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 Hanana ki Te Maire, ki Horowhenua. E karapotia ana te kōhanga reo e ngā pae maunga o Tararua. I ngā tau o mua, he āwangawanga i hāngai ai ki ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau, ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga me te whakatinanatanga o aua tūāhuatanga, me te ngoikore o te aroturuki i te hauora me te noho haumaru o ngā mokopuna. Tērā anō hoki ngā āwangawanga i hāngai ai ki te whakaratonga o te reo Māori, ā, kīhai hoki i te rawaka ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi ki te whakamahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai. I te tau 2016, i pūrongo Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā whakapaitanga, ā, i hoki anō te kōhanga reo ki te huringa arotake auau.
Nā ngā herenga o te Kowheori-19, tē taea e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te mahi ki ngā kōhanga reo, puta noa i Aotearoa. Nā tēnā, kāhore ngā arotakenga a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i whakaritea, ā, i hiki rānei i te arotakenga ki tētahi atu wā. Nā aua tōmuritanga, koia nei te arotakenga whānui tuatahi o Te Kōhanga Reo o Hanana, whai muri i te tau 2016.
I te wā o tēnei arotakenga, i whakatakoto anōtia te mahere aromātai kia hāngai ake ai te titiro ki ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau me te whakaratonga o te mātauranga me te atawhai e whai kounga ana mō ngā mokopuna.
Kāhore i te rawaka ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau. Kāhore ngā pūnaha, ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga me ngā whakaritenga e whakatakoto ana i ngā mōhiohio me ngā tohutohu e tika ana mā te whānau, mā ngā kaimahi rānei. Tērā ngā āwangawanga e pā ana ki ngā mahi whakamahere a te whānau, te arotake whaiaro, ngā pūtea, te hauora me te haumaru, te whai rauemi, me ngā kaimahi. He take anō hoki te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga, ngā mahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai. Kāhore i te rawaka te whakaratonga o te reo Māori, ā, he whāiti noa ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā akoranga e whakakipakipa ana i a rātou, e kapo atu ana rānei i a rātou. Kāhore i te rawaka te whai rauemi atu a ngā kaimahi, hei hāpai i ngā whakaakoranga me ngā akoranga o ia rā. Kāhore i ngā mokopuna te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo whai wāhitanga ako kounga i te kōhanga reo.
I te wā o tēnei arotakenga - pērā i ngā arotakenga katoa a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā kōhanga reo - i noho mai te kaupapa kaimahi ā-rohe. I kitea ngā taumahatanga ka pā ki te hononga mahi tahi a te heamana me te kaupapa kaimahi. Tāpiri atu ki tēnā, nā te kaiwhakahaere tari o te kōhanga reo i whakaatu ngā tuhinga katoa ki Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, me tana kī, koia tana rā mahi whakamutunga, ā, i te wehe ia.
Ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau
Kāhore i te rawaka ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau ki te kōhanga reo. Kāhore i te mārama ki te whānau ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga mahi. Ki tā ngā mema o te whānau i hui tahi ki Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kāhore rātou i mōhio he kawenga ā rātou. I tautuhia e rātou, he ruarua noa ngā mātua ka whai wāhi atu ki te kōhanga reo. Kāhore ngā hui ā-whānau e tū auau ana, ā, he iti noa ngā tuhinga e tohu ana i tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki ngā whakataunga. Nā taua tūāhuatanga, kāhore e tino kite ana i te whai wāhi tika atu a te whānau, i ngā whai wāhitanga rānei mō rātou ki te hāpai ake i te whakawhanaketanga o te kōhanga reo.
Ko ngā pūnaha mō te tautoko i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo kia angitu ai, kāhore i te tino whai kiko hei āta whakatau i te rere pai o ngā mahi i te kōhanga reo. Ahakoa i whakamahinetia ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga i te tau 2016, kāhore ngā kōrero o roto e tino matawhānui ana kia whai māramatanga ai te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki tēnā e tika ana hei mahi mā rātou, puta noa i ngā wāhanga whakahaere. He mārakerake anō te kite atu, ki te pupū ake i te rā ētahi tūāhuatanga uaua i te kōhanga reo, kāhore e tino mōhiotia ana me pēhea te ahu whakamua. Kua waitohungia ētahi kaupapa here, engari kāhore hoki ētahi atu. Me whai whakaaro te whānau, te rōpū whakahaere, me te heamana ki te whai atu i ngā kaupapa whakawhanaketanga, kaupapa whakangungu hoki mā te katoa.
