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 Mangawhero Te Whare Pōtiki me Te Kōhanga Reo o Mangawhero ki te wāhi kotahi i Whanganui. E poipoi ana tēnei kōhanga reo i ngā mokopuna kei raro i te rua tau, ā, ka whakamahi ngātahi rātou i te papa tākaro o waho me ō rātou tuākana. Kua whakaroa ake te whānau i ngā hāora whakahaere mō ngā mokopuna, hei hāpai i ngā whānau e mahi ana.
E whanake ana te noho mōhio o ngā mokopuna ki ngā hononga i te taiao o tō rātou ao Māori.
E atawhaitia ana, e poipoia ana ngā hononga o ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao ako e tautoko ana i a rātou. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i te ārahitanga papai, ā, he ngāwari ō rātou āhua, i a rātou e whai wāhi atu ana ki ngā mokopuna mā ngā huarahi pārekareka. E tino whakatutukihia ana ngā matea o ngā pēpi e ngā kaimahi, ā, ka hāpai rātou i te taunekeneke a ngā tēina ki ngā tuākana. Ka toro atu ngā kaimahi ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki e hāpai ana i ngā mokopuna ki te whakapakari ake i tō rātou māramatanga ki te reo Māori. Ko ētahi o aua rautaki, ko ngā patapatai, ko ngā tohu ā-ringa, ko te whāngai kupu, me te tohutohu. Ka rongo ngā pēpi i te whānuitanga o ngā karakia, ngā mihimihi, me ngā rotarota. Ka kitea whānuitia ngā menemene me te katakata o ngā pēpi, e tohu ai i tō rātou whai māramatanga ki tēnā e whakapuakihia ana ki ngā waiata me ngā whakawhitinga kōrero. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i te ako a ngā mokopuna, i tā rātou tākaro hoki ki te taha o ō rātou hoa. E wātea ana ngā wāhi ako ki ngā mokopuna, ā, ka whakamahi tahi i te papa tākaro o waho me ō rātou tuākana. Kua whakaritea ngā wāhi mō ngā tuākana, ngā tēina, me ngā pēpi, ā, ka hāpai i a rātou ki te tūhura haere i te wāhi e tika ana mō ō rātou rōpū reanga. Ko ngā wāhi o roto, kua āta whakaritea, he nui hoki ngā rauemi, he muramura, ā, ka whakatairanga i te tākaro, i te mahi auaha, me te tūhura haere. Kua taunga ngā whakawhitinga o te hōtaka akoranga, puta noa i te rā. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga ako me ngā wheako ako pārekareka. I ngā wā katoa ka whakakoia ngā kaimahi i te eke angitu o ngā mokopuna. Ka whiwhi ngā mokopuna i ngā akoranga e poipoi ana, e atawhai ana hoki i ō rātou hononga ki waenga i a rātou anō, ki tō rātou taiao hoki.
Ko te whai wāhi atu a te whānau ki te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo tētahi āhuatanga e noho āwangawanga tonu ana. Me whakarite i te aromātai o roto. Kāhore he tukanga mārama mō te aroturukitanga o te kounga o ngā pūnaha. Ahakoa he whai wāhitanga mō te whānau ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā take whakahaere, kāhore rātou e taetae atu ana ki ngā hui ā-whānau.
Kāhore anō kia whakamanahia ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. He mea nui kia hāngai ērā ki ngā herenga ā-ture o tēnei wā. Kāhore te whānau me ngā kaimahi e tino mārama ana ki te whai pānga o taua tūāhuatanga ki ngā nekehanga i te kōhanga reo. Tē taea te hauora me te waiora o ngā mokopuna te whakapūmau.
Kāhore anō kia whakatinanahia te mahere ā-tau. He uaua ki te tātari i te āhua tonu o te whakatinanatanga me te aroturukitanga o ngā mahi matua e whakariterite ana i ngā whakahaeretanga. Kua tae ki te wā kia whakatakotohia tētahi mahere ā-tau hei āta whakatau i te whakatutukitanga o ngā mahi matua i te tari i roto i te wā e tika ana.
