View on mapKua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, ngā kaimahi me ngā hapori ki te whakawhanake i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i te kawenga takohanga me te whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā whānau, ngā hapū, me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga o Te Taunga Mai o Ngā Mokopuna ki Tauwhare, ki te tapa o te rohe o Waikato. E tū ana ki te marae o Tauwhare Pā. Ko Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Iti o Hauā tōna ingoa tuatahi, tae noa ki tana kapinga. Koia nei te arotake aromātai tuatahi, mai i tōna whakatuwheratanga i te tau 2018.
Ka kitea te whanaungatanga o ngā mokopuna mā roto mai i te papai o ā rātou taunekeneke me ō rātou hononga whai pūtake ki te taha o ētahi atu.
E whai wāhi atu ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi wāhi e hāpaitia ana tā rātou ako. Ka whakatō ngā kaimahi i ngā uara o te aroha, te manaaki, te awhi, me te tautoko. Ka whai pūtake ngā taumahi, ā, ka hāpai i te ako ngātahi a ngā tuākana me ngā tēina. Ka ngākau nui ngā mokopuna ki ngā taunekeneke papai ki te taha o ngā pakeke me ō rātou hoa. Ka whakamihi ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna mō tā rātou whai wāhi mātātoa, puta noa i ngā wāhanga katoa o te kōhanga reo. E ākina ana te ako a ngā mokopuna i te reo Māori. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki e hāpai ana i te whakawhanaketanga reo ki ngā horopaki ōkawa me ngā horopaki ōpaki. E hāpaitia ana te ārahi a ngā mokopuna tuākana i ngā kaupapa pērā i te karakia me te mihimihi. Ka hāngai ētahi kaupapa ki Te Tumuaki o Te Kīngitanga, ā, ka tuituia ki te hōtaka akoranga. E hāpai ana taua tūāhuatanga i te mōhiotanga o ngā mokopuna ki ō rātou hononga ki te iwi o Ngāti Hauā me Te Kīngitanga. E tautāwhitia ana ngā mokopuna ki te whanaungatanga.
E whanake ana te whānau i ngā huarahi whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. Tū ai ngā hui ā-whānau i ia te wā, ā, he kaha te taetae atu. E whakahaerehia ana ngā take kaimahi. He tuhinga tūranga mahi, he kirimana mahi hoki ā ia kaimahi, ā, ka whakahoungia, ka whakahāngaitia hoki ki ngā herenga ā-ture o te wā. Ko ngā mokopuna te aronga matua o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Me arotake te whānau i ā rātou tukanga aromātai o roto, kia pai ake ai tā rātou āheinga ki te whakatau i ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei:
Me arotake i te whakamahere hōtaka me te aromatawai i ngā mokopuna. I tēnei wā, kāhore aua tūāhuatanga e whakatakoto ana i ngā wāhanga matua e tika ana mō te whakamahere me te aromatawai. Me whakawhanake, me whakatinana hoki i te aromātai hōtaka. Kua tae ki te wā kia toro atu te whānau ki te tautoko mō ngā kaimahi, kia āhei ai rātou ki te whakapakari ake i ō rātou āheinga me ō rātou pūmanawa ki te whakapuaki i tētahi hōtaka whai hua mā ngā mokopuna.
Ahakoa e wātea ana ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, me whakatinana te whānau i tētahi tukanga ka arotake i ia te wā i ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga, hei āta whakatau i te hāngaitanga o ērā ki ngā herenga ā-ture o tēnei wā. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā e aro nuitia ana ki tō rātou hauora, tō rātou haumaru, me tō rātou waiora.
Kāhore anō kia whakatinanahia te mahere ā-tau. He mea uaua te tātari i te āhua o ngā mahi e whakatinana ana, e aroturuki ana hoki i te whakahaeretanga o ngā wāhanga matua o ngā whakaritenga. Kua tae ki te wā kia whakatūngia tētahi mahere ā-tau e āta whakatau ai i te whakatutukitanga o ngā mahi whakahaere i te tari, i roto tonu i te wā e tika ana.
Ahakoa ka tautuhi te mahere rautaki i ngā kaupapa matua mō te whakawhanaketanga o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei, kāhore he mahere mahi hei āta whakatau i te aroturukitanga me te pūrongotanga o ngā putanga. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā e whakaarohia ana ō rātou matea mō meāke nei.
Kāhore anō kia whakatutukihia ngā akoako hōneatanga ohotata e pā ana ki te rū whenua. Me āta whakatau te whānau i te whakatutukitanga me te tuhi haere o ngā akoako rū whenua, hei āta whakatau i te haumaru o ngā mokopuna.
