The Education Review Office (ERO) in collaboration with whānau, leaders, kaimahi and their communities develop evaluation insights that foster accountability and improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO reports provide important information for hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka is situated on the campus of Massey University in Palmerston North. It caters for 24 mokopuna including up to eight aged under two years. Whānau are committed to providing an environment that nurtures and promotes te reo Māori.
ERO’s Mana Whakahaere review in September 2023 found whānau had established processes and systems to support mokopuna learning and wellbeing. Mokopuna overall development and care informed whānau collective decision making.
Mokopuna express their enjoyment and enthusiasm for learning by actively engaging in various learning activities.
Mokopuna actively engage in meaningful and stimulating learning experiences. Kaimahi offer a range of captivating learning experiences such as rotarota, hand games, body actions and various waiata. They model energy, creativity and enthusiasm in their interactions with mokopuna. Mokopuna participate in mihi whakatau where they learn about their role as tangata whenua through observing whaikōrero and participating in harirū and hongi. Mokopuna learn about the structure and purpose of language as they are gently supported to recite karakia, pepehā and mihimihi. Pēpi are supported to use hand actions, facial expressions, and sounds to demonstrate their understanding. Whānau and kaimahi have created a learning environment that promotes māiatanga, aroha and rangimārie. Both the indoor and outdoor learning areas are creative and organised. Consistent and predictable daily routines provide mokopuna with consistency and adhere to tikanga and kawa of their whare kōhanga reo. Mokopuna growth, creativity and curiosity is fostered by engaging with a range of resources. Mokopuna show confidence and enjoy their learning experiences.
Personnel matters are well managed with employment documentation comprising of individual employment agreements, position descriptions and verified kaimahi safety checks. Kaimahi have actively engaged in Safeguarding and Child Protection training to enhance their understanding and awareness of the Childrens Act 2014. Comprehensive systems and processes are in place for appraisals. These include pūnaha arohaehae, self-appraisal timelines and self-review of appraisal particularly aimed at continuous improvement. Mokopuna benefit from efficient systems and collective whānau decision making.
Whānau agree that a continued approach to improving outcomes for mokopuna is their priority. They are focused on enriching the learning programme to further extend and enhance learning outcomes for mokopuna. Mokopuna benefit from focussed and refined approaches.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:

“Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka ki Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa ki Papaioea, Aotearoa”
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka is situated on the campus of Massey University in Palmerston North.
It caters for 24 mokopuna including up to eight aged under two years. Whānau are committed to providing an environment that nurtures and promotes te reo Māori.
Whānau have efficient systems and processes that enrich the learning and care of mokopuna.
Mokopuna learning is enhanced by efficient whanau management practices. Whānau members actively participate in the day-to-day operations. Whānau are held regularly and well attended. The Ohu group, which consists of dedicated whānau members, provide regular updates on operations. Good financial management practices are in place. Kaimahi regularly share information about mokopuna activities and progress. Health and safety policies and procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure mokopuna safety is prioritised. The Tūtohinga provides clear guidance and sets out a planned approach and direction for whānau.
The strategic plan is informed by Te Ara Tuapae. Whānau vision and aspirations for mokopuna include te reo Māori, strengthening mokopuna and whānau, and te kōhanga reo kaupapa. There is a focus on continual growth and improvement. The annual plan identifies key operational and administrative tasks and when these are to be completed. Whānau collectively make decisions that promote mokopuna learning, wellbeing and their overall best interests.
Mokopuna learning is catered for, monitored, and documented. Kaimahi work well together to plan and monitor mokopuna learning and regularly evaluate the quality of the learning programme. Planning is detailed and guides the implementation of kaupapa mahi. Learning outcomes are designed to cater to the different age groups. Mokopuna learning and progress is captured in Pakiako books. These acknowledge individual mokopuna learning, progress and development overtime. Kaimahi meet regularly to reflect on the programme and their practices to make positive changes and respond to mokopuna needs. Mokopuna benefit from collaborative kaimahi practices.
Other matters related to personnel documentation are yet to be sighted. Whānau and ERO have agreed that documentation will be available during the onsite visit.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
emotional safety including positive guidance and child protection
physical safety including supervision, sleep procedures, accidents, medication, excursion policy and procedures
suitable staffing including appropriate qualifications, police vetting, ratios
emergency procedures and practices for earthquakes, fire, flood, tsunami and pandemic.
ERO recommends that whānau have all relevant documentation for personnel matters made available during the onsite visit.

Ka whakahaeretia tētahi aromātai tāpiri i runga o te whakataunga ā te Toihau Arotake i Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga.
E aromātai ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te whānuitanga me te whai hua o ngā mahi ā te kōhanga reo ki te whakatutuki i ngā take i whakatakotohia ai i roto i te pūrongo aromātai mātauranga o mua atu i tēnei, me ētahi atu wāhanga rānei i tāutuhia ai whai muri o taua aromātai.