Ahakoa ka tautuhi te mahere rautaki i ngā kaupapa matua mō te whakawhanaketanga o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei, kāhore he mahere mahi hei āta whakatau i te aroturukitanga me te pūrongo atu o ngā putanga. Tē taea te rōnakitanga pae tawhiti o te kōhanga reo te whakatūturu.
Kāhore anō kia whakamātauhia ngā akoako ohotata me ngā hōneatanga ohotata. Me āta whakarite te whānau i te whakatutukitanga tika me te tuhi haere hoki o ngā akoako e pā ana ki te rū whenua me te ahi.
Me arotake i te aromātai hōtaka me te aromatawai i te mokopuna. I tēnei wā, kāhore ngā tūāhuatanga matua o te aromātai me te aromatawai kei roto i aua tuhinga. Kua tae ki te wā kia toro atu ngā kaimahi ki te tautoko e whakapakari ai i ō rātou pūkenga me tō rātou āheinga ki te whakapuaki i te hōtaka whai hua mā ngā mokopuna. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna mā te whakapiki ake i te mōhiotanga o ngā kaimahi ki te aromātai hōtaka me te aromatawai, mō te whakatairanga tonutanga.
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 Mangawhero Te Whare Pōtiki and Te Kōhanga Reo Mangawhero share the same site in Whanganui. This kōhanga reo caters for mokopuna under two years old and share an outdoor play area with their tuākana. The whānau have extended operational hours for mokopuna to support working families.
Mokopuna are developing an understanding of connections in their te ao Māori environment.
Mokopuna connections are fostered and nurtured in a supportive learning environment. Kaimahi model positive guidance and they are gentle and engage with mokopuna in fun ways. Pepi needs are well met by kaimahi who also enable them to interact with their tuākana. Kaimahi draw on a range of strategies to support mokopuna to build their understanding of te reo Māori. These include questions, gestures, prompts and instructions. Pepi hear a range of karakia, mihimihi and rotarota. Smiles and laughter from pēpi are common responses that show how well they understand what is being expressed through waiata and conversations. Kaimahi support mokopuna to learn and play alongside each other. Mokopuna have access to learning spaces and the outside playground that is shared alongside their tuakana. Designated areas for tuakana, tēina and pēpi enable them to explore in a space that is relevant for their age groups. The indoor spaces are well organised, resourced, colourful and promote play, creativity, and exploration. Transitions in the learning programme throughout the day are familiar. Kaimahi provide learning opportunities and experiences that are fun. They constantly affirm mokopuna success. Mokopuna experience learning that fosters and nurtures their connections to each other and their taiao.
Whānau participation in the managing the kōhanga reo operations is an area of concern. Internal evaluation needs to be established. There are no clear processes in place to monitor the quality of systems. Whilst there are opportunities for whānau to contribute to management matters, they do not attend whānau hui.
Health and safety policies and procedures have not been ratified. It is important that these align to current legislation. Whānau and kaimahi do not fully understand how this influences what happens in kōhanga reo. Mokopuna health and wellbeing cannot be guaranteed.
Implementation of the annual plan has not yet happened. It is difficult to gauge how the administration of key aspects of operations are being implemented and monitored. It is time to establish an annual plan to ensure key administration tasks are completed in a timely manner.
While the strategic plan identifies what the priorities are for the future development of the kōhanga reo, there is no action plan to ensure the outcomes are monitored and reported. The long term sustainability of the kōhanga reo cannot be guaranteed.
Emergency drills and evacuations have not been carried out. Whānau must ensure requirements for earthquake and fire drills are carried out and recorded appropriately.
Programme evaluation and mokopuna assessment need to be reviewed. Currently, neither contain critical elements required of evaluation and assessment. It is time for whānau to seek support for kaimahi to build their capability and capacity to deliver an effective programme for the mokopuna. Mokopuna would benefit from increasing kaimahi knowledge of programme evaluation and assessment for ongoing improvement.