Te whakamahere rautaki me te whakamahere ā-tau
Kāhore i te rawaka te whakamahere rautaki, te whakamahere ā-tau, me te arotake whaiaro. Kāhore he mahere rautaki e tautuhi ana i ngā wawata o te whānau e whai wāhi atu ana ki te kōhanga reo i tēnei wā, ā, kāhore he huarahi e āta whakatūturu ana i te āheinga o te whānau ki te whai wāhi atu ki taua tūāhuatanga. Kāhore te mahere ā-tau e whakatakoto ana i te āhua o ngā kaupapa matua me te aronga mō te tau kei te heke mai. Me matua whakarite i tētahi mahere ā-tau, hei āta whakatau i te aroturukitanga me te whakatutukitanga o ngā mahi matua i te tari, i roto i te wā e tika ana. Kāhore he tuhinga meneti e pā ana ki ngā take me ngā whakataunga, ā, he tohu pea tēnā i te iti noa, i te korenga rānei o te aromātai o roto. I te tau 2021, he maha ngā maiki i tuhia ai hei tirohanga wawe, hei whakatika wawe. He iti noa ngā mōhiohio e tohu ana i ngā mahi i whāia e te whānau ki te whakamahine ake me te whakapai ake i ā rātou pūnaha, ā rātou kaupapa here, me ā rātou tukanga.
Te whakahaere pūtea
Me whakawhanake ake i te whakahaeretanga o ngā pūtea. I tautuhia i te wā o te arotakenga, i pupū ake ētahi take i te tau 2020 nā te ngoikore o ngā mahi ki te whakahaere i ngā pūtea. He iti noa ngā pūrongo e tohu ana i ngā whakataunga mō ngā whakapaunga utu, ā, kāhore hoki i te wātea tētahi pūrongo tātari.
Te whakahaere kaimahi
Kāhore i te rawaka te whakahaeretanga i ngā kaimahi. Kāhore he tukanga arohaehae matawhānui. Hei whakatutuki i te Employment Relations Act 2000, me whakawhanake, me whakahaere hoki te whānau i ngā take kaimahi, i runga anō i tēnā i whakatakotohia ai ki taua ture. I te wā o tēnei arotakenga, i rīhaina te kaiwhakahaere o te tari. Kua tohungia e ngā kaimahi tā rātou wenewene nā te kore tautoko. Kāhore i te pakari te whakapūmau i ngā tikanga e pā ana ki ngā whakaritenga papai a te kaituku mahi me te kaimahi.
Te hauora me te haumaru
Tē taea te hauora me te haumaru te whakatūturu. Kua tuhia ngā āwangawanga e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi i mahi hē ki te taha o ngā mokopuna. Nō te tau 2021 aua take i puta ake ai. Kāhore i whakawāteahia mai, ko ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e kaupare atu ai i te putanga ake anō o aua take. Kāhore i te pakari ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te mātakitaki tamariki, te atawhai, me te aroturuki kia noho haumaru ai ngā mokopuna. Kāhore anō ngā akoako rū whenua kia whakamātauhia. Kāhore anō ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te ārai tamariki kia waitohungia, kia tohua rānei ki te rā. Nā te pakeke o ngā take - tae atu hoki ki te kore mātakitaki i tētahi mokopuna - he wāhanga tēnei hei tirohanga wawe.
Te hōtaka akoranga
E noho mōrearea ana te ako a ngā mokopuna, ā, kāhore i te rawaka ngā whai wāhitanga ki te ako. E kōkirihia ana te nuinga o te hōtaka akoranga e te pakeke. Nā taua tūāhuatanga, he maha ngā wā kāhore ngā mokopuna i te whai wāhi nui ki ngā akoranga whai pūtake ka whakatairanga i te tangongitanga o ō rātou matea, ō rātou pūmanawa, me ō rātou ngākau nuitanga. Kāhore he whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te tākaro māhorahora i ētahi wā o te rā. He iti noa te whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te ako mā ō rātou wheako ki te kōhanga reo.
He whāiti rawa te whakamahere hōtaka, te aromatawai, me te aromātai. Kāhore ngā tuhinga o tēnei wā e whai ana i te kiko e tika ana, hei āta whakarite i te whiwhinga o te mokopuna i:
te whānuitanga o ngā whai wāhitanga ki te tākaro māhorahora, me te whakamahi i ngā rauemi e whakaongaonga ana, e whakakipakipa ana
te whai wāhitanga ki te whakaatu i te āhua o tā rātou ahu whakamua i roto i ā rātou akoranga, mā ngā aromatawai auau
tētahi hōtaka akoranga e aro nui ana ki a rātou, ā, kua whakatinanahia mā ngā mahi aromātai hōtaka a ngā kaimahi.
He mea nui kia toro atu te whānau ki te tautoko ka hāpai i ngā kaimahi ki te whakapakari ake i ō rātou āheinga me ō rātou pūmanawa ki te whakapuaki i tētahi hōtaka akoranga whai hua mā ngā mokopuna.
