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 hapū me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o E Tipu E Rea Taraia ki Maraenui, ki Ahuriri. E noho pūmau ana te whānau ki te whakatairanga i te tikanga whakaaro kua whakaraupapahia ki Te Korowai. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2018, kua whakatūngia e te whānau ētahi kaimahi hou. He pai ngā hononga ki waenga i te kōhanga reo me te hapori.
Ka whakapuakihia e ngā mokopuna te whanaungatanga mā roto mai i ō rātou wheako ako whai hua.
E poipoia ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao ako e kaha tautoko ana i a rātou. I ngā wā katoa, ka whakamihi, ka akiaki hoki ngā kaimahi me te whānau, hei rautaki ki te whakapiki ake i te ngākau titikaha o ngā mokopuna, me te whai pūtaketanga o ā rātou taunekeneke. He ngāwari, he atawhai ngā kaimahi, ā, ka rāhiri, ka poipoi hoki i ngā mokopuna. Kei te harikoa ngā mokopuna i roto i ā rātou taunekeneke ki ngā pakeke, ā, ka kitea hoki ngā hononga ki waenga i ngā tuākana me ngā tēina. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna tuākana ki te ārahi me te tautoko, tētahi i tētahi, i ngā wā ōkawa, pērā i ngā wā o te karakia, te waiata, me te mihimihi. Kua tuituia ki te hōtaka akoranga, ko ngā pūrākau, ngā rotarota, me te tangongitanga o ngā waiata, hei whakawhānui ake i ngā puna kupu a ngā mokopuna. He hihiri te wāhi ako o roto, ā, ka poipoi i ngā tūmomo rōpū reanga. Ko te āheinga ki te toro atu ki te taiao o waho, ka whakatairanga ake anō i te taha tūhura o ngā mokopuna, ā, ka hāpai hoki ngā kaimahi i te whai a ngā mokopuna i ō rātou ngākau nuitanga me tā rātou tūhura i te taiao whānui. E puāwai ana ngā mokopuna hei ākonga māia.
Ko ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te whakamahere me te aromātai hōtaka, kua pou herea ki te whanaungatanga. Ka whakamahere ngātahi ngā kaimahi, ā, ka whakauru i ngā whakapuakitanga whakaaro a ngā mema o te whānau. Ka āta tūhono te mahere ako ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo, ā, ka whakatakoto hoki i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi hei whakahihiri, hei kapo hoki i te taha pākiki o ngā mokopuna. Ka arotahi te aromātai hōtaka ki te kounga o te hōtaka, ki ngā putanga ki ngā mokopuna, me ngā whakapaitanga ka whāia i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whakaaro huritao ngā kaimahi ki ā rātou whakaritenga, ā, ka arotahi ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki ngā putanga ki ngā mokopuna, me te whakatau i te hōtaka akoranga i āta whakamaheretia ai hei painga mō ngā mokopuna. Ko te ako a ngā mokopuna tētahi aronga matua.
E whai hua ana ngā tukanga a te whānau mō te aroturukitanga me te pūrongo atu i ngā wāhanga matua o te whakahaeretanga i te kōhanga reo. E tautuhi ana te tūtohinga i ngā tukanga e whakahaere ai i ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo, ā, ka whakaraupapa i te aronga nahanaha me te huarahi mō te whānau. Ka whai wāhi ki taua tūāhuatanga, ko te hītori o te kōhanga reo, ā, kua pou herea ki ngā uara me ngā mātāpono o Te Korowai. Ka whai mōhiohio, ka whai kiko hoki ngā meneti e pā ana ki ngā hui ā-whānau. He auau te pūrongo i ngā wāhanga katoa o te whakahaeretanga o te tari me te kōhanga reo. Ka whai mōhiohio ngā tukanga whakataunga i ngā hui ā-whānau.
Kua whakamōhiotia te mahere rautaki matawhānui ki Te Ara Tūāpae, e tautuhi ana i ngā kaupapa matua o te pae tawhiti me te pae tata, ā, ka ārahi hoki i ngā whāinga me ngā wawata o te whānau mō meāke nei. He aronga pūmau ki te tupu tonu me te whakapai tonu. Ka tautuhi te mahere ā-tau i ngā wāhanga matua o ngā whakahaeretanga, hei hāpai i te whakahaeretanga o ngā pūnaha o te kōhanga reo, kia whai hua ai. Ko ngā kirimana ā-takitahi, ā-ohu hoki a ngā kaimahi, he mārama, e whai kiko ana, ā, ka hāngai hoki ki ngā herenga ā-ture. Ko tā ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi, he āta whakamārama i ngā pūkenga kaimahi e hiahiatia ana. Kua oti te arowhai i te haumaru o ngā kaimahi, me ngā arotake whaiaro. E whakahaere ana te whānau i te kōhanga reo hei tino painga mō ngā mokopuna.
