kaimahi evaluate the quality of the programme, identifying strengths and challenges in terms of mokopuna outcomes. Challenges to learning are discussed and solved as a team at kaimahi hui. Mokopuna learning is based on their emerging needs and interests.
Whānau are committed to managing the kōhanga reo “for whānau, by whānau”. They know their roles and responsibilities for supporting kōhanga reo kaupapa and operations. They have clear expectations and thorough processes for whānau meetings, documentation and reporting at whānau hui. The Tutohinga contains the philosophy, guiding principles and aims of the kōhanga. Health and safety procedures and practices are followed. There is regular policy review and monitoring of strategic goals. The annual plan identifies what is happening during the year including budgets for supporting the goals and progress. All personnel management processes are up to date including, police vetting and job descriptions. The annual appraisal process helps identify kaimahi professional development. Mokopuna learning and wellbeing are a priority.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
ERO recommend that the whānau continue to enhance the quality of management and operations systems to guarantee positive outcomes for mokopuna.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōpopoti ki te taha o te marae o Maungatapu, i te whanga o Ōpopoti, i Tauranga. He wāhi whakahirahira tēnei ki te whānau, te hapū, me te iwi. Nā tētahi kuia te kōhanga reo i whakatū, ā, e whai wāhi matua ana ia ki ngā whakahaeretanga o ia rā. He ākonga o mua te nuinga o ngā kaimahi ki te kōhanga reo. He tokomaha ngā whānau hou e ako ana i te reo Māori, ā, he hou hoki rātou ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo.
Ka kitea te pakari o ngā tamariki ki te āta whakawhanaunga ki ētahi atu.
He pai te whakawhanaunga a ngā tamariki hei tuakana, hei teina, ā, ki te taha anō hoki o ētahi atu. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i te manaakitanga me te aroha. Ka akiaki i ngā tuākana ki te tiaki me te ārahi i ō rātou tēina ki roto i te hōtaka akoranga. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā tuākana ki te whakawhanake i ō rātou pūkenga ki te ārahi, mā te taki i te hōtaka ōkawa me ngā taumahi ako. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki ngā kaupapa i te marae, ā, i konei rātou taunekeneke ai ki ngā kaumātua. Ka whakarato te whānau i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te tūhonohono atu ki te hapori whānui, me te whakawhanake i tō rātou māramatanga ki te tū o te tangata whenua. Ka whakakoia ngā kaimahi i ngā whakamātau me ngā whakatutukitanga a ia tamaiti. He harikoa, he mauritau hoki ngā tamariki.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki te tūhura haere. Kua whakaritea te hōtaka akoranga hei whakatairanga ake i te tūhura. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi o roto, o waho hoki mā ngā tamariki. Ka hāpai rātou i ngā tamariki ki te whai me te whakawhanake ake i ō rātou ake ngākau nuitanga me ō rātou ake pūmanawa. Kua whakatakotohia ngā mahinga hei hāpai i te āta whakawhitiwhiti haere a ngā tamariki ki ngā tūmomo wāhi me ngā tūmomo kaupapa. Ka tākaro, ka ako hoki ngā pēpi ki te taha o ō rātou tuākana. He tākare, he hihiri hoki ngā kaimahi, ā, ka whakatairanga rātou i te ngahau me te katakata i roto i te ako. He ākonga pākiki ngā tamariki.
Ko te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori te kaupapa matua. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki ka whakawhanake i te reo o ngā tamariki me te whānau, pērā i te whakatauira, me te akiaki. Ka whakangahau rātou i te ako reo mā te reo ā-tinana me te whakamāhanahana i ngā mahi. Ka tāwhai ngā tamariki i ngā kupu me ngā rerenga kōrero. Ka kitea te māramatanga o ngā pēpi ki tō rātou reo ā-tinana me te āhua o ō rātou kanohi. Ka whakapuakihia e ngā kaimahi ngā reo o te pōhiri, te tangihanga, ngā karakia, me ngā kōrerorero mā ngā tamariki. E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
E ārahi ana ngā matea ako o ngā tamariki i te aronga rautaki a te whānau. Kua whakaritea ngā mahere rautaki me ngā mahere ā-tau. Kua arotakengia ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga hei āta whakarite i te noho mārama o ngā kōrero mā te whānau. He pai ki te whānau te aronga whakamua o te kōhanga reo, ā, ka tautokona hoki e rātou. Ka whai wāhi matua tētahi kuia ki te kōhanga reo, ā, ka hāpai, ka ārahi hoki ia i te whānau. Ka whakamahia te arotake whaiaro ki te tāutu i ngā wāhanga hei whakapai ake, puta noa i ngā wāhanga katoa o te whakahaeretanga.
