View on mapE tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Mihiwairua ki te hapori o Pāharakeke, ki Heretaunga, ā, he kōhanga reo noho kāinga tēnei. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, he nui ngā rerekētanga ki ngā tūnga kaimahi, tae atu hoki ki te whakatūnga o tētahi kaiako matua hou me tētahi kaiwhakahaere hou.
Kei te tūmāia, kei te whai wāhi nui ngā tamariki ki ā rātou akoranga.
He whakaute ngā hononga o ngā tamariki ki ētahi atu. E tautāwhitia ana ngā tamariki e ngā kaimahi ki tētahi taiao e poipoi ana i a rātou. Ka whakamihi, ka akiaki hoki rātou i ngā wā katoa, hei whakatairanga ake i te tūmāia o ngā tamariki. He pai te aro atu a ngā tamariki ki aua whakamanawa. Ka whakaaro nui ngā tamariki tuākana ki ngā tēina me ngā pēpi. Ka ākina rātou kia manaaki rātou i ō rātou tēina me ō rātou hoa. He pai te taunekeneke a ngā tamariki ki ētahi atu.
He whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te ārahi. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki te ārahi i ngā kaupapa pērā i ngā mihimihi, i ngā mihi whakatau, i ngā karakia. Ka tūmāia ngā tamariki tuākana ki te taki i ō rātou pepeha. He kaha rātou ki te āwhina me te tū hei tauira mō ngā tamariki tēina. Ka whakamahara ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki, mā rātou ngā kaupapa nei e ārahi ā tōna wā. He mārama te āhua o te whanonga e tika ana. E mōhio ana ngā tamariki ki tēnā e tūmanakohia ana mō rātou. E tupu mai ana ngā tamariki hei kaiārahi o ā rātou akoranga.
E hāpaitia ana te tūhura haere o ngā tamariki i ō rātou taiao ako. Ka whakarite ngā kaimahi i ngā wāhi o waho kia āhei ai ngā tamariki ki te tūhura me te taunekeneke haere. He muramura te wāhi o roto e whakaratohia ana, ā, e whai pūtake ana hoki. He māhorahora te whakawhitiwhiti haere o ngā tamariki ki ngā wāhi o roto, o waho hoki. Ka whai wāhi atu rātou ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi e whakaongaonga ana i a rātou. Ka aro wawe ngā kaimahi ki ngā matea o ngā tamariki, i te wā ka pupū ake. Ka whakarite rātou i ngā taumahi e whakawhānui ana i ngā whakaaro o ngā tamariki. E whai wāhi atu ana ngā tamariki ki ā rātou akoranga, ā, he ngākau titikaha hoki ō rātou hei ākonga.
Ka ako ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao reo rua. E aro rawa ana ki te whakaako i te reo Māori, ā, kāhore kē e whakaako ana mā te reo Māori. Kei te aro matua ki ngā hanganga ōkawa o te reo Māori. Ka kōrero ngā tamariki i te reo Pākehā ki ō rātou hoa me ngā kaimahi. Kei te mārama ngā tamariki ki ngā tohutohu māmā me ngā kupu māmā. Heoi, e whakamahi ana ngā kaimahi i te reo Māori i a rātou e taunekeneke ana ki ngā tamariki. Ka whai hua ake te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki mā te rumaki ake i a rātou ki te reo Māori.
He pai te mahi ngātahi a ngā kaimahi ki te whakatutuki i ngā matea o ia rōpū reanga. Kua whakatinanahia e te kaiako tētahi tukanga whakamahere hou mā ngā kaimahi. Kei ngā mahere hōtaka te aronga mārama mō te whakaako me te ako ki te kōhanga reo. E whai wāhi ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi hōtaka akoranga e aro nui ana ki ō rātou ngākau nuitanga.