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
[Regulation 46 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; GMA6 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ensure there is a process to implement and monitor the progress of key aspects of the annual plan of operations
[Regulation 47 Education (Early Childhood Services] Regulations 2008; GMA8 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ensure to establish sound health and safety policies and procedures and align to current legislation [Regulation 46 (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; HS3, 9, 12, 17, 27, 28, 31, 34 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
review procedures to ensure all requirements for earthquake emergency evacuation drills are carried out and recorded
[Regulation 46 (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; [HS8 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
implement a process of assessment to monitor and record children’s learning and establish a process to evaluate the effectiveness of the learning programme
[Regulation 43 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; C1 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO and the Kōhanga reo whānau recommends immediate support from the district office be provided to prioritise action to ensure the quality and care of mokopuna is improved.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Mangawhero Te Whare Pōtiki ki Whanganui. E whakarato ana te kōhanga reo i te atawhai me te mātauranga ki ngā tamariki kei raro i te rua o ngā tau. Ko ngā tamariki kua pakeke ake i te rua o ngā tau, ka poipoia kētia i Te Kōhanga Reo o Mangawhero, e tū ana ki te taha. He wāhi tākaro o waho mō ngā kōhanga reo e rua. Ka ū te whānau ki ō rātou tino hononga ki ngā iwi o Whanganui.
E āta whakatinanahia ana e ngā tamariki te whanaungatanga ki ā rātou taunekeneke ki waenga i a rātou anō, ā, ki ngā pakeke hoki.
Kei te rongo ngā tamariki i te manaakitanga. Ka āta whakarite ngā kaimahi kia tau ai te wairua harikoakoa ki te wāhi ako nei. Ka whakatairanga, ka whakatauira hoki rātou i te āhua o te whanonga pai. E whakatinana ana hoki ngā tamariki i aua uara i roto i te noho whakaute o tētahi ki tētahi. Ko ngā mahinga me ngā whakaritenga i whakawhanakehia ai e ngā kaimahi, e tautāwhitia ana ngā tamariki ki te korowai aroha. Ko ngā awhiawhi me te whakangahau e whakamāmā ana i ngā tamariki ina e noho rangirua ana. Ka manaakitia ngā pēpi ki te aroha, ā, ka tau wawe rātou. Kei te mōhiotia, kei te māramahia e ngā tamariki ngā tūmanako o ngā kaimahi. Ka tākaro ngātahi ngā tuākana, ngā tēina me ngā pōtiki ki tō rātou papa tākaro wāteatea, ā, i ngā wā karakia me ngā wā waiata. Ka whakapuaki ngā tamariki i te aroha ki waenga i rātou anō.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e whakanui ana i ngā whakapapa. Kei te tino mōhio ngā kaimahi ki ngā tamariki me ngā whānau. Ka akiaki rātou i ngā whānau ki te rangahau i ō rātou pepeha, hei whakapuakitanga i ngā wā ako ōkawa hei rōpū. Ka poipoi ngā kaimahi i ngā mōhiotanga o ngā tamariki ki ngā kōrero tuku iho me ngā tino pouwhenua e noho whakahirahira ana ki ngā iwi o Whanganui. Ka rongo ngā tamariki i ngā koroua e taki ana i ngā whakapapa, ā, ka mārama haere rātou ki te whakahirahiratanga o ngā tātai whakapapa e tūhonohono ana i ngā whānau. Ka haere ngā tamariki ki ngā hui, ka rongo rātou i ngā ingoa o ngā tūpuna e waiatatia ana e rātou ki ngā pātere. Kei te whakawhanakehia te māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki ō rātou tuakiri.
