Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
“Ko Arekahānara tōku hāona kaha, ko Kemureti tōku oko horoi,
ko Ngāruawāhia tōku tūrangawaewae”
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti ki te taha o te marae o Ngaa Hau e Whaa ki Kemureti, ki te rohe o Waikato. He tokomaha ngā whakatupuranga o te whānau kotahi kua whai wāhi mai ki tēnei kōhanga reo. E tautoko tonu ana ngā kuia me ngā koroua o tēnei hapori i te kōhanga reo, i ia rā.
Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna te kaha o tō rātou tuakiri me tō rātou aronga toi whenuatanga.
Ka whai tikanga, ka whai pūtake hoki ngā hononga ā-tangata o ngā mokopuna i roto i ā rātou akoranga. Ka kitea te manaakitanga me te aroha, puta noa i ngā taunekeneke katoa. E ākina ana te whakawhanaungatanga ki waenga i te tuakana me te teina, hei poipoi i te ngākau titikaha o ngā mokopuna ki te whai wāhi atu ki te hōtaka. Ko te whai wāhi mai o ngā kuia me ngā koroua tētahi āhuatanga motuhake o te kōhanga reo. Ka whakatauira rātou i ngā hononga whai tikanga e pupuri ana i ngā uara o te tautoko me te āwhina. Ka kitea te kaha o te aroha me te whakaute o ngā mokopuna mō ō rātou kaumātua. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki reo hei hāpai i te whai māramatanga, i te whakamahinga hoki o ngā mokopuna i te reo Māori. Ko ētahi o aua rautaki, ko te whāngai kupu, te tāruarua, te patapatai, te tohutohu, te karakia, te mihimihi, me te waiata. Kei te māia haere te tū o ngā mokopuna tuākana ki te taki i ō rātou pepeha, ā, ka ako rātou i ō rātou hononga ki tō rātou tūrangawaewae. Ka menemene, ka katakata hoki ngā pēpi, hei tohu i tō rātou māramatanga. I ngā wā katoa ka whakamihia, ka whakanuia hoki ngā mokopuna mō ā rātou whakatutukitanga. Ka āta whakatau ngā kaimahi i te āheinga o ngā mokopuna ki te toro atu ki ngā wāhi katoa, tae atu ki te wāhi o waho. Ka whakatairanga aua wāhi ako i te taha tākaro, i te taha auaha, me te tūhura haere. E whanake ana te māramatanga o ngā mokopuna ki a rātou anō, ki ō rātou hononga toi whenuatanga hoki.
E whai pūtake ana ngā mahere me ngā aromatawai, ā, kua āta whakaritea hoki. Ka whakamahere ngātahi ngā kaimahi. Ka whakaatuhia ngā mahere ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, ā-wiki hoki. Ka whakatakoto aua tuhinga i ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki ngā kaupapa ako, ki ngā rauemi, ā, ka tautuhi hoki i ngā putanga ako a ngā mokopuna. Ka kapo atu ngā pūkete a ngā mokopuna i ngā huarahi ako o ia mokopuna, ā, ka hāngai anō hoki ki tēnā e ākona ana e ngā mokopuna. E whakatakotohia ana ki Mātai i te Tamaiti, ko te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna i roto i te roanga o te wā. I ia te wā, ka whakamōhiotia ngā whānau ki te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna, ā, he whai wāhitanga anō hoki mō rātou ki te whakaputa kōrero urupare. E tino hāpaitia ana te ako a ngā mokopuna.