Te reo Māori
Kāhore te reo Māori i te reo whakaako, ehara rānei i tētahi aronga ki ngā kaimahi. E mōhio ana te whānau e tika ana kia whakapakarihia te reo Māori. Ka ako ngā mokopuna i te reo Māori i te wā e rumakina ana rātou ki te taiao reo Māori.
He tino nui ngā take puta noa i ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau, i ngā mahi whakahaere i te tari me te kōhanga reo i ia rā, tae atu ki te mātauranga me te atawhai o ngā mokopuna. Kua miramiratia aua āwangawanga ki tēnei pūrongo.
Me toro atu te whānau ki te tautoko o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te whakatutuki i ngā take i tautuhia ai ki tēnei pūrongo.
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.
Hei whakatutuki i ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:

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 Hanana is in Shannon, Horowhenua. The kōhanga reo is surrounded by the Tararua ranges. Historically, there have been concerns related to whānau management, policies, procedures and their implementation, and insufficient monitoring of the health and safety of mokopuna. There have also been issues related to the provision of te reo Māori, and inadequate kaimahi planning, assessment and evaluation practice. In 2016, ERO reported improvements and the kōhanga returned to a regular cycle of review.
As a result of Covid-19 restrictions, ERO was unable to work in kōhanga reo across New Zealand. Subsequently, ERO reviews were either not scheduled as planned or needed to be postponed. Due to these delays, this is the first full review of Te Kōhanga reo o Hanana since 2016.
During this review, the evaluation plan was reframed to focus on whānau management and the provision of quality education and care for mokopuna.
Whānau management is inadequate. Systems, policies, procedures and practices lack necessary information or guidance for whānau or kaimahi. There are concerns related to whānau planning, self-review, finance, health and safety, resourcing and personnel. The quality of the learning programme, planning, assessment and evaluation is also of concern. The provision of te reo Māori is insufficient and there is limited opportunity for mokopuna to participate in learning that motivates or engages them. Kaimahi do not have adequate access to resources to support day to day teaching and learning. Mokopuna lack a range of quality learning opportunities while they are at kōhanga.
During this review, as with all ERO reviews of kōhanga, the district kaupapa kaimahi (DKK) was present. Relational issues between the chairperson and this representative were evident. In addition, the kōhanga administrator guided ERO to all documents, stating that it was her last day at work, as she was leaving.
Whānau management
Whānau management of kōhanga reo operations is inadequate. Whānau are not clear about their roles and responsibilities. Those whānau members who met with ERO, identified that they were unaware of any requirements of them. They identified that only small number of parents participate or contribute in any way at the kōhanga. Whānau hui are not held regularly and there are limited records kept indicating that they are a part of shared decision making. As a result, it is not clear that there is sufficient input from whānau, or that they are provided with opportunities to contribute to the development of the kōhanga reo.
Systems to support the successful operation of the kōhanga reo lack sufficient depth to ensure that the kōhanga runs effectively. Although policies and procedures were refined in 2016, the content is not detailed enough for whānau or kaimahi to understand what is required of them across all areas of operation. It is also clear that if difficult circumstances arise during a day at kōhanga, there is limited direction about how to proceed. Some polices have been signed while others have not. The whānau, the roopū whakahaere and the chairperson should consider, development and training for all.
Strategic and annual planning
Strategic planning, annual planning and self-review are inadequate. There is no strategic plan that defines the aspirations of the current whānau and there is no way to be assured that whānau have opportunity to contribute to this. The annual plan does not reflect what the priorities and focus will be for the coming year. It is essential to establish an annual plan to ensure key administration tasks are monitored and completed in a timely manner. The lack of minutes about matters and decision making indicate that there is limited if any internal evaluation. During 2021 there were several recorded incidents that needed immediate attention and resolution. There is limited follow-up information about next steps taken by whānau to refine and improve their systems, policies or procedures.
Financial management
Financial management requires further development. During this review it was identified that during 2020, there had been issues about inadequate financial management. There are limited reports regarding decisions about expenditure, nor was an audit report available.
Personnel management
Personnel management is inadequate. Comprehensive processes for appraisals are not in place. In order to observe the Employment Relations Act 2000, whānau must develop and manage personnel matters in accordance with the Act. During the course of this review, the administrator resigned. Kaimahi have indicated dissatisfaction with the lack of support. There is a lack of rigour upholding requirements pertaining to good employer and personnel practices.
Health and safety
Health and safety cannot be assured. There have been documented concerns about kaimahi, who have behaved inappropriately with mokopuna. These matters occurred during 2021. Policies and procedures to prevent these issues from reoccurring were not made available. There is insufficient rigour around supervision, care, and monitoring to ensure mokopuna are safe. Earthquake drills have not been practised. Child protection policies and procedures are not signed or dated. Given the severity of the issues including, a mokopuna unsupervised, this area requires immediate attention.