He pai ngā mahi a te whānau ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. He tautōhito te kaiwhakahaere, ā, e whai hua ana āna mahi ki te whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga o te kōhanga reo. Kua whakaritea tētahi mahere rautaki, ā, e whakatakoto ana tēnei i te aronga o ngā whakawhanaketanga a te whānau mō meāke nei. E hāpaitia ana tēnei ki tētahi mahere mahi e aroturuki ana i te ahunga whakamua o ngā whāinga a te whānau me ō rātou wawata. E hāngai ana te tūtohinga ki Te Korowai me Ngā Pou e Whā. E hāngai ana te katoa o ngā tuhinga kaimahi ki te wā, ā, kua waitohungia hoki. Kua whakatutukihia ngā arohaehae, ā, kua puta te whakawhanaketanga ngaio i runga anō i te āhua o aua mahi. Kua whakahou ake te katoa o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga, hei whakatutuki anō hoki i ngā herenga ā-ture o Te Ture Oranga Tamariki. E whakamōhio ana te mahere ā-tau i te whānau me ngā kaimahi, mō ngā whakahaeretanga o te wā. Kua whakaritea te katoa o ngā rēhita me ngā akoako, ā, ka āta tuhia hoki. E whakahaere ana te whānau i te kōhanga reo hei painga mō ngā tamariki.
Kua tae ki te wā kia whakawhanake tonu ngā kaimahi i ō rātou mōhiotanga me ō rātou māramatanga ki te aromatawai me te aromātai hōtaka e whai hua ai. He mea nui kia pakari ake, kia riterite ake hoki te tūhonohono o ngā kaimahi ki ngā mahere me te ahu whakamua o ngā tamariki i roto i te roanga o te wā. He uaua anō hoki ki te aroturuki i te whai huatanga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ko te whakapakari ake i ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te aromatawai me te aromātai ka whakatairanga ake i te ako a ngā tamariki me tō rātou whakawhanaketanga.
I te wā o te aromātai, i whakamātauhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha o te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei e whai pānga nui ana ki te waiora o ngā tamariki:
Ko te tikanga, ka whakatairanga ngā kōhanga reo katoa i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, me te arotake anō hoki i ia te wā i tā rātou whakatutukitanga i ngā herenga ā-ture.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Mihiwairua i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Mihiwairua is located in Flaxmere, Hastings and is a home-based kōhanga reo. Since the previous ERO review, there have been significant staffing changes including the appointment of a new kaiako matua and kaiwhakahaere.
Children are confident and engaged in their learning.
Children have respectful relationships with others. Kaimahi immerse the children in a nurturing environment. They regularly use praise and encouragement to promote children’s confidence. Children respond well to this affirmation. Older children are mindful of younger children and babies. They are encouraged to be caring with their teina and peers. Children interact positively with others.
Children are provided with leadership opportunities. Kaimahi encourage children to lead activities such as mihimihi, mihi whakatau and karakia. Older children are confident to recite their pepeha. They are helpful role models to the younger children. Kaimahi remind children that they will lead these activities when they become older. They are clear boundaries for behaviour. Children know what is expected of them. Children are emerging as leaders of their learning.
Children are supported to explore their learning environments. Kaimahi prepare the outdoor areas for children to explore and interact. They provide a colourful and purposeful indoor area. Children move freely between the indoor and outdoor areas. They take part in a range of activities that are stimulating. Kaimahi are responsive to children’s immediate needs. They prepare activities that extend children’s thinking. Children are engaged in their learning and are confident learners.
Children learn in a bilingual environment. There is a tendency to teach te reo Māori as opposed to teaching through the Māori language. They focus primarily on formal usages of te reo Māori. Children speak English to their peers and kaimahi. Children understand basic instructions and words. However, kaimahi use English in their interactions with children. Children’s language development would benefit from greater immersion in te reo Māori.
Kaimahi work well together to meet the needs of targeted age groups. The kaiako has implemented a new planning process for kaimahi. Programme planning gives clear direction for teaching and learning in the kōhanga reo. Children enjoy a learning programme that is responsive to their interests.
The whānau manage the kōhanga reo well. The kaiwhakahaere is experienced and effectively manages kōhanga reo operations. There is a strategic plan in place which provides the whānau with direction for their future development. This is supported by an action plan that will monitor the progress of whānau goals and aspirations. The charter reflects Te Korowai and Ngā Pou e Whā. All personnel documents are updated and signed. Appraisals have been carried out and have led to professional development. All policies and procedures have been updated to include the requirements under the Vulnerable Children’s Act. An annual plan informs whānau and kaimahi of current operations. All registers and drills are in place and well documented. The whānau manage the kōhanga reo in the best interests of children.