Kei te rawaka te whakahaere a te whānau i te kōhanga reo. Kei te tūtohinga te hītori o te kōhanga reo, ngā mātāpono o Te Korowai, ā, ka āta ārahi, ka āta tohutohu i te whakahaeretanga a te whānau i te kōhanga reo. Ka whakamahi te whānau i te tangongitanga o ngā tukanga mō te aroturukitanga me te pūrongo atu o ngā whakahaeretanga. Ka whai mōhiohio ngā meneti matawhānui o ngā hui. E hāngai ana ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga ki te wā, hei āta whakatau i te noho mātua rā o te hauora, te haumaru, me te waiora o ngā mokopuna. Whakatutukihia ai i ia te wā, ko ngā whakaritenga hōneatanga ohotata e pā ana ki te ahi me te rū whenua. E whakatakoto ana te mahere ā-tau i ngā mahi whakahaere whānui, ā, i ngā wā hoki e tika ana kia whakatutukihia aua tūāhuatanga. Ka kitea te rōnakitanga me te aronga whakamua o te kōhanga reo ki te mahere rautaki a te whānau. E hāpai ana ngā kaupapa matua o te pae tata me te pae tawhiti i te tirohanga me ngā wawata o te whānau mō ngā mokopuna. Kei te āta whakaraupapa ngā pūnaha whakahaere kaimahi i ngā tūranga, ngā kawenga mahi, me ngā āheinga. Kua whakatakotohia ngā tukanga e hāpai ai i te tupu tonu me te whakawhanaketanga tonu o ngā kaimahi. Ka arotahi ngā arohaehae āhua mahi ki te whakatairanga ake i ngā mōhiotanga me te whakapakaritanga ake o ngā whakaritenga kaimahi. Ka whakamāramahia ngā kirimana mahi me ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi i ngā kawenga e kawatau ana. E whakahaere ana te whānau i te kōhanga reo hei tino painga mō ngā mokopuna.
Kua tae ki te wā kia arotakengia e ngā kaimahi te aromātai hōtaka. Ka tū ngā hui a ngā kaimahi i ia te wā, engari kāhore ngā whakawhitinga kōrero e tuhia ana. E tika ana kia tuhia e ngā kaimahi ngā tūāhuatanga o te hōtaka i whai hua ai, i tēnā hoki kīhai i whai hua, ā, i ngā tūāhuatanga anō hoki hei whakapai ake. Ka hāpai taua mahi i te whakatairanga ake a ngā kaimahi i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna mā te aro atu o ngā akoranga ki ō rātou matea.
Ahakoa e pūrongohia ana ngā pūtea i ngā hui o ia marama, kāhore anō kia oti te pūrongo tātari pūtea mō te tau e mutu ai i te tau 2022. E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia toro atu te whānau ki te tautoko me te ārahitanga e āta whakatau ai i te aroturukitanga o ā rātou pūtea, me te whakatakotoranga o ngā tuhinga e tika ana mō ngā mahi tātari. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā e whakaarohia ana ō rātou matea mō meāke 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’s reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.
“Ko Arekahānara tōku hāona kaha, ko Kemureti tōku oko horoi,
ko Ngāruawahia tōku tūrangawaewae”
Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti is situated next to Te Marae o Ngaa Hau E Whaa in Cambridge, in the Waikato region. Many generations of the same whānau have attended the kōhanga reo. Local kuia and koroua continue to support the kōhanga reo on a daily basis.
Mokopuna demonstrate a strong sense of identity and belonging.
Mokopuna experience learning where relationships are meaningful and purposeful. Manaakitanga and aroha are evident in all interactions. Tuākana, teina relations are encouraged to nurture mokopuna confidence to contribute to the programme. The presence of kuia and koroua is a distinctive feature of the kōhanga reo. They model meaningful interactions that reflect values of tautoko and awhina. Mokopuna show as great deal of love and respect for their old people. Kaimahi use a range of language strategies to support mokopuna to strengthen their understanding and use of te reo Māori. These include prompts, repetition, questions, instructions, karakia, mihimihi and waiata. Older mokopuna stand with growing confidence to recite their pepehā and where they learn about their connections to their tūrangawaewae. Pēpi smile and laugh as an expression their understanding. Mokopuna are consistently praised and acknowledged for their achievements. Kaimahi ensure mokopuna have access to all spaces and the outside area. These learning areas promote play, creativity, and exploration. Mokopuna are developing their understanding of who they are and how they belong.