The learning programme
Mokopuna learning is at risk and opportunities for learning are inadequate. The learning programme is mostly adult directed. As a result, there were many instances of mokopuna not engaging in meaningful learning that promoted their diverse needs, strengths and interests. There was no opportunity for mokopuna to play freely for periods of time during the day. Mokopuna have limited opportunity to learn through their experiences at kōhanga.
Programme planning, assessment and evaluation are limited. Current documentation lacks the content needed to ensure that mokopuna have:
a range of opportunities to engage in free play, and use resources that are stimulating and motivating
an opportunity to show how they are progressing with their learning through regular assessments
a responsive learning programme, informed by kaimahi programme evaluation.
It is critical that whānau seek support for kaimahi to build their capability and capacity to deliver an effective learning programme for the mokopuna.
Te Reo Māori
Te reo Māori is not the language of instruction, nor is it a focus for kaimahi. Whānau acknowledge that te reo Māori requires strengthening. Mokopuna learn te reo Māori when their environment is totally immersed in the Māori language.
There are significant issues across whānau management, daily administration and operation, through to the education and care of mokopuna. These concerns are highlighted in this report.
The whānau should seek external support from the National Te Kōhanga Reo Trust to address the concerns identified within this report.
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:
ensure whānau are provided with opportunities to contribute in relation to development and review into the management of the kōhanga reo
[Regulation 47 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; GMA4 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ensure there is an ongoing process of self-review or internal evaluation to help the kōhanga maintain and improve the quality of its education and care

Ka whakahaeretia tētahi arotake tāpiri i runga o te whakataunga a te Kaitiriwā Toihau Arotake i Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga.
E aromātai ana te arotake tāpiri i te whānuitanga me te whai hua o ngā mahi a te kōhanga reo ki te whakatutuki i ngā take i whakatakotohia ai i roto i te arotake mātauranga o mua atu i tēnei, me ētahi atu wāhanga rānei kua tāutuhia whai muri o taua arotake.
Ko tēnei arotake tāpiri i whakaritea i runga o 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 arotake. Ko ngā whakataunga mō ngā whakapuakitanga e pā ana ki tēnei arotake, ko te titiro ki:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Hanana ki te tāone o Hanana, ki Horowhenua. Nō te tau 2015 Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i tāutu ai i ētahi take i hāngai ai ki te whakahaeretanga o Te Kōhanga Reo o Hanana. I hāngai aua take ki te reo Māori o ngā tamariki, te aromatawai, me te aromātai. Kāhore i te rawaka ngā tukanga i hāngai ai ki te aroturukitanga o ngā take hauora me ngā take haumaru. Kīhai te kōhanga reo i te whakahaerehia kia whai hua ai. Ka aromātai tēnei arotake i te ahu whakamua me ngā whakapaitanga i whakatutukihia ai whai muri i te tau 2015.
E ai ki te pūrongo o mua, kāhore ngā tamariki i te pakari ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori. I te nuinga o te wā i te whakamahia te reo Māori hei reo tohutohu noa, ā, kāhore i te whakatairangatia hei tino reo whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro. I te whāiti noa ngā mōhiotanga o ngā kaimahi, tā rātou whakamahinga anō hoki o ngā rautaki ako reo papai. Kāhore ngā tamariki i te whai wāhi atu ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ka hāpai i te ako reo. Kīhai te hōtaka akoranga i te āta whakamaheretia hei whakaongaonga, hei āta hāpai rānei i ngā tamariki kia puāwai ai tā rātou ako i te reo Māori.
Ka whiwhi ngā tamariki i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo whaiwāhitanga ka hāpai i tō rātou whakawhanaketanga, tā rātou whakamahinga anō hoki i te reo Māori me ngā tikanga Māori. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā taumahi toi, ngā kēmu, te parāoa pokepoke, ngā waiata, me ngā taumahi o waho kia kōkiri ai ngā tamariki i ngā akoranga e whai pānga nui ana ki a rātou. I ēnei wā, ka kōrero ngā kaimahi i te reo Māori hei hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki mā ngā horopaki e whai pūtake ana. Haere ai ngā whānau me ngā kaimahi ki ngā akoranga o Te Ataarangi, hei whakawhanake i tō rātou āheinga mā te reo Māori. He pai te puāwai haere o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
I tāutuhia te pūrongo o Pipiri 2015, kāhore ngā matea whānui o ngā tamariki e āta whakamaheretia ana, e āta arotakengia ana rānei, ā, e āta whakatutukihia ana rānei. Kāhore te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki e tino tuhia ana. He iti noa te māramatanga o ngā kaimahi ki te pūtake me te hua o te aromatawai i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Kīhai i rite tonu te hui a ngā kaimahi ki te whakaaro huritao mō te hōtaka akoranga. I te pā tōraro aua āhuatanga ki te ako a ngā tamariki.