Ka rangona e ngā tamariki te reo Māori. Ka whāngai kupu ngā kaimahi hei akiaki i ngā tamariki ki te whakautu kōrero mā te ngākau titikaha, ka whakatauira hoki rātou i te reo, ā, ka poipoi rātou i te whakamahinga o ngā tamariki i te reo Māori mā ngā karakia, ngā waiata, me ngā mōteatea. Ka whakatauira rātou i te mita o Whanganui. Ko te āta rongo i te reo ake o ngā kuia me ngā koroua i ia te wā, e whakahōhonu ana i te reo o ngā tamariki. Ko ngā oro me ngā kōrerorero a ngā pēpi e tohua ana hei āhuatanga o te whakawhanaketanga reo. Kei te tākare ake ngā tēina, ā, ka whakamahi rātou i ngā kupu māmā i a rātou e whakawhānui ake ana i ā rātou puna kupu. He tika te aro atu a ngā kaimahi ki ngā pēpi me ngā tamariki e whakamātau ana i te reo. E whanake ana te pakari o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
Ka noho ngātahi ngā tamariki ki te tākaro, te tohatoha, me te ako. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rauemi, ngā tūmomo taputapu, me ngā tūmomo wāhi hei tūhuratanga mā ngā tamariki. Ka ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki te tākaro ngātahi i a rātou e tūhura ana i te wāhi o waho. Ko ngā māra huawhenua me ngā māra putiputi he wāhi hei keri, hei hongihongi, hei tūhura hoki. Ka whai wā ki te tākaro takitahi me te tākaro takirōpū. Ka whiriwhiri ngā tamariki i te tini o ngā rauemi e wero ana i ngā tairongo, i te taha auaha, ā, i te taha tinana hoki o ngā tamariki. Kua whakatakotohia ngā taputapu tākaro hei whakapakari i ngā pūkenga ā-tinana, ā, hei akiaki i ngā tamariki ki te tūmāia me te whakamātau. Ko ngā haereere i te takiwā e whakaongaonga ana i te pākiki o ngā tamariki ki tō rātou hapori whānui. Kei te pākiki ngā tamariki i tō rātou taiao.
Ka mahi ngātahi ki te whakahaere i te tari. Ka whakatutuki haere tētahi rōpū kaiwhakahaere tari i ngā whakahaeretanga o ia rā ki ngā kōhanga reo e rua. E āta hāpaitia ana te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi e te whānau. Ko te kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te arohaehae, e āta hāpai ana i ngā kaimahi ki te whakapai ake. Kua whakatakotohia ngā rehita e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. E āta whakamōhiotia ana ngā mātua ina he aituā, he maiki rānei e whai pānga ana ki ā rātou ake tamariki.
Ko ngā ngākau nuitanga me ngā matea o ngā tamariki te aronga o ngā mahere. Ka whakamahere ngātahi ngā kaimahi katoa o ngā kōhanga reo e rua i ngā wāhanga o ia tau. Ka whai whakaaro nui ngā kaimahi ki ngā tini huarahi ako o ngā tamariki. E arahina ngā wheako akoranga a ngā tamariki ki ngā mahere i whakahāngaitia ai ki ngā pēpi, ki ngā tēina, ā, ki ngā tuākana hoki. Ka tāutuhia ngā taumahi ā-reanga, ā-whakawhanaketanga hoki mō ia rōpū. Ka ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki ā rātou akoranga.
Me whakapakari ake i te mōhiotanga o ngā kaimahi ki te aromatawai me te aromātai. Ko te māramatanga ngātahi ki aua tukanga ka hāpai tonu i te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki me tō rātou whakawhanaketanga.
Ahakoa te whai wāhitanga mō te whānau ki te whakatau whakaaro mō ngā whakaritenga me ngā whakahaeretanga, kāhore rātou e whakatutuki ana i tā rātou kawenga ki te taetae atu ki ngā hui ā-whānau. He nui ngā take e pēnei ana ngā mātua me ngā whānau, tae atu hoki ki te ukiuki o ā rātou nā mahi. E tika ana i nāianei kia rapua e te whānau te rongoā e whakatutuki ai i ā rātou kawenga ki tō rātou whānau me te kōhanga reo. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā te whai wāhi atu a te whānau ki ngā whakataunga.