Planning and assessment is purposeful and organised. Kaimahi plan collaboratively. The year, term and weekly plans are displayed. These provide information about kaupapa ako, resourcing and identifying learning outcomes for mokopuna. Mokopuna profiles capture individual journeys and reflects what mokopuna are learning. Matai i te tamaiti features mokopuna learning and progress over time. Whānau are regularly informed of mokopuna progress and have opportunities to comment. Mokopuna are well supported in their learning.
Whanau manage the kōhanga reo business adequately. The Tūtohinga includes the history of the kōhanga reo, the principles of Te Korowai and provides clear guidance and direction for whānau to manage the kōhanga reo. Whānau utilise a range of processes for monitoring and reporting on operations. Hui minutes are informative and detailed. Policies and procedures are current to ensure mokopuna health, safety and wellbeing is prioritised. Fire and earthquake emergency evacuation practices are regularly conducted. An annual plan sets out overall operational tasks and when these are to be completed. The whānau strategic plan reflects sustainability and future direction for the kōhanga reo. The long and short-term priorities support the vision and aspirations whānau hold for mokopuna. Personnel management systems clearly outline kaimahi roles, responsibilities and entitlements. There are processes in place to support kaimahi growth and development. Performance appraisals focus on enhancing knowledge and building kaimahi practice. Employment contracts and job descriptions provide clarity of expected responsibilities. Whānau manage the kōhanga reo in the best interest of the mokopuna.
It is time for kaimahi to review programme evaluation. Kaimahi hold regular hui however these discussions are not documented. It is essential for kaimahi to document what was successful in the planned programme, what did not work and what needs to be improved. This will support kaimahi to enhance the quality of the learning programme. Mokopuna benefit with learning that is responsive to their needs.
Whilst financial reporting is shared regularly during monthly hui, the financial audit report year ending 2022 remains incomplete. ERO recommends that whānau seek support and guidance to ensure their finances are monitored and records prepared appropriately for auditing purposes. 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.
Actions for Compliance
To meet compliance requirements they must:
ensure there is an annual budget to guide financial expenditure.
[Regulation 47 Education (Early Childhood Services] Regulations 2008; GMA9 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation that whānau continue to work alongside the district tari for support with developing an annual budget.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti ki te tāone o Kemureti. He tokomaha ngā whakatupuranga o te whānau i nohoia ai ki tēnei kōhanga reo. Ko te kaiako tētahi o ngā mema i tīmata ai i te orokohanga o te kōhanga reo. Ko tō te whānau wawata, kia eke angitu ā rātou tamariki. Ahakoa te tokoiti ki te rārangi ingoa, kua whakapūmau tonu te whānau i ngā whakaurutanga.
Ka whakaatuhia e ngā tamariki te whanaungatanga i ā rātou taunekeneke ki ētahi atu.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e mau nei i te whakaute me te manaakitanga. He aronga whai hua ā ngā kaimahi i a rātou e mahi ana ki te taha o ngā tamariki. Ka whakamihi rātou i ngā whakamātau a ngā tamariki, ā, ka aro hoki ki ngā matea o ngā pēpi. E hāpai ana tēnei i ngā tamariki ki te whai whakaaro ki ō rātou hoa me ngā pakeke. Ka aro nui ki te tangata hei paihere i te whakawhanaungatanga. E mōhio ana ngā tamariki, ka taea e rātou te toro atu ki te āwhina o ngā kaimahi. Kei te harikoakoa ngā tamariki.
E ako ana ngā tamariki i ō rātou hononga ki waenga i a rātou anō, ā, ki tō rātou rohe hoki. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te taetae atu ki ngā pōwhiri, ngā poukai, me ngā tangihanga. Ka whakatauira rātou i ngā tikanga me ngā kawa i te marae me te kōhanga reo. Ka ako ngā tamariki ki te taki i ō rātou maunga, ō rātou awa, ō rātou hapū, ō rātou iwi, ō rātou ingoa, me ō rātou pakeketanga. He pārekareka ki a rātou te whakapuaki i ō rātou pepeha ki ō rātou hoa me te whānau. Ka kitea te māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu.
He whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te tūhura i tō rātou kōhanga reo. Kua whakaratohia e te whānau tētahi taiao e poipoi ana i te tūhura. He whānui ngā tūmomo rauemi e whakaongaonga i ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā tamariki. He pakari ngā tamariki ki te haereere i te papa tākaro. Ka taea e rātou ā rātou ake rauemi te whiriwhiri. Ko ngā hanganga pikipiki, ko te whānui hoki o ngā tūmomo waka iti ētahi o aua rauemi. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki te tākaro pohewa me te tākaro auaha. He whai wāhitanga mō rātou ki te tākaro ngātahi me te tākaro takitahi. He kaihōpara ngā tamariki.
E whanake ana te reo Māori. Ahakoa ka kōrero ngā kaimahi i te reo Māori i te nuinga o te wā, ka tahuri kē ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Pākehā. He mea nui kia rapu te whānau i ētahi rautaki e whakapūmau ai i te rumakitanga o te wāhi kōrero. Me tautoko ake i ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
Ka tae atu te whānau ki ngā hui, ā, ka whai wāhi atu ki ngā whakataunga. Ka whiwhi rātou i ngā pūrongo e pā ana ki ngā wāhanga matua o te kōhanga reo. Ko ētahi o aua pūrongo, ko ngā pūrongo o ia marama mō ngā pūtea, te hōtaka akoranga, me te whakangungu kaimahi. Kei te mōhio te whānau, he maha ngā wāhanga hei tirohanga mā rātou kia pakari ake ai te whakahaeretanga me ngā whakaritenga o tō rātou kōhanga reo.
Me āta titiro ki te whakahaeretanga o te whānau i ngā whakaritenga. Me whakarite te whānau i tētahi tukanga mō te arotake whaiaro, hei āta whakatau i te aroturukitanga o ngā wāhanga matua o ngā whakahaeretanga i ia te wā. Me āta titiro ki ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei.
Kāhore anō te tūtohinga, ngā kaupapa here, me ngā tukanga kia arotakengia. He maha ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga o te hauora me te haumaru kāhore e hāngai ana ki ngā herenga ā-ture o tēnei wā, tae atu ki te Children’s Act 2014. Kāhore he mauhanga kōrero o ngā wā tīni kope, o te aroturukitanga rānei o ngā wā moe o ngā tamariki. Kei te whakamōrearea aua tūāhuatanga i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki.
Kāhore he mahere ā-tau. Nō reira, kāhore ētahi wāhanga matua o ngā whakahaeretanga e aroturukitia ana. Kāhore te whānau e noho mārama ana ki te pūtake o te mahere ā-tau. Kua tae ki te wā kia whakatakotohia e te whānau tētahi mahere ā-tau e whakaraupapa ana i ngā whāinga mārama me ngā putanga. Kāhore e taea te whakatūturu te whai huatanga o ngā putanga e hāpai ai i te ako a ngā tamariki.
Kāhore anō te whānau kia whakaritea tētahi mahere rautaki me tētahi mahere mahi. He uaua ki te tāutu i ngā kaupapa matua a te whānau e arotahi atu ai ki ngā whakawhanaketanga o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei. E noho mōrearea ana te rōnakitanga o te kōhanga reo. Tē taea te whakatau te whakawhanaketanga o te reo Māori o ngā tamariki ā meāke nei.
Me whakapakari ake i ngā mahi e arohaehae ana i ngā kaimahi. I tēnei wā, kāhore te tukanga arohaehae e hāngai ana ki ngā mahi me ngā kawenga a ia kaimahi. Nā taua tūāhuatanga, he uaua ki te tāutu i te whakawhanaketanga ngaio e tika ana ki te whakatairanga ake i te kounga o ngā whakaritenga a ngā kaimahi. Kei te pā tōraro tēnei ki te kounga o te ako a ngā tamariki.