Ka whiwhi ngā tamariki i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo hōtaka akoranga i āta whakamaheretia ai. Kua whakatūngia tētahi kaiako hou hei ārahi, hei whakatairanga hoki i te whakawhanaketanga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whai hua ngā mahere i āta whakawhanakehia ai, ā, ka ārahi i ngā whakaritenga a ngā kaimahi. Kei te mārama ngā kaimahi i nāianei ki te whai huatanga o ngā pūkete a ngā tamariki. Ko te āta mātakitaki i ngā tamariki tētahi āhuatanga nui o ngā whakaritenga a ngā kaimahi i ia rā. I nāianei, he rite tonu tā rātou aromatawai i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. He mataara ngā kaimahi ki te whakawhanaketanga o ngā tamariki, ā, ka ahu whakamua nā runga i tēnei tū āhuatanga. He pai te whakamōhio i te whānau mō te ahu whakamua a ā rātou tamariki.
I nāianei, kua whakaritea e ngā kaiako me ngā kaimahi ngā tukanga ka aromātai i te whai huatanga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka haere tonu ngā mahi aroturuki i ngā wā katoa, ā, ka whai wāhi, ka whai pānga anō hoki tēnei ki te kounga o ngā akoranga. Whakaaro huritao ai ngā kaimahi i ia rā, i te hōtaka, ā, ka whakarerekē haere rātou i ngā akoranga hei ārahi i ā rātou whakaritenga. Ka whakarerekē, ka tīni rānei rātou i te hōtaka hei hāpai ake i ngā akoranga. He pārekareka ki ngā ākonga ngā akoranga, i rite tonu ai te arotūrukitanga o te kounga o te hōtaka ako.
I tāutu te pūrongo o mua kāhore i te auau te arotake whaiaro a te whānau me ngā kaimahi o te kōhanga reo hei whakamōhio i ngā whakataunga papai mā ngā tamariki. Kāhore i te riterite ngā meneti o ngā hui ā-whānau, ā, kāhore i te rawaka ngā tukanga ki te whakahaere i ngā pūtea, ngā kaimahi, me te hauora me te haumaru. Kīhai te kōhanga reo i te āta whakahaerehia. Kāhore he mahere rautaki, he mahere ā-tau rānei. Ahakoa he wawata ngātahi tō te whānau mō ā rātou tamariki, kīhai anō te whānau kia tāutu i ā rātou whāinga me ā rātou kaupapa matua.
Kua pai ake te whakahaeretanga whānui o te kōhanga reo. I nāianei, he māramatanga ngātahi tō te whānau me ngā kaimahi mō ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga. Kua whakawhanakehia te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi. E hāngai ana ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi ā ngā kaimahi ki te wā, ā, kua waitohungia, kua puritia hoki. E whai hua ana te pūnaha arohaehae ā te whānau. Ka whakarato rātou i te whaiwāhitanga mā ngā kaimahi ki te uru atu ki ngā whakawhanaketanga ngaio me ngā whakangungu. He mārama te whakahaere i te pūtea, he kawenga takohanga hoki o roto. He painga mō ngā tamariki te whai huatanga ake o ngā mahi whakahaere ki tō rātou kōhanga reo.
Kua oti i te whānau tētahi mahere rautaki e whakatinanahia ana e Te Ara Tūāpae me Te Korowai. E mōhio ana rātou ki ā rātou kaupapa matua mō nāianei, mō meāke hoki. He rawaka ngā mōhiohio ki ngā meneti a ngā hui ā-whānau hei hāpai i te noho mōhio o te whānau ki te āta whakatau i ngā whakaritenga mō ngā whakahaeretanga o ia rā ki te kōhanga reo. He pai te whanake haere o te aromātai o roto, ā, he painga tēnei mō ngā tamariki me ō rātou whānau.
Kāhore i te whānau tētahi mahere ā-tau. Ahakoa ka whakatutukihia, ka whakaotihia hoki ētahi o ngā kaupapa matua, kāhore e taea e rātou te aroturuki te whānuitanga o te āhua mahi me ngā putanga i runga anō i ā rātou kaupapa rautaki. He mea nui kia whakaritea e te whānau tētahi mahere, ētahi wātaka hoki hei āta whakarite i te whakatutukitanga o ā rātou whāinga pae tawhiti me ō rātou wawata.