Nō mua mai te whānau i whakatutuki ai i ngā whakaritenga kia arohaehaengia ngā kaimahi e ngā pirihimana, engari kāhore aua whakatutukitanga e hāngai ana ki tēnei wā tonu. Kua tawhito rawa ngā taipitopito kōrero e pā ana ki ngā mahi arowhai a ngā pirihimana i ngā kaimahi. Ko tā te Children’s Act o te tau 2014 e whakatau ai, me whakaoti te whānau i ngā whakaritenga kia arowhaingia ngā kaimahi katoa e ngā pirihimana i mua i tā rātou tīmatanga mahi ki te taha o ngā tamariki. E ata whakarite ana hoki kia whakahoungia, kia arowhaingia hoki aua mōhiohio i ia toru tau.
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 ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Mangawhero Te Whare Pōtiki i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Mangawhero te Whare Pōtiki is in Whanganui. It provides care and education for children under two years of age. Children over two years attend Te Kōhanga Reo o Mangawhero, which is next door. The kōhanga reo share an outdoor play area. The whānau maintain strong links to the iwi of Whanganui.
Children positively demonstrate whanaungatanga in their interactions with each other and with adults.
Children experience manaakitanga. Kaimahi ensure the environment is a happy place. They promote and model positive behaviours. Children reflect these values in their respect for each other. Kaimahi have developed routines and practices that embrace children in a cocoon of aroha. Hugs, cuddles and fun ease children’s upsets. Pēpi receive loving care and settle quickly. Children know and understand the expectations of kaimahi. Tuakana, teina and pēpi play together in the shared spacious playground and at combined karakia and waiata times. Children show love toward each other.
Children learn in an environment that celebrates whakapapa. Kaimahi know the children and whānau well. They encourage whānau to research their pepeha for children to use at formal group times. Kaimahi foster children’s knowledge about significant Whanganui stories and landmarks. Children hear koroua recite whakapapa and begin to understand the importance of knowing about family connections. When children go to formal hui, they hear the names of the tupuna that they sing about in pātere. Children are developing their understanding of knowing who they are.
Children are exposed to te reo Māori. Kaimahi use prompts to encourage children to respond with confidence, they model the language, and foster children’s use of te reo Māori in karakia, waiata and mōteatea. They model the mita of Whanganui. Regular exposure to the formal reo of kuia and koroua embellishes children’s reo. Babies’ babbles, coos and squeals are recognised as their language development. Teina are more exuberant and use simple kupu as they grow their vocabulary. Kaimahi respond appropriately to babies and children’s language attempts. Children are developing as confident speakers of te reo Māori.
Children play, share and learn together. Kaimahi provide a range and variety of resources, equipment and settings for children to explore. Children play happily together when exploring the outdoor environment. Vegetable and flower gardens are places to dig, smell and explore. There are options for independent and group play. Children choose between a variety of resources to challenge sensory, creative and physical needs. Play equipment is set up to build physical challenges and encourage children to be courageous and have a go. Walks around the neighbourhood stimulate children’s curiosity in their wider community. Children are curious in their environment.
Administrative duties are collective. A team of administrators see to the daily operations of both kōhanga reo. Personnel management is well supported by the whānau. The appraisal policy and procedures support kaimahi improvement. Health and safety registers are in place. Parents are well informed about any accidents or incidents involving their child.
Children’s interests and needs are a focus for planning. Kaimahi, from both kōhanga reo, plan each term together. Kaimahi recognise children learn differently. Separate plans for pēpi, teina and tuakana guide children’s learning experiences. Age and developmental specific activities are identified for each roopū. Children enjoy their learning.
There is a need to strengthen kaimahi knowledge about assessment and evaluation. A collective understanding of both processes will continue to support children’s progress and development.
Whilst whānau have an opportunity to contribute to decision making for operations and management, they are yet to meet their responsibilities to attend whānau hui. There are a range of reasons for this, including full time working families. The need has arisen for whānau to find a solution that will adequately meet their responsibilities to their whānau and the kōhanga reo.
Although whānau have previously police vetted kaimahi, this is not current. Police vetting information of kaimahi is out dated. The Children’s Act 2014 requires whānau to complete police vetting of all kaimahi working with children before they start working with children. It also stipulates the updating and rechecking of this information every three years.
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 and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Mangawhero Te Whare Pōtiki will be in three years.