Me whakapakari ake i ngā whakaritenga mō te aromatawai me te aromātai. E tika ana kia tahuri te whānau ki te tautoko i te whai o ngā kaimahi i te whakawhanaketanga ngaio, hei whakapiki ake i tō rātou māramatanga ki te aromatawai me te aromātai. Kei te pā tōraro tēnei ki te kounga o te ako a ngā tamariki.
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 tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā wāhanga kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture. Kia tutuki i te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:
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 Kemureti i roto ngā tau e rua.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti is in Cambridge. Several generations of the same whānau have attended the kōhanga reo. The kaiako is a founding member. Whānau share aspirations for their children to be successful. Although the roll is low, the whānau have maintained enrolments.
Children show whanaungatanga through their interactions with others.
Children learn in an environment that is respectful and caring. Kaimahi have a positive approach to when working with children. They praise children’s efforts and are responsive to babies’ needs. This supports children to show consideration towards their peers and adults. Relationships are attentive. Children know they can go to kaimahi for help. Children are happy.
Children are learning about their connections to each other and to their area. Kaimahi provide opportunities for children to attend pōwhiri, poukai and tangihanga. They model appropriate tikanga and kawa on the marae and in the kōhanga reo. Children learn to recite their maunga, awa, hapū iwi, names and ages. They enjoy sharing their pepeha with their friends and whānau. Children show an understanding of their connections to others.
Children are given opportunities to explore their kōhanga reo. Whānau have provided an environment that fosters exploration. There are a range of resources to stimulate children’s interests. Children move around the playground with ease. They can choose their own resources. These include climbing structures including a range of miniature mobile vehicles. Children engage in imaginative and creative play. They have opportunities to play together or be by themselves. Children are explorers.
Te reo Māori is developing. Although kaimahi speak Māori most of the time, children prefer to speak English. It is important that whānau seek strategies to maintain an immersion speaking environment. Children need support to become speakers of te reo Māori.
Whānau attend hui where they can participate in decision making. They receive reports from key positions in the kōhanga reo. This includes monthly reports for finances, the learning programme and kaimahi training. Whānau understand that there are a number of areas they need to work on to strengthen the management and operations of their kōhanga reo.
Whānau management of operations requires attention. Whānau need to establish a process of self-review to ensure key aspects of operations are monitored regularly. The following areas require attention.
The charter, policies and procedures have not been reviewed. Several key health and safety policies and procedures do not align with current legislation, including Children’s Act 2014. There are no records of nappy changing or monitoring of children’s sleep patterns. Children’s health and safety may be compromised.
There is no annual plan in place. Therefore, key areas of operations are not monitored. Whānau are not clear about the purpose of an annual plan. It is timely that whānau put in place an annual plan with clear goals and outcomes. Positive outcomes to support children’s learning cannot be guaranteed.
The whānau have not yet established a strategic and action plan. It is difficult to identify whānau priorities that focuses on any future developments for the kōhanga reo. The sustainability of the kōhanga reo is at risk. Children’s future development of te reo Māori cannot be assured.
Kaimahi appraisals require strengthening. Currently the appraisals process does not align to the tasks and responsibilities of each kaimahi. As a result, it is difficult to identify appropriate professional development to lift the quality of kaimahi practice. The quality of children’s learning is compromised.
Assessment and evaluation practices need strengthening. There is the need for whānau to support kaimahi through appropriate professional development to increase their understanding of assessment and evaluation. The quality of children’s learning is compromised.