Ko tēnei aromātai tāpiri i whakaritea i runga i te aromātai o te whakatutukitanga a te whānau i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo, ki ngā wāhanga i tāutuhia ai e te pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, i mua atu, me ngā take rānei kua tāutuhia whai muri o taua aromātai. Ko ngā whakataunga mō ngā whakapuakitanga e pā ana ki tēnei aromātai, ko te titiro ki:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka ki ngā papa o Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa, i Te Papaioea. Nō te Haratua o 2017 te pūrongo o mua i tāutu ai i ngā take i whai pānga ki te ako a ngā tamariki me te whakahaeretanga, ngā whakaritenga hoki o te kōhanga reo. I kati te kōhanga reo mō tētahi wā, ā, nō te Haratua o tēnei tau tonu i whakatuwhera anōtia ai. Kua tautokona te kōhanga reo e SELO, ā, nā tērā ngā whakapaitanga ake i whakatutukihia ai i roto i te roanga o te wā.
E whai wāhi mātātoa ana ngā tamariki ki te ako mā te tūhura. Nō nā noa nei ngā kaiako tautōhito i whakatūngia ai, ā, kua tīmata ki te mahi ngātahi me te whānau ki te whakarato i tētahi taiao ako e whakaongaonga ana i te ako a ngā tamariki. Nā te whai wāhi mai o te whānau, kua kaha ake te aronga pū ki te tamaiti i roto i te hōtaka akoranga. Kua tino piki ake te whakarato i ngā rauemi ako o roto, o waho hoki. E wātea ana aua rauemi ki ngā tamariki i a rātou e whai ana i ō rātou ake ngākau nuitanga, ā, e whakamahi ana i te reo Māori i roto i ā rātou whakawhitinga kōrero me ā rātou tākaro. E whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro ana ngā tamariki ki waenga i a rātou anō mā te reo Māori.
Ka tuhia, ka whakapuakihia hoki te ako a ngā tamariki me ō rātou whakawhanaketanga. Kei ia tamaiti tētahi pūkete e whakatakoto ana i te kiko o ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki tana ako me tōna whakawhanaketanga. Ka whakatakotohia hoki hei āhuatanga tonu o ngā kitenga, ko te āhua o te reo Māori e whakamahia ana e ngā tamariki. Ka tāpiri atu i ngā whakaahua ki ngā tuhinga o ngā akoranga e whakatakotohia ana ki ngā pūkete. E whakawhanake ana ngā kaimahi i ngā whakaritenga aromatawai papai e kapo atu ana i te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki.
He tokomaha ngā whānau hou ki te kōhanga reo. He nui ā rātou whakapaitanga ki ngā mahi whakahaere o te kōhanga reo i roto i te wā poto. Kua whakatutukihia e te whānau te nuinga o ngā take i whakatakotohia ai ki te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga. I tēnei wā, e arotakengia ana te tūtohinga, tae atu ki te katoa o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga. Kua whakaraupapahia ki te tūtohinga, ko ngā pūnaha e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi. Kua tīmatahia te arohaehae i ngā kaimahi katoa. Kua whakatutukihia e ngā mema ngā whakangungu tuatahi a te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo mō te penapena pūtea me te aroturuki pūtea. Arowhaingia ai te whare me ngā rawa i ia te wā. Ka whakamahia e te whānau aua mōhiohio hei whakapai ake i te taiao o ngā tamariki. E whakahaere ana te whānau i te kōhanga reo hei tino painga mō ngā tamariki.
Me whakapakari ake i te aromātai o roto. Hei āta whakatau i te riterite o ngā mahi ki te āta aroturuki mārika i ngā whakahaeretanga katoa, me whakaaro te whānau ki ngā tūmomo huarahi ka taea e rātou te whai hei pūrongo, hei whakamahere ake i ngā whakapai tonutanga ki te kōhanga reo.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka whakahaere anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te aromātai whai muri o Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

A supplementary evaluation is undertaken at the discretion of the Chief Review Officer of the Education Review Office (ERO).
ERO evaluates the extent and effectiveness of actions a kōhanga reo has taken towards addressing issues specified in its previous ERO evaluation and/or any additional areas identified since that evaluation.
This supplementary evaluation is based on an evaluation of the performance of the kōhanga reo governing body and management in relation to areas identified in the previous ERO report or issues identified since that evaluation. The terms of reference for this evaluation area to investigate:
Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira – including sufficient and suitable indoor learning resources and extending te reo Māori learning through exploration
Planning and Evaluation – including documenting children’s individual learning and development including te reo Māori and whānau management which consists of charter review, personnel, property and financial management,
and any other significant issues identified since the previous review.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka is on the campus of Massey University in Palmerston North. The previous report of May 2017 identified concerns relating to children’s learning and the management and operations of the kōhanga reo. The kōhanga reo went into recess for a period of time and re-opened again in May this year. SELO support has been provided to the kōhanga reo which has resulted in improvements over time.