I tāutuhia e te pūrongo o mua ngā wāhanga maha kāhore e tutuki ana i ngā herenga ā-ture hei tirohanga mā te whānau. I hāngai ēnei ki te wāhi, ki ngā tukanga haumaru mō ngā haerenga, me te arotake whaiaro. Ko aua wāhanga herenga ā-ture kāhore i te tutuki, ko te:
4.1 whakarite i ngā wāhi katoa o ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo, kia arowhaingia mō ngā āhuatanga mōrearea i ia te wā, ā, kia whakahaerehia aua wāhi kia haumaru ai ngā tinana o ngā tamariki

4.4 whakamahi i Te Whāriki o Te Kōhanga Reo, hei āta whakamahere, whakatinana, aromātai anō hoki i ngā hōtaka akoranga e aro atu ana ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo matea ako me ngā ngākaunuitanga o ngā tamariki

I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:

I aromātai Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te whānuitanga me te whai huatanga o ngā mahi i whakatutukihia ai e te whānau hei whakatika ake i ngā take i tāutuhia ai ki te pūrongo o mua. E whakapono ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kāhore aua wāhanga e āwangawanga ana i nāianei. He pai te atawhai i ngā tamariki, ā, he ākonga harikoa rātou.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Hanana i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

A supplementary review is undertaken at the discretion of the Deputy Chief Review Officer Māori in the Education Review Office (ERO).
A supplementary review evaluates the extent and effectiveness of actions a kōhanga reo has taken towards addressing issues specified in its previous ERO review and/or any additional areas identified since that review.
This supplementary review 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 review. The terms of reference for this review are to investigate:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Hanana is in Shannon, Horowhenua. In 2015 ERO identified concerns about the management of Te Kōhanga Reo o Hanana. These included children’s te reo Māori, assessment and evaluation. Processes for monitoring issues of health and safety were insufficient. The kōhanga reo was not effectively managed. This review evaluates progress and improvements made since 2015.
The previous report stated that children do not use te reo Māori confidently. Te reo Māori was mainly used to instruct, rather than to promote meaningful communication. Kaimahi knowledge and use of effective language learning strategies was limited. Children were not engaged in language learning conversations. The learning programme was not well planned to stimulate or support children well as early learners of te reo Māori.
Children experience a range of opportunities to support their development and use of te reo me ngā tikanga Māori. Kaimahi provide art activities, games, play dough, waiata and outdoor activities in order for children to initiate learning that is important to them. During these times, kaimahi speak te reo Māori to support children’s language development within meaningful contexts. Whānau and kaimahi attend Te Ataarangi classes to develop their capability in te reo Māori. Children are developing well as beginning speakers of te reo Māori.
The June 2015 report identified that children’s overall needs were not well planned for, reviewed or addressed. Children’s progress was not effectively recorded. Kaimahi had a limited understanding of the purpose and value of assessing children’s learning. Kaimahi did not meet regularly to reflect on the learning programme. Children were disadvantaged in their learning.
Children experience a variety of well-planned learning programmes. A new kaiako has been appointed to lead and enhance the development of the learning programme. Plans are effective, well developed and guide kaimahi practice. Kaimahi now understand the value of children’s profile books. Close observations of children are an important part of kaimahi daily practice. They now regularly assess children’s learning. Kaimahi are alert to children’s development and progress because of this. Whānau are well informed of their children’s progress.
Kaiako and kaimahi now have in place processes to evaluate the effectiveness of the learning programme. There is ongoing monitoring that contribute to and impact on the quality of the learning. Kaimahi reflect daily on the programme and modify learning to guide their practices. They adjust or make changes to the programme to better support learning. Children enjoy learning where the quality of the programme is regularly monitored.
The previous report highlighted that kōhanga whānau and staff did not have regular self-review to inform good decisions for children. Whānau hui minutes were inconsistent and procedures for managing finances and personnel and health and safety were insufficient. The kōhanga reo was not effectively managed. There was no strategic or annual plan. While there was a shared aspiration for their children whānau had not identified their goals or priorities.
Overall management of the kōhanga reo has improved. Whānau and kaimahi now have a shared understanding of their roles and responsibilities. Personnel management has developed. Kaimahi employee documentation is current, signed and filed. Whānau have a useful appraisal system. They provide opportunities for kaimahi to engage in professional development and training. Financial management is transparent and accountable. Children benefit from more effective management of their kōhanga reo.
Whānau have completed a strategic plan that is informed by Te Ara Tūāpae and Te Korowai. They know their priorities now and into the future. Whānau hui minutes have sufficient information to assist whānau to make informed decisions on the day to day operations of the kōhanga reo. Internal evaluation is developing well and benefits children and their whānau.
Whānau do not have an annual plan. Whilst some priorities are achieved and completed they are unable to monitor the overall performance and outcomes against their strategic priorities. It is important for whānau to establish a plan and timelines to ensure their long terms goals and aspirations are achieved.
