Te Kōhanga Reo o Kimihia is located on Nukuhau marae in Taupō. Whānau have well established relationships within the community, particularly with Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Whakarewa i te reo ki Tuwharetoa. Whānau send their children there after kōhanga reo. This is their Māori medium pathway.
Children display confidence in their kōhanga reo and in the surrounding environment.
Children are supported to develop their awareness of spiritual and cultural connections. Tikanga Māori guides their established routines. Whānau actively encourage interaction with the local kura. Children learn from their kura tuakana during these times. Kaimahi ensure that children experience leadership opportunities throughout the day. They are learning the importance of greeting others and acknowledging those who are absent. Children appear happy and settled.
Children are happy to explore their learning environment with each other and tuākana. They care for their learning environment. Kaimahi use strategies to show children how environmental changes can affect their learning environment. Local Kura Kaupapa Māori support the kōhanga reo practices of modelling care for the environment through tuākana teina interactions. Children learn about human impacts on their whenua and moana. Children connect with their tuākana from the kura at these events and at the kōhanga reo. They sing waiata about places of cultural significance. Children experience opportunities to recite their connections to those places. Children appear at home in the kōhanga reo.
Children experience meaningful relationships based on manaakitanga. Kaimahi are responsive to the needs of all children. Children recite whakapapa and whānau connections that affirm their relationships with others. Children learn to serve and care for others. They are praised for their efforts and achievements. They know each other well. Whānau actively contribute to children’s learning experiences. Children look for comfort and reassurance from others. They show they are happy in their learning environment. Children appear to have meaningful relationships with others.
Children learn in an environment that values te reo Māori. Kaimahi are competent language models. They work together to support children to communicate in te reo Māori. Kaimahi prompt children’s responses through questioning. Listening activities support language development. Waiata and te reo rotarota support children’s understanding of te reo Māori. Tuakana speak in sentences. Younger children mimic language sounds. Waiata Māori play in the background providing an additional language model. They experience formal language of whakatau. Children respond well to te reo Maori and are developing as speakers of te reo Māori.
Children are encouraged to explore both natural and physical resources. Kaimahi maintain a creative programme that captures children’s interests. They know where resources are stored and readily access them. They investigate a variety of textures, shapes and colours learning to identify and name each. There is a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy. Children confidently move throughout and between the learning spaces. Dancing and jumping are common learning activities. Children learn a variety of fine motor skills that support their learning. Children appear as confident learners.
The essential elements of programme planning and assessment are in place. Kaimahi include whānau aspirations and requests into children’s learning experiences. Planning flexibly allows the kaimahi to respond to spontaneous learning opportunities. These may arise out of children’s interests or local issues of importance. Plans link directly to assessments. Individual assessments are kept for all children. Aro mātai i te tamaiti and learning stories document progress over time. Kaiako report regularly to whānau hui. Whānau are well informed of children’s learning and progress.
Strategic planning is being developed. Whānau long term goals and aspirations are being clarified. The whānau are working with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust (TKRNT) to complete their strategic plan. They are committed to ensuring they are sustainable into the future.
Whānau meet regularly and have good decision-making processes in place. They review a wide range of kaupapa that are focused on well-being and health and safety for their children. Regular reports are provided on finance, children’s progress, kaimahi professional development and the relationship with the kura. Kaimahi appraisals have begun and will soon be completed. Whānau have children at the heart of their decision-making processes.
Self review requires strengthening. While the charter is in place, only some of the policies have been signed and dated. It is uncertain when some of the policies were last reviewed. Programme evaluation is developing. Kaimahi understand the purpose of evaluation however it is not done regularly. They identify what worked well and what did not. The next phase is to have a focus on how to improve moving forward or on the next occasion. Kaimahi understand how this will support them to improve the quality of learning experiences for children.
Whānau do not have an annual plan. The annual plan provides a guide to monitor all key kōhanga reo operations across the year. Whilst some ongoing priorities have been achieved it is important to ensure that all key tasks are successfully 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 identified areas of non-compliance. In order for the kōhanga reo whānau to meet compliance requirements they need to:
ERO developed the following recommendation that the whānau seek support from TKRNT to address the key next steps and areas of non-compliance as identified in this report.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Kimihia will be in three years.

Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Kimihia i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Kimihia is located in Taupō and based at Nukuhau marae. The marae as a learning environment contribute to children’s sense of identity and wellbeing. Whanaungatanga underpin children’s learning and promotes positive behaviour. Children’s confidence is growing to be able to converse in te reo Māori with others. Strengthening internal evaluation practices would further benefit children. Children are happy in a supportive learning environment.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Kimihia will be in three years.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Kimihia is located in Taupō and based at the Nukuhau marae. The kōhanga reo whānau maintain close ties to Tūwharetoa and surrounding iwi including Raukawa and Waikato.