Ahakoa e tuhi ana, e aroturuki ana hoki ngā kaimahi i te ako me te ahu whakamua a te rōpū, kāhore anō kia whakatinanahia te aromatawai o ia mokopuna, hei kapo atu i ngā akoranga me te ahu whakamua a ia mokopuna i roto i te roanga o te wā.
Kua tae ki te wā, kia whakawhanakehia e te whānau tētahi mahere mahi e aroturuki ai i te ahu whakamua o ngā kaupapa matua i whakaraupapahia ai ki te mahere rautaki, hei hāpai i te rōnakitanga hei te pae tawhiti. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā e āta whakaarohia ana ō rātou matea mō meāke ake nei.
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

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 reports provide important information for hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o E Tipu E Rea Taraia is situated in Maraenui, Napier. The whānau are committed to promoting the philosophy outlined in Te Korowai. Since the previous ERO review of 2018, the whānau have appointed new kaimahi. Relationships among the kōhanga reo and the community are positive.
Mokopuna demonstrate whanaungatanga through their positive learning experiences.
Mokopuna are nurtured in a supportive learning environment. Constant praise and encouragement are strategies used by kaimahi and whānau to promote mokopuna confidence and meaningful interactions. Kaimahi are gentle, warm, welcoming and nurturing. Mokopuna are happy in their interactions with adults and tuākana teina relationships are evident. Kaimahi encourage older mokopuna to lead and support each other in formal activities such as karakia, waiata and mihimihi. Pūrākau, rotarota, and a variety of waiata are integrated into the learning programme to build mokopuna vocabulary. The indoor learning space is vibrant and caters to the various age groups. Access to the outdoor environment further promotes mokopuna exploration while kaimahi support mokopuna to pursue their interests and explore the wider taiao. Mokopuna are emerging as confident learners.
Values of whanaungatanga underpin planning and programme evaluation practices. Kaimahi plan collaboratively and include the ideas and contributions from whānau members. The mahere ako clearly links to Te Whāriki ā Te Kōhanga Reo and includes a range of activities to excite and capture the curiosity of mokopuna. Programme evaluation focuses on the quality of the programme, outcomes for mokopuna and improvements to be made to the learning programme. Kaimahi reflect on their practice and documented discussions focus on outcomes for mokopuna and to ensure mokopuna receive a well-planned learning programme. Mokopuna learning is a priority.
Whānau have effective processes and procedures for monitoring and reporting on key aspects of the kōhanga reo operations. The Tūtohinga defines processes to manage kōhanga reo operations and sets out a planned approach and direction for whānau. This includes the history of the kōhanga reo and is underpinned by the values and principles of Te Korowai. Whānau hui minutes are informative and detailed. There is regular reporting across all areas of administration and operations. Decision making processes at whānau hui are well informed.
The comprehensive strategic plan is informed by Te Ara Tuapae and identifies long and short-term priorities and guides whānau goals and aspirations for the future. There is a sustained focus on continual growth and improvement. The annual plan identifies key areas of operation to support effective administration of kōhanga reo systems. Kaimahi individual and collective employment contracts are clear, well detailed and align to legislation. Job descriptions provide clarity of kaimahi expected competencies. Kaimahi safety checks and self review appraisals are completed. Whānau manage the kōhanga reo in the best interests of the mokopuna.
Whilst kaimahi document and monitor group learning and progress, individual mokopuna assessment is yet to be implemented to capture mokopuna learning and progress over time.
It’s time for whānau to develop an action plan to monitor the progress of priorities set out in the strategic plan to support sustainability for the future. Mokopuna benefit when their future needs are considered.
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 and the Kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
whānau and kaimahi continue to strengthen assessment practice
develop an action plan to support the progress of the strategic plan.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o E Tipu E Rea Tāraia ki Maraenui, i Ahuriri. Ka whakanui te whānau i tō rātou tau rua tekau, whai muri i te whakakotahitanga o ngā kōhanga reo e rua, i a E Tipu e Rea rāua ko Tāraia. Ka whakariterite, ka whakapūmau hoki te whānau ki ngā tino hononga ki te hapori me tō rātou marae, a Pukemokimoki.