I te wā o te arotake, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, arā, ki:
te haumaru ā-whatumanawa, tae atu ki te ārahi mauritau me te ārai tamariki
te haumaru ā-tinana, tae atu ki te mātakitaki tamariki, ngā whakaritenga whakamoe, ngā aituā, te whāngai rongoā; me ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga hoki mō ngā haerenga whakawaho
te tū tika o ngā kaimahi, tae atu ki te tika o ngā tohu mātauranga, ngā mahi arowhai a ngā pirihimana, me te tatauranga ki waenga i te kaiako me te tamaiti
ngā whakaritenga ohotata me ngā tikanga ohotata e pā ana ki te rū whenua, te ahi, te waipuke, te tai āniwhaniwha, me te mate urutā.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia mahi te whānau ki te taha o te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te whakawhanake i tētahi mahere mahi me ngā rārangi wā ka whakatika i ngā wāhanga i tautuhia ai ki tēnei pūrongo hei āhuatanga kāhore e tutuki ana ngā herenga ā-ture.

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. ERO’s reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Taunga Mai o Ngā Mokopuna is located in Tawhare on the outskirts of the Waikato region. It is situated within Te Marae o Tauwhare Pa. The original name of the kōhanga reo was Te Iti o Haua until its closure. This is the first evaluation review since the opening in 2018.
Mokopuna demonstrate whanaungatanga through their positive interactions and meaningful relationships with others.
Mokopuna participate in an environment where they supported to learn. Kaimahi instil values of aroha, manaaki, awhi and tautoko. Purposeful activities encourage tuākana and teina to learn alongside each other. Mokopuna enjoy positive interactions with adults and their peers. Kaimahi praise mokopuna for their active participation across aspects of the kōhanga reo. Mokopuna are encouraged to learn te reo Māori. Kaimahi use a range of strategies to support language development in formal and informal situations. Older mokopuna are supported to lead activities such as karakia and mihimihi. Kaupapa specific learning of Te Tumuaki, the kingmaker of Te Kīngitanga is integrated into the learning programme. This supports mokopuna to increase awareness of their connections to the local iwi Ngati Haua and Te Kingiitanga. Mokopuna are embraced in whanaungatanga.
Whānau are developing ways in which to manage the kōhanga reo. Whānau hui are regular and well attended. Personnel matters are managed. Kaimahi have job descriptions and individual employment contracts that are updated and align to current legislation. Mokopuna are the focus of whānau whakahaere.
Whānau should review their internal evaluation processes to be better positioned to make decisions on the following areas:
Programme planning and mokopuna assessment need to be reviewed. Currently, neither contain critical elements required of planning and assessment. Programme evaluation needs to be developed and implemented. It is time for whānau to seek support for kaimahi to build their capability and capacity to deliver an effective programme for the mokopuna.
Whilst health and safety policies and procedures are available, whānau need to implement a process to regularly review policies and procedures to ensure these align to current legislation. Mokopuna benefit when their health, safety and wellbeing is prioritised.
Implementation of the annual plan has not yet happened. It is difficult to gauge how the administration of key aspects of operations are being implemented and monitored. It is time to establish an annual plan to ensure key administration tasks are completed in a timely manner.
While the strategic plan identifies what the priorities are for the future development of the kōhanga reo, there is no action plan to ensure the outcomes are monitored and reported. Mokopuna benefit when their future needs are considered.
Emergency evacuations practices for earthquake have not been carried out. Whānau must ensure requirements for earthquake drills are carried out and recorded appropriately to ensure the safety of mokopuna.
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.
To meet compliance requirements they must:
implement a process of assessment to monitor and record children’s learning and establish a process to evaluate the effectiveness of the learning programme.
[Regulation 43 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; C1 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008].
ensure Te Kōhanga Reo curriculum is informed by planning, implementation and evaluation that demonstrates an understanding of children’s learning, their interests, whānau and life contexts [Regulations 43 (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; C2 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ensure there is an ongoing process of internal evaluation to help the kōhanga reo maintain and improve the quality of its education and care
[Regulations 46 (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; GMA6 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
Whānau must ensure there is a process to implement and monitor the progress of key aspects of the annual plan of operations [Regulation 46 Education (Early Childhood Services] Regulations 2008; GMA 8 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ensure adults providing education and care are familiar with relevant emergency earthquake drills and carry these out with children on an at least three-monthly basis [Regulation 46 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, (HS8) Licensing criteria for kōhanga reo affiliated with the Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO and the Kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation that whānau work alongside the district office to develop an action plan and timelines to address the areas of non-compliance identified in this report.