It is time for kaimahi to further develop their knowledge and understanding of effective assessment and programme evaluation practices. It is important for kaimahi to make stronger and more consistent links to planning and children’s progress over time. It is also difficult to monitor the effectiveness of the learning programme. Stronger assessment and evaluation practices will enhance children’s learning and development.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at the kōhanga reo systems for managing the following areas that have a potentially high impact on children's wellbeing:
All kōhanga reo are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements.
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Mihiwairua will be in three years.

He pēhea rawa te whakamahinga a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori, he pēhea rawa hoki tā rātou whakaatu i tō rātou aronga toi whenuatanga?

Ka rumakina ngā tamariki ki te reo Māori. He matatau ngā kaimahi ki te reo Māori, ā, ka whakamahi rātou i ngā rautaki reo hei whakatairanga ake i te ako a ngā tamariki.

Ka whakamahi rātou i te angamahi a te kōhanga reo, ngā kaupapa o ia tau, me ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā tamariki. Kei ngā mahere ngā whāinga ako e hono ana ki ngā kaupapa ako o ia wāhanga. Whakaemihia ai e ngā kaimahi ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki te ahu whakamua a ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki, ō rātou ngākau nuitanga, me ngā taumahi hoki i te kōhanga reo.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Mihiwairua is in Flaxmere Hastings. Children are well supported to develop te reo Māori and a sense of belonging. Children have positive relationships with their peers, kaimahi and whānau. Whānau focus on the quality of children’s learning when making decisions about the kōhanga reo.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Mihiwairua will be in three years.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Mihiwairua is in Flaxmere Hasting. It is one of three kōhanga reo that are linked to each other. The kaimahi have been trained in the other kōhanga reo and newly appointed in the last six months. Whānau support kōhanga reo management and operations.
Since the previous review kaimahi have made progress in the areas identified by ERO. Kaimahi and whānau are focused on improvement.
Children are developing confidence to use te reo Māori and have a sense of belonging.
Children are immersed in te reo Māori. Kaimahi are strong te reo Māori speakers and they use language strategies to enhance children’s learning. They introduce new words, use questions to prompt children’s thinking and model sentence structures. There is a focus on the formal learning programme to support children with practical language experiences. Children learn the value of mōteatea, mihi whakatau, karakia, and pepeha. Children are becoming confident speakers of te reo Māori.
Children develop positive relationships. Whanaungatanga is integral to the learning programme. Tuakana are encouraged to interact in a loving and supportive way with their teina. Kaimahi maintain the values of manaaki, tiaki and aroha in the daily programme. Children are happy and settled.
Children’s learning is supported. There are a range of learning resources available. Kaimahi have created learning areas that cater for diverse needs of tuakana and teina. These areas enable tuakana to make choices about their learning. Kaimahi attend to the individual care and needs of teina. Children are familiar with daily routines and expectations. Kaimahi understand that children’s individual needs are important. Children are happy.
Children’s learning programmes are well planned. Kaimahi follow clear processes for planning, assessment and programme evaluation. They use the kōhanga reo framework, annual events and children’s interests. Planning includes learning objectives linked to kaupapa ako each term. Kaimahi regularly gather information about children’s progress in learning, their individual interests and kōhanga activities. Information is shared with parents in reports and end of year interviews. Kaimahi regularly meet to reflect on children’s learning and discuss strategies to improve the programme. Children’s learning is a priority.
Internal evaluation is used well to identify areas of improvement. Whānau monitor their progress in meeting their strategic goals. They regularly review the charter. An action plan is in place to keep whānau focused on their goals. Regular reports are shared about kōhanga reo operations including health and safety and legislative requirements. Whānau focus on the quality of children’s learning when making decisions about the kōhanga reo.
Assessment practices are developing. Kaimahi gather a range of information about children and report to whānau. The quality of profiles are inconsistent as some children’s profiles are incomplete with limited annotations about what children are learning.
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 developed the following recommendation that whānau and kaimahi work with the district kaupapa kaimahi to improve the quality and consistency of assessment practices.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Mihiwairua is in Flaxmere Hastings. Children are well supported to develop te reo Māori and a sense of belonging. Children have positive relationships with their peers, kaimahi and whānau. Whānau focus on the quality of children’s learning when making decisions about the kōhanga reo.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Mihiwairua will be in three years.