Whanaungatanga is the bond that strengthens the whanau members who are committed to their iwi, hapū and to their kōhanga reo. The emphasis on their kaupapa Rauhototanga, which is their hapū, provides the framework for teaching and learning.
The kōhanga reo is well supported by the whanau and local community.
Children show their confidence in who they are, by engaging in a range of cultural activities.
Children are learning in a positive te reo Māori environment. They are surrounded by te reo Māori symbols and images that reinforce the importance of te ao Māori. Children speak te reo Māori spontaneously to kaimahi and to other adults. Kaimahi are providing regular opportunities to extend children’s te reo Māori through a variety of learning contexts. Children enjoy moving, singing and expressing themselves happily in te reo Māori. Children are growing in confidence in their use of te reo Māori.
Children have a strong sense of belonging and connectedness. Children are comfortable in their kōhanga reo. They learn about whakapapa that helps them to grow their understanding of their connections to each other, their hapū and iwi. Children participate in karakia and waiata that affirm their identity. Children are well supported as they learn about themselves.
Children participate in pōwhiri and kaupapa on the marae. Children are extended through opportunities to lead and speak in front of their peers. They naturally show manaaki and aroha towards others. There are strong tuakana-teina relationships that extend beyond kōhanga reo. Children are growing in their knowledge of their role as tangata whenua.
Children’s well-being is nurtured through whanaungatanga. Kaimahi and whānau model positive and respectful relationships. They manage behaviour with care and consideration. Children are comfortable in themselves and with those around them in their kōhanga reo.
Children are curious about their natural and physical environments. Children enjoy playing and experimenting with a range of resources. They associate te reo Māori with the physical environment. They enjoy exploring on their own and with others. Children confidently negotiate and navigate their way through independent learning. They show confidence in taking risks. Children enjoy the opportunity to explore their own interests. Children are inquisitive learners.
Kaimahi planning is effective and is based on Ngā Atua and links to Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira. Kaimahi use an integrated model that brings together the daily, weekly, monthly and term plans. Kaimahi are flexible enough to work through any last minute changes to suit the learning interests of children. Children’s learning needs are well considered.
Children’s learning is captured in a number of ways. Learning for children and kaimahi is a continuous process. Kaimahi observe and record what children are doing and how they respond to aspects of the learning programme. Whānau have opportunities to contribute to their child’s progress. Assessment information, however, is wide spread. Kaimahi are yet to consolidate all the anecdotal evidence and Mātai Mokopuna. Children are happy in their learning.
Whānau have reasonably good systems in place to remain accountable and transparent. Although strengthening internal evaluation practices would further benefit children, the whānau manage the kōhanga reo to the best of their ability for their children.
The kōhanga reo is managed predominantly by kaimahi and core whānau members. There is a high level of trust between kaimahi and whānau. They meet regularly to wānanga kaupapa pertaining to kōhanga reo operations and personnel. Processes are open and transparent and keeps the whanau accountable. There is a strong emphasis on growing te reo Māori capability for children and whānau. Children at the forefront of whanau decision making.
Children’s future direction is prioritised in te reo Māori through Te Ara Tūāpae. Whānau have developed their strategic goals and meet regularly to monitor their progress against their goals. Whānau are focused on increasing participation and engagement to provide improved outcomes for children.
Whilst most policies are in place for the health and safety of children, there are some basic elements missing including the use of registers for daily practices. Internal evaluation requires attention. Although whānau are showing evaluative practices across the kōhanga reo, review, reporting and monitoring overall could be strengthened Whānau are growing in their knowledge of internal evaluation and prioritising what to act on in the best interest of their 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.
3.1 ensure that a procedure for monitoring children’s sleep is displayed and implemented and a record of children’s sleep times is documented[Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; HS9 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
3.2 ensure that the procedures for changing nappies is displayed, implemented and a record is kept[Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; HS12 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
3.3 ensure that the kōhanga reo physical environment, including the premises, and facilities 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]
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
to continue seeking support from the TKRNT to address health and safety matters and to further develop and strengthen evaluative practices across the kōhanga reo.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Kimihia is located in Taupō and based at Nukuhau marae. The marae as a learning environment contribute to children’s sense of identity and wellbeing. Whanaungatanga underpin children’s learning and promotes positive behaviour. Children’s confidence is growing to be able to converse in te reo Māori with others. Strengthening internal evaluation practices would further benefit children. Children are happy in a supportive learning environment.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Kimihia will be in three years.