Children are actively engaged in learning through exploration. The newly-appointed and experienced kaiako have begun work alongside whānau to provide a learning environment that stimulates children’s learning. Whānau input has contributed to a more child-centred learning programme. The provision of indoor and outdoor learning resources has significantly improved. Children have access to these resources as they follow their interests and use te reo Māori in their conversations and play. Children communicate with each other in te reo Māori.
Children’s learning and development is documented and shared. Each child has a portfolio that contains detailed information about their learning and development. The ways in which te reo Māori used by children is also recorded as part of observations. Photos complement the records of learning that are included in the portfolios. Kaimahi are developing good assessment practice that capture children’s learning and progress.
Many of the whānau are new to the kōhanga reo. There have made notable improvements to kōhanga reo management in a short period of time. The whānau have addressed most matters raised in the previous ERO report. The charter including all policies and procedures are currently being reviewed. Personnel management systems are outlined in the charter. Appraisal of all employees has begun. Members have had initial training from Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust for budget planning and monitoring. Property maintenance checks are carried out regularly. This information is used by the whānau to improve children’s environment. The whānau is managing the kōhanga reo in the best interest of the children.
Internal evaluation requires strengthening. In order to ensure that effective monitoring of all operations is consistent, the whānau should consider ways to report and further plan for ongoing improvements in the kōhanga reo.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
the whānau develop strong internal evaluation practices to support the effective management and operations of the kōhanga reo for children.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka ki ngā papa o Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa, ki Te Papaioea. E poipoi ana te kōhanga reo i ngā tamariki a ngā ākonga me ngā kaimahi o te whare wānanga, me ētahi atu whānau hoki o te ope hōia.
Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, he tino nui te rerekē haere o ngā whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te kōhanga reo. Kāhore he kaiako e mau ana i te Tohu Whakapakari ki te kōhanga reo. I tēnei wā, kua iti rawa ake te tatauranga tamariki o te kōhanga reo i te haurua o te tatauranga ki te raihana.
He pakari te whakamahinga a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori, ā, ka whakatinana rātou i ngā tikanga Māori, puta noa i te rā.
E whakawhanake ana te tūmāia o ngā tamariki ki tētahi wāhi reo Māori. Whakamihia ai, whakanuia ai hoki ngā tamariki i ia te wā mō tā rātou whakamahinga i te reo Māori. Ka whakamahia e ngā kaimahi te reo Māori mā ngā huarahi poipoi e whakapakari ana i te tūmāia o ngā tamariki hei ākonga. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi e totoro ana, e whakawhānui ana hoki i tō rātou mōhiotanga ki te reo Māori. Ka whakamahi ngā tamariki i te reo Māori puta noa i te rā.
E rongo ana ngā tamariki i ngā hononga papai ki te taha o ētahi atu. He maha ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te mahi takitahi ki te taha o tētahi kaimahi. Ka aro atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā matea me ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā tamariki. He maha ngā wā ka rangona te pārekareka o te noho tahi o ngā tamariki. He harikoa ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo.
Ka tūhura ngā tamariki i tō rātou taiao mā ngā huarahi auaha e whai pūtake ana. Ka poipoi ngā kaimahi i te tū takitahi, ā, ka akiaki rātou i te tūhura haere a ngā tamariki. He pakari ngā tamariki ki te nukunuku haere ki ngā tūmomo wāhi ako. Ka ako ngā tamariki i tō rātou tuakiri, i tō rātou tūnga anō hoki ki te ao Māori, me tō rātou whai wāhi nui ki te whānau.
He pai ki ngā tamariki te whakapuaki i ō rātou mōhiotanga ki ngā tikanga me te ao Māori. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i te kōkiri me te taki a ia tamaiti i ngā karakia, ngā whakatau, ngā waiata, me ngā taumahi ako a te katoa. Ka ako rātou i ngā atua Māori me tō rātou tūnga hei tangata whenua ki te kōhanga reo. Whakanuia ai ngā tamariki i ia te wā mō ā rātou whakamātau me ā rātou whakatutukitanga. Ka tūmāia ngā tamariki ki te ao Māori.
Kāhore i te rawaka / rahi ngā tūmomo rauemi o roto, hei hāpai i ō rātou ngākau nuitanga. Kua tāutuhia e ngā kaimahi, koia nei tētahi āhuatanga nui mō ngā tamariki, ā, e pūrongo tonuhia ana e rātou te take nei ki te whānau. Kāhore e āta whakatairangatia ana te ako me te tūhura a ngā tamariki katoa i te reo Māori.