The last report highlighted several areas of non-compliance that the whānau needed to address. These included the physical environment, safety procedures for excursions, and processes for self-review. Areas of non-compliance included
4.1 ensure that the kōhanga reo physical environment are regularly checked for hazards, and managed for children’s physical safety
[R45 and R46 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; HS12 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
4.2 ensure that children’s physical health and wellbeing are reviewed for the safety of children
[R46 Education (Early Childhood Services)Regulations 2008; HS28-29 Appendix 3 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
4.3 ensure children’s physical safety on excursions and outings are monitored
[R45 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; PF 29-38 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
4.4 use Te Kōhanga Reo Te Whāriki to effectively plan, implement, and evaluate learning that responds to the diverse learning needs and interests of children
[R43 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; C1-13 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
4.5 ensure there is an ongoing process of self-review in place to help the kōhanga reo maintain and improve the quality of its education and care
[R 47 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; GMA 6 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
4.6 ensure that all whānau members are provided opportunities to contribute to the development and review of the kōhanga reo.
[R 47 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; GMA 4 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
All areas of non-compliance identified in the June 2015 report have been addressed.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
Whānau formalise an annual plan to monitor the overall performance and outcomes against their strategic priorities.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Hanana is in Shannon. ERO evaluated the extent and effectiveness of actions the whānau has taken towards addressing issues specified in its previous report. ERO is confident that these areas are no longer a concern. Children are well cared for and are happy learners.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Hanana will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Hanana ki te tāone o Hanana. E karapotia ana te kōhanga reo e ngā pae maunga o Tararua, te marae o Poutu, me ngā uri o Ngāti Whakatere o Ngāti Raukawa. Mai i tōna tīmatanga, kua whai wāhi te whānau ki te whakawhanaketanga o te taiao ako o te kōhanga reo, ā, kei reira te maha o ngā tūmomo whai wāhitanga ako o roto, o waho hoki mō ngā tamariki.
Ko te kōhanga reo te ratonga rumaki reo Māori anake o tēnei takiwā. He wawata tō te whānau kia ako ngā tamariki i a rātou e rumakina ana rātou ki te reo Māori me ngā tikanga, ki tētahi taiao ako o te ao Māori e poipoi ana, e whakapakari ana hoki i te tūmāia me te tuakiri hoki o ngā tamariki. E tika ana, kia toro wawe atu te whānau ki te tautoko me te ārahitanga o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te whakatutuki i ngā herenga ā-ture me ngā wāhanga hoki hei whakapai ake.
He pēhea rawa te whakamahi a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori ki te āta whakapuaki i tō rātou tuakiri?
Kāhore ngā tamariki e whakamahi ana i te reo ki te āta whakapuaki i tō rātou tuakiri.
Ka wheako ngā tamariki i te pai o ngā hononga e atawhai ana. Ka whakanui ngā kaimahi i ngā wāriu o te manaaki me te tiaki ki ngā tamariki. Ka kitea te manaaki me te aroha o ngā tuākana mō ō rātou tēina. Kua waia rātou ki ngā mahinga o ia rā, ā, ka whakatakotohia aua wā i te aronga mā ngā tamariki. He harikoa, he tau hoki ngā tamariki ki tō rātou kōhanga reo.
He maha ngā whai wāhitanga mā ngā tamariki ki te ako i ngā kōrero e pā ana ki a rātou anō, ki tō rātou tūrangawaewae hoki. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki hei whakatakoto i ngā mahinga. Kua waia ngā tamariki ki ngā tukanga o te whakatau, te karakia, me te mihimihi. Haere ai rātou ki te marae, ā, ka whai wāhi, ka ako hoki rātou i tō rātou ahurea. Kei te mōhio haere ngā tamariki ki ā rātou taonga tuku iho.
Kāhore ngā tamariki e whakamahi ana i te reo Māori ki te āta whakapuaki i tō rātou tuakiri. Ko te reo tohutohu kē te reo e whakamahia ana, ehara i te whakatairanga i te reo whakawhitiwhiti kia whai take ai. He whāiti te mōhiotanga me te whakamahinga a ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki ako reo e whai hua ana. Kāhore ngā kaimahi e whai wāhi atu ana ki te whakawhiti kōrero ki ngā tamariki. Kāhore te hōtaka akoranga kia āta whakamaheretia hei whakaongaonga, hei āta hāpai i ngā tamariki i a rātou e tīmata ana ki te ako i te reo Māori.
Kāhore te ahunga whakamua a ngā tamariki e āta whakatakotohia ana. He iti noa te māramatanga o ngā kaimahi ki te pūtake me te whai hua o te aromatawai i te ako a ngā tamariki. E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia toro atu te whānau ki te tautoko me te ārahitanga o tō rātou purapura me Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te whakawhanake me te whakatinana i ngā whakaritenga aromatawai e tika ana.