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 identified areas of non-compliance. For the kōhanga reo whānau to meet compliance requirements they need to:
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti will be within two years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti ki te tāone o Kemureti. He tino hononga tō te kōhanga reo ki tō rātou marae, ki Ngā Hau e Whā. Ahakoa te tokoiti o ngā tamariki, e noho pūmau ana te whānau ki te kounga o te mātauranga me te atawhai mō ā rātou tamariki ki te kōhanga reo.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti i roto i te toru o ngā tau.
Ko Maungatautari te maunga
Ko Waikato te awa
Ko Ngāti Korokī Kahukura te hapū
Ko Waikato te iwi
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti ki te taha o te marae o Ngā Hau e Whā, ki Kemureti. E mahi ngātahi tonu ana te whānau me ngā kaumātua o tēnei hapori. Ka āta tiakina te taiao, ā, he maha ngā tūmomo hua rākau me ngā māra.
He pakari ngā taunekeneke a ngā tamariki ki waenga i a rātou anō me te whānau.
E tautokona ana ngā tamariki, ā, he pai tā rātou aro nui ki te reo Māori. Kōrero Māori ai ngā kaimahi, puta noa i te rā. Ka mārama, ka whakamahi hoki ngā tamariki i te reo Māori māmā i ngā horopaki ōkawa. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā waiata, te pānui ngātahi, me ētahi atu tūmomo rautaki kia ngahau ai te ako i te reo. Ka āta whakarite rātou kia rongo ai ngā tamariki i te reo e hāngai pū ana ki tō rātou kōhanga reo me tō rātou marae. He tau ngā tamariki ki tētahi wāhi e kōrerohia ana te reo Māori.
E mōhio ana ngā tamariki ki tā rātou tū me ā rātou kawenga hei tangata whenua. Ka kite rātou i te whānau e whakatinana ana i te manaakitanga, te whanaungatanga, me te kotahitanga. Ka whai wāhi ngā tamariki ki ngā kaupapa me ngā huihuinga i te marae me te hapori, ki te taha anō hoki o ō rātou kaumātua me ō rātou kuia. E mōhio ana ngā tamariki ki a rātou anō, ki tō rātou tūrangawaewae hoki.
E whai wāhi ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao ako e noho whakaaio ana, e noho mārie ana hoki. Kua whakaritea e ngā kaimahi tētahi wāhi mārire mō ngā tamariki. He whānui ā rātou tūmomo rautaki papai hei whakatau i ngā tamariki. Ka aro nui, ka āta whakarongo hoki ngā tamariki i ngā wā ako ōkawa. Ka whai rātou i ngā mahinga, ā, ka whakapaipai haere rātou i ō rātou wāhi mahi. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki te āta ako mā te aro nui, mā te ū rawa ki ā rātou mahi. He harikoa ngā tamariki, ā, he māhorahora tā rātou taunekeneke ki waenga i a rātou anō, ki ngā pākeke hoki.
He mārama ngā tukanga ā ngā kaimahi mō te whakamahere me te aromatawai, ā, ka aro nui aua tukanga ki te ako a ngā tamariki. Ka whakatakoto ngā mahere i te kiko, ngā rauemi, me ngā rautaki whakaako. He ngāwari tonu te whakamahere, kia āhei ai ki te whakahāngai haere ki ngā ngākau nuitanga me ngā matea o ngā tamariki. He pai te whakaritenga me te whakahaeretanga i te hōtaka. Ka whai wāhi ngā tamariki ki ngā akoranga e whai pūtake ana.
He mārama te tirohanga a te whānau mō tō rātou kōhanga reo. Kua tāutuhia e rātou ā rātou whāinga me ā rātou kaupapa matua. Ko ētahi o ēnei, ko te whakapiki ake i ngā tatauranga tamariki, te ako a te whānau, me te whakawhanaketanga o tō rātou papa tākaro. Ka hāngai pū te aronga o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei, ki ngā matea o ngā tamariki.