E whiwhi ana ngā tamariki i ngā wheako akoranga ā-kaupapa e whai pūtake ana, ā, i āta whakamaheretia ai hoki. E whai hua ana te whakamahere a ngā kaimahi i ngā taumahi ako e whai pānga ana ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo ngākau nuitanga me ngā tūmomo āheinga o ngā tamariki. He aronga nui ki te whakawhanake i te reo Māori mā ngā huarahi māoriori e whai pūtake ana. Whakapūmau ai ngā kaimahi i te tū o ngā hui i ia te wā, ā, ka tātari, ka tuhi haere hoki rātou i te whai huatanga o te hōtaka ki te hāpai i ngā tamariki katoa.
Kāhore te kōhanga reo e āta whakahaerehia ana. Ko ētahi o ngā wero ki te whakahaeretanga, ko te whakatinanatanga o tētahi tūtohinga mārama me te hāngaitanga o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga o roto ki te wā, me te whakatakotoranga anō hoki i te whakahaere me te arohaehae a ngā kaimahi, te tiaki i ngā papa, me te whakamahere, te aroturuki anō hoki i te pūtea o ia tau. Ahakoa i toro atu te whānau ki te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo whai muri i te arotake o mua, kīhai i ū ki taua tautoko. He take tēnei hei tirohanga wawe mā te whānau. Kāhore ngā tamariki e whiwhi ana i ngā hua ka puta i te whakahaeretanga pai o te kōhanga reo.
Kāhore e āta whakatakotohia ana te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki i roto i Te Whāriki, ā, kāhore hoki tēnei e tino pūrongotia ana mā ngā mātua. Kāhore anō ngā pūkete kia āta whakaritea hei tohu i ngā wheako akoranga reo a ngā tamariki, me te tupu o ia tamaiti, tae atu ki te reo me ngā tikanga Māori.
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.
Ahakoa ngā wero, e ai ki te whānau kei te noho pūmau rātou ki tō rātou kōhanga reo. E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia āwhina mai te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo i te whānau ki te whakawhanake i tētahi mahere ka whakapakari ake i te whakahaeretanga kia whai hua ai, kia toitū ai.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka i roto ngā tau e rua.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka is on Massey University Campus in Palmerston North. The kōhanga reo caters for children of students and staff at the campus and some whānau from the local army base.
Since the previous ERO review, turnover of whānau and staff has been significant. There is no kaiako on site who holds the Tohu Whakapakari. The kōhanga reo is currently operating well below half its licensed enrolment capacity.
Children communicate confidently in te reo Māori and practice tikanga Māori throughout the day.
Children are developing as confidence in a te reo Māori environment. Children are frequently praised and acknowledged for their use of te reo Māori. Te reo Māori is used by kaimahi in nurturing ways to build children’s confidence as learners. Children are engaged in a variety of activities that extends and broadens their knowledge of te reo Māori. Children use te reo Māori throughout the day.
Children experience positive relationships with others. There are many opportunities for children to work individually with kaimahi. Kaimahi respond to the needs and interests of children. Children are frequently heard enjoying each other’s company. Children are happy at kōhanga reo.
Children explore their environment in creative and meaningful ways. Kaimahi foster independence and encourage children to explore. Children move with confidence between the different learning areas. Children learn about who they are, their place in te ao Māori and their connection with whānau.
Children like to share what they know about tikanga and te ao Māori. Kaimahi encourage individuals to initiate and lead karakia, whakatau, waiata and shared learning activities. They learn about atua Māori and their role as tangata whenua in their kōhanga reo. Children are regularly praised for their efforts and achievements. Children are confident in te ao Māori.
Children do not have sufficient indoor resources to support their interests. Kaimahi have identified this as a high need for children and continue to report this to whānau. Te reo Māori learning and exploration for all children is not maximised.
Children receive meaningful and well planned kaupapa learning experiences. Kaimahi effectively plan activities of learning that reflect the diverse interests and abilities of children. There is a strong emphasis on developing te reo Māori in natural and meaningful ways. Kaimahi maintain regular hui where they examine and record how well the programme supports all children.
The kōhanga reo is not well managed. Management challenges include the implementation of a clear charter with up to date policies and procedures, personnel management and appraisal, property maintenance and annual budget planning and monitoring. While the whānau has sought support from TKRNT since the previous review, this support has not been sustained. This is a matter of urgency for the whānau. Children do not benefit from effective kōhanga reo management.
Children’s language development across Te Whāriki is not well recorded and reported to parents. Portfolios are yet to be well established to show children’s language learning experiences and their individual growth, including te reo and tikanga Māori.
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.
Despite the challenges whānau report are committed to their kōhanga reo. ERO recommends Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust assist whānau to develop a plan for building effective and sustainable management.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Uru Karaka will be within two years.