Ka whakatinana ngā tamariki i te whanaungatanga i ō rātou hononga ki ō rātou hoa, ā, ki ngā pakeke hoki.
Ka rongo ngā tamariki i te whakawhanaungatanga o ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu. He mātātoa te whānau ki te poipoi i te whakaute me te manaakitanga ki ngā tāngata katoa.

Ka ako ngā tamariki i ō rātou hononga ki ngā tāngata me ngā wāhi. Ka whakarato te whānau i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te whakawhānui atu i ā rātou akoranga mā te toro atu ki te marae me ngā tino pou whenua o te iwi. Ka whakatairanga te whānau i ngā akoranga me ngā mahi tūhura e pā ana ki a Kahungunu, ā, ka āta whakahonohono ki ngā whakapapa o ia tamaiti, o ia tamaiti. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki te taki i ō rātou pepeha. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki ngā whakatau manuhiri. E mōhio ana rātou ki ngā kawa me ngā tikanga e whai pānga ana ki te whakatau.

Ka whakamahi ngā kaiako i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki ako reo hei whakatairanga ake i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki. Ka tohutohu, ka ārahi, ka tautoko hoki rātou mā te reo Māori. Ka whakapuakihia ngā waiata, ngā haka, me ngā rotarota hei huarahi whakangahau e whakapiki ake ana hoki i ngā puna kupu a ngā tamariki. Ko ngā horopaki ako ōkawa – pērā i ngā whakatau, i ngā karakia, i ngā mihimihi – e hāngai ana i te noho mōhio o ngā tamariki ki ngā tauira reo e hāngai pū ana ki aua horopaki. Ka taea e ngā tamariki tuākana te whakautu kōrero mā te kupu kotahi rānei, mā ngā rerenga kōrero poto rānei i roto i te reo Māori. E tīmata ana te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori.
He mātātoa te whai wāhi atu a ngā tamariki ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo wheako tākaro, wheako ako hoki. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te tūhura i tō rātou taiao ake, tae atu hoki ki ngā tūmomo horopaki i waho atu o te kōhanga reo. He pai te tiaki i te taiao o te kōhanga reo. Ka whakarato te whānau i tētahi wāhi āhuru, wāhi whakahei hoki mō ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. He wāhi wāteatea hoki mō ngā tamariki kia āhei ai rātou ki te āta whakakorikori i ō rātou tinana. Ka whakarite ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te ako i tēnā e whai pānga nui ana ki a rātou hei uri Māori, mā ngā tūmomo haerenga e hono ana ki ngā kaupapa ako. E mōhio ana ngā tamariki ki ngā wāhi whakahirahira o te rohe. Ka whai wā ngā tamariki ki te whai i ngā mea e ngākau nui ana rātou. Ka uruuru atu ngā tamariki tuākana ki aua mahi mō ngā wā roroa. He ākonga tūmāia ngā tamariki.
Me arotake i ngā whakaritenga a ngā kaimahi ki te whakatau tika i ngā tautohetohe, i ngā rautaki hoki ki te whakahaere i te whanonga a ngā tamariki. He nui te aro atu ki ngā tamariki hei āta poipoi nā te āhua o ā rātou whanonga. E kapo kē atu ana tēnei i te aronga atu ki ngā tamariki e rite ana, e hiahia ana hoki ki te ako. He mea nui kia māramahia, kia whakatinanahia hoki e ngā kaimahi katoa te kaupapa here me ngā rautaki e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga i ngā tū āhua o ngā tamariki. Ka hāpai tēnei i a rātou ki te whakawhanake i te māramatanga ngātahi ki ngā tūmanako me te āhua o te whanonga e tika ana. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā te āta whakahaeretanga, te āta aroturukitanga hoki o ngā horopaki ako.
He pai te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. E whakatakoto ana te mahere rautaki i te aronga mō te whānau, ā, e hāpai ana te mahere ā-tau i ngā mahi ki te whakahaere i te tari me te kōhanga reo. He tino pai te whakaritenga o ngā pūnaha e whakahaere ana i te tari. Kua roa nei tētahi komiti mahi e whai wāhi atu ana, ā, kua āta whakaritea te māramatanga me te whakawhirinakitanga ki te whakatau i ngā take a te whānau. Tū ai te arotake whaiaro i ia te wā, ā, e aro nui ana ki te whakapai ake. He wawe te arotake a te whānau i ngā take ka pupū ake, i ngā wā hoki e tika ana. Kua arohaehaengia ngā kaimahi, heoi, e hāngai ana te ako ngaio me ngā whai wāhitanga whakawhanaketanga ngaio ki ngā matea o ia kaimahi, o ngā tūmomo rōpū kaimahi hoki. Kua whakarite katoatia ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga, me ngā rehita e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. Ko ngā tamariki te aronga matua.