Kua āta whakaritea te aromātai o roto. Kua arotakengia te tūtohinga, ā, he mārama ngā aratohu o roto mō te whakahaeretanga i te kōhanga reo i ia rā. Ka whiwhi te whānau i ngā pūrongo maha, ā, ka whakamōhio ēnei i ngā whakataunga. Kua whakatakotohia tētahi mahere mō te tiaki tonutanga o tō rātou whare. Ka aroturukitia ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. He pai te whakamōhio i te whānau mō ngā tūmomo kaupapa ki te kōhanga reo.
E whanakehia ana te aromātai hōtaka. Kāhore ngā kaimahi e whakatakoto ana i ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki ā rātou hui. Kāhore rātou e aroturuki ana i te whai huatanga o te hōtaka mō ngā tamariki.
I te wā o te arotake, i whakamātauhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha o te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei e whai pānga nui ana ki te waiora o ngā tamariki:
Ko te tikanga, ka whakatairanga ngā kōhanga reo katoa i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, me te arotake anō hoki i ia te wā i tā rātou whakatutukitanga i ngā herenga ā-ture.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti ki te tāone o Kemureti. He tino hononga tō te kōhanga reo ki tō rātou marae, ki Ngā Hau e Whā. Ahakoa te tokoiti o ngā tamariki, e noho pūmau ana te whānau ki te kounga o te mātauranga me te atawhai mō ā rātou tamariki ki te kōhanga reo.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti is in Cambridge. The kōhanga reo has a close relationship with their local marae, Ngā Hau E Whā. Despite a small roll of children the kōhanga reo whānau is committed to quality education and care for their children at kōhanga reo.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti will be in three years.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti sits alongside Ngā Hau e Whā Marae in Cambridge. The whānau, including local kaumātua, continue to work collaboratively. The physical environment is well maintained and includes a variety of fruit trees and gardens.
Children confidently interact with each other and whānau.
Children are supported and respond positively to te reo Māori. Kaimahi speak te reo Māori throughout the day. Children understand and use basic te reo Māori during formal situations. Kaimahi use waiata, shared reading and other strategies to make language learning fun. They ensure children are exposed to the specific language of their kōhanga reo and marae. Children are comfortable in a Māori speaking environment.
Children know about their roles and responsibilities as tangata whenua. They observe whānau as they practice manaakitanga, whanaungatanga and kotahitanga. Children participate in marae-based activities and community events alongside their kaumātua and kuia. Children know who they are and where they come from.
Children experience a learning environment that is peaceful and calm. Kaimahi have established a calm environment for children. They have a range of positive strategies to settle children. Children pay attention and listen attentively during formal learning times. They follow routines and keep their play areas tidy. Children experience uninterrupted learning where they can focus and concentrate on their work. Children are happy and interact freely with each other and adults.
Kaimahi have clear processes for planning and assessment that focus on children’s learning. Planning outlines the content, resources and teaching strategies. Planning is flexible enough to adapt to children’s interests and needs. The programme is well organised and managed. Children are engaged in meaningful learning.
The whānau have a clear vision for their kōhanga reo. They have identified their goals and priorities. These include increasing roll numbers, whānau learning and developing their playground. The future direction of the kōhanga reo is centred on the needs of children.
Internal evaluation is well established. The charter has been reviewed and provides clear guidelines for the day to day operation of the kōhanga reo. Whānau receive a number of reports to inform decision making. There is a plan in place for the ongoing maintenance of their building. Health and safety practices are monitored. Whānau are well informed of what is happening at kōhanga reo.
Programme evaluation is developing. Kaimahi do not keep clear records of their meetings. They do not monitor the effectiveness of the programme for children.
During the review, ERO looked at the kōhanga reo systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:
All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements.
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau agreed that the whānau:
continue to identify and implement strategies to build the roll
strengthen programme evaluation.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti is in Cambridge. The kōhanga reo has a close relationship with their local marae, Ngā Hau E Whā. Despite a small roll of children the kōhanga reo whānau is committed to quality education and care for their children at kōhanga reo.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Kemureti will be in three years.