E tupu haere ana te whai wāhi atu a te whānau ki te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Kua whakatūngia ētahi wānanga mō ngā whānau hou, kia piki ake ai tō rātou mōhiotanga me tō rātou māramatanga ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Kua tohaina ngā tūnga ārahi matua ki waenga i te whānau, te heamana, me te kaiwhakahaere. Ka whakamahi ngātahitia ngā pūmanawa me ngā pūkenga hei hāpai i te whakahaeretanga o ngā āhuatanga uaua ka whakapai ake i ngā mahi whakahaere. Ka whakatūngia ngā hui ā-whānau, ā, he pai te tae ā-tinana atu. Kua whakaritea ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi. Kua whakatutukihia ngā mahi arohaehae, tae atu ki ngā whakaritenga ka whāia tonuhia e ngā kaimahi ā muri ake nei.
E whanake ana te māramatanga o ngā kaimahi ki te whakamahere me te aromatawai. He mārama, he ngohengohe hoki ngā mahere hōtaka. Ka aroturuki, ka tuhi haere hoki ngā kaimahi i te ako a ngā tamariki mā te mātai mokopuna me ngā kitenga, ngā tauira mahi anō hoki e whai pānga ana ki ā rātou whāinga ako. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā hōtaka whakangungu, hei whakapiki ake i tō rātou āheinga, otirā, hei painga mō ngā tamariki.
Kāhore ngā kaimahi e aromātai ana i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga. Kāhore rātou e hui ana i ia te wā ki te whakawhiti kōrero mō te āhua o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki, ā, ki te tuhi rānei i ngā whakaritenga ka whai ake ki te whakapai ake i ā rātou mahi. Kāhore te ako a ngā tamariki e pūrongotia ana i ia te wā ki ngā hui ā-whānau. Kāhore te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki i roto i ngā akoranga e aroturukitia ana i ia te wā.
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 Ōpopoti i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōpopoti is next to Maungatapu Marae Ōpopoti Bay Tauranga. The location is of significance to whānau, hapū and iwi. A kuia who established the kōhanga reo is an integral part of the daily operations. Most of the kaimahi are graduates of the kōhanga reo. Many new whānau are learners of te reo Māori and new to the kaupapa of kōhanga reo.
Children demonstrate confidence to interact positively with others.
Children interact positively as tuakana teina and with others. Kaimahi model manaakitanga and aroha. Tuakana are encouraged to look after and guide their teina in the learning programme. There are opportunities for tuakana to develop their leadership skills by leading in the formal programme and learning activities’. Children participate in marae activities where they interact with kaumātua. Whānau provide opportunities for children to build relationships with the wider community and develop understanding about roles as tangata whenua. Kaimahi affirm individuals’ efforts and achievements. Children are happy and settled.
Children are learning to be explorers. The learning programme is organised to promote exploration. Kaimahi provide children with a range of indoor and outdoor activities. They support children to pursue and develop their individual interests and strengths. Routines are in place to support children to move confidently between spaces and activities. Babies play and learn alongside their tuakana. Kaimahi are enthusiastic, energetic to promote fun and laughter in learning. Children are curious learners.
Children’s te reo Māori learning is a priority. Kaimahi use a range of strategies by modelling, using prompts to develop children’s and whānau language. They make language learning fun through body language and animation. Children mimic words and sentences. Babies show their understanding using body language and facial expression. Kaimahi expose children to the language for pōhiri, tangihanga, karakia and conversations. Children are developing as speakers of te reo Māori.
Children’s learning needs guides the whānau strategic direction. Strategic and annual plans are in place. Policy and procedures have been reviewed to ensure transparency and clarity for whānau. Whānau are positive and supportive of the future direction of the kōhanga reo. A kuia is an integral part of the kōhanga reo who provides support and guidance for whānau. Self-review used to identify areas to be improved across all areas of operations.
Whānau participation in the management of the kōhanga reo is growing. Wānanga have been organised for new whānau to increase their knowledge and understanding about the kōhanga reo kaupapa. Key leadership roles are shared amongst whānau, the chairperson and kaiwhakahaere. The combined experience and skills are used to support managing challenges to improve operational practices. Hui ā-whānau are planned and well attended. Personnel management processes are in place. Appraisals have been completed including next steps for kaimahi.
Kaimahi understanding about planning and assessment is developing. Programme planning is clear and flexible. Kaimahi monitor and record children’s learning using mātai mokopuna, observations and samples of work related to their learning goals. Kaimahi participate in training programmes to increase their collective capability in the interests of outcomes for children.
Kaimahi do not evaluate the quality of the learning programme. They do not meet regularly to discuss how well children are learning or record next steps to improve their practices. Children’s learning is not regularly reported at hui ā-whānau. Children’s progress in learning is not regularly monitored.
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 recommendation:
Develop and implement clear expectations to raise the quality of learning for children.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōpopoti will be in three years.