Me hāpai i ngā kaimahi kia kaha atu ai ki te whakamahere i te hōtaka, ki te aromatawai, ki te aromātai. Ahakoa ka whakawāteahia ngā kaimahi ki te mahi i ngā kaupapa tuhituhi, ko te aronga ake ki te aromātai i te hōtaka ka hāpai anō hoki i te whakamahere, me te aromatawai i ngā mahi a ngā tamariki. Kāhore te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki e aroturukitia ana i ia te wā.
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 o E Tipu E Rea Tāraia i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o E Tipu E Rea Tāraia is situated in Maraenui, Napier. The whānau will celebrate the twentieth year of the amalgamation of the two kōhanga reo, E Tipu E Rea and Tāraia. The whānau establish and maintain strong links in the local community and with their marae, Pukemokimoki.
Children show whanaungatanga in their relationships with friends and adults.
Children experience whanaungatanga in their relationships with others. Whānau actively foster respect and care for all. Children are provided opportunities to establish and maintain relationships with each other. Kaimahi encourage children to work with one another and to share resources. Tuakana teina relationships are encouraged by kaimahi. The older children take on leadership roles. They act as role models to their tēina. Children have established meaningful relationships with parts of the community. Kaimahi ensure that they consistently attend local events. Children are positive in their interactions with others.
Children learn about their connections to people and places. Whānau provide opportunities for children to extend their learning through regular trips to the marae and important iwi landmarks. Whānau promote learning and exploration about Kahungunu and explicitly make connections to each child’s whakapapa. Kaimahi support children to recite their pepeha. Children participate in whakatau. They are aware of the protocols and tikanga when welcoming manuhiri. Children are coming to understand their role as tangata whenua. Children are developing an understanding of their identity.
Children participate in learning where the revitalisation of te reo Māori is the priority. Kaiako use a range of language learning strategies to enhance children’s language development. They provide instruction, guidance and support in te reo Māori. Waiata, haka, and rotarota are implemented as fun ways to increase children’s vocabulary. Formal learning situations such as whakatau, karakia and mihimihi enable children to become familiar with language patterns specific to these situations. The older children are able to respond with one word or short sentences in te reo Māori. Children are beginning learners of te reo Māori.
Children actively participate in a range of play and learning experiences. Kaimahi provide opportunities for children to explore their immediate environment, as well as different settings beyond the kōhanga reo. The kōhanga reo environment is well maintained. Whānau provide a warm and inviting place for children to learn. Children have access to space that allows them to be challenged physically. Kaimahi ensure children have opportunities to learn about what is important to them as Māori through haerenga that link to kaupapa ako. Children are familiar with local places of significance. Children experience opportunities to follow their own interests. The older children are engaged for long periods during this time. Children are confident learners.
Kaimahi practice related to positive conflict resolution or children behaviour management strategies require reviewing. A lot of time is given to children who require extra attention because of their behaviour. This takes attention away from children who are ready and willing to learn. It is important that all kaimahi understand and implement the policy and strategies around managing children’s conduct. This will support them to develop a shared understanding of expectations and boundaries for acceptable behaviour. Children benefit when learning situations are well managed monitored.
The kōhanga reo is managed well. The strategic plan provides direction for the whānau and the annual plan supports the administration and operational duties. Administrative systems are very well organised. A long-serving working committee has established transparency and trust in dealing with whānau issues. Self review is regular and is improvement-focused. Whānau also spontaneously review matters when and as required. Staff have been appraised, and professional learning and development opportunities align with individual and collective needs. All health and safety policy, procedures and registers are in place. Children are the priority.
Kaimahi require support for programme planning, assessment and evaluation. While kaimahi are provided release time, a more deliberate focus on programme evaluation should improve planning and children’s assessments. The children’s learning and progress are not regularly monitored.
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 work with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust to consolidate their practices to benefit children’s learning.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o E Tipu E Rea Tāraia will be in three years.