Kāhore te whānuitanga o ngā matea o ngā tamariki e āta whakaarohia ana i roto i ngā mahere, e arotakengia ana rānei, ā, e whakatutukihia ana rānei. Kāhore i te whānau me ngā kaimahi o te kōhanga reo te arotake whaiaro auau hei whakamōhio i ngā whakataunga papai mō ngā tamariki. Kāhore i te riterite ngā meneti, ā, kāhore i te rawaka ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te whakahaere pūtea, ngā kaimahi, te hauora, me te haumaru. Kāhore ngā kaimahi e hui ana i ia te wā ki te whakaaro huritao mō te hōtaka akoranga. He ōpaki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero, ā, kāhore e arotahi ana ki ngā whakaritenga ka whai ake. I roto i ā rātou akoranga ko ngā tamariki kē te hunga whakatiki
Kāhore te kōhanga reo e āta whakahaerehia ana. Kāhore anō te whānau kia whakawhanake i tētahi mahere rautaki, i tētahi mahere ā-tau rānei. Ahakoa he wawata ngātahi tō rātou mō ā rātou tamariki, kāhore anō rātou kia tāutu i ā rātou whāinga, i ngā kaupapa matua rānei. Kāhore he mahere nahanaha hei hāpai i te whakatutukitanga o tā rātou tirohanga.
I te wā o te arotake, i whakamātauhia e te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha o te ratonga ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei e whai pānga nui ana ki te waiora o ngā tamariki, ā, i tāutuhia ngā wāhanga kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture. Kua tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā herenga ā-ture kei raro iho nei kāhore e whakatutukihia ana. Me tahuri te whānau, mā te tautoko hoki o tō rātou kaipupuri raihana ki te:
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Hanana ki te tāone o Hanana. Kāhore ngā tamariki e whakamahi ana i te reo Māori ki te āta whakapuaki ana i tō rātou tuakiri. Me whiwhi te whānau o te kōhanga reo i te tino tautoko pūmau ki te whakapai i te nuinga o ngā wāhanga o te kōhanga reo. E whakaae ana te whānau, he uaua rawa ki a rātou te whakatō i ngā mātāpono maha o Te Korowai, me te āta whakatinana i Te Whāriki mā ngā tamariki.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kōhanga Reo o Hanana i roto i te kotahi tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Hanana is based in Shannon.The kōhanga reo is surrounded by the Tararua ranges, Poutu Marae and the people of Ngāti Whakatere of Ngāti Raukawa. Since its establishment, whānau have contributed to the development of a kōhanga reo learning environment that provides children with a range of indoor and outdoor learning opportunities.
The kōhanga reo is the only total Māori immersion early childhood provider in the local area. Whānau members have a shared aspiration for children to be immersed in te reo Māori me ngā tikanga and a te ao Māori learning environment which is nurturing and builds children’s confidence and sense of identity.
How well do children use te reo Māori to express who they are?
Children do not use te reo Māori with confidence to express who they are.
Children experience positive and warm relationships. Kaimahi promote the values of manaaki and tiaki with children. Tuakana show care and concern for their teina. They are familiar with and use tikanga to establish daily routines. Children are happy and comfortable in their kōhanga reo.
Children have a number of opportunities to learn about who they are and where they come from. Children are familiar with the process of whakatau, karakia and mihimihi. They go to the local marae where they participate and learn about their culture. Children are becoming familiar with their cultural heritage.
Children do not use te reo Māori confidently to express who they are. Te reo Māori is mainly used to instruct, rather than to promote meaningful communication. Kaimahi knowledge and use of effective language learning strategies is limited. Children are not engaged in language learning conversations. The learning programme is not well planned to stimulate or support children well as early learners of te reo Māori.
Children’s progress is not effectively recorded. Kaimahi have a limited understanding of the purpose and value of assessing children’s learning. ERO recommend the whānau seek support and guidance through their local purapura and TKRNT to develop and implement appropriate assessment practices.
Children’s overall needs are not well planned for, reviewed or addressed. The kōhanga whānau and staff do not have regular self-review to inform good decisions for children. Minutes are inconsistent and procedures for managing finances, personnel and health and safety are insufficient. Kaimahi do not meet regularly to reflect on the learning programme. Discussions are informal and do not focus on next steps. Children are disadvantaged in their learning.
The kōhanga reo is not effectively managed. Whānau have not developed a strategic or annual plan. While they have a shared aspiration for their children they have not identified their goals or priorities. There is no systematic plan to support the realisation of their vision.
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 and identified areas of non-compliance that have not been met. ERO has identified the following areas of non compliance. The whānau, with the support of their licensee must:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Hanana is in Shannon. Children do not use te reo Māori confidently to express who they are. The kōhanga reo whānau require sustained support to improve most areas of the kōhanga reo. Whānau agree that they are struggling to embed a number of principles of Te Korowai, and successfully implement Te Whāriki for children.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Hanana will be within one year.
