View on mapKua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, me ngā hapori ki te whakatakoto i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i ngā whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai.
E tū pā tata ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Kāwai ki te kura o Corinna, ki te hapori o Cannon’s Creek, ki Porirua. He hou te nuinga o ngā whānau ki te kōhanga reo. He hononga ō ngā whānau ki te marae o Horouta me te purapura o te rohe. Ko tō te whānau wawata, kia ako ngā mokopuna i te reo Māori.
E whakawhanake ana ngā mokopuna i tō rātou māramatanga ki te reo Māori.
E rumakina ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao reo Māori. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki e tika ana ki te hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā mokopuna. Ko ētahi o aua rautaki, ko ngā tohutohu, ngā mihimihi, te patapatai, me ngā waiata. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i ngā uara o te aroha me te manaaki. He ngāwari ō rātou āhua i a rātou e mahi ana ki te taha o ngā mokopuna, ā, he ngāwari, he atawhai hoki ā rātou whakawhitinga kōrero. Ahakoa ka whakamahi ngā tuākana i te reo Pākehā i ētahi wā, ka ū tonu ngā kaimahi ki te whakapuaki i ngā tauira reo hei akiaki i ngā mokopuna ki te whakamahi kē i te reo Māori. Ka ako ngā mokopuna i te hanganga me te pūtake o te reo mā ngā karakia me ngā pepeha. Ka whakaatu mai ngā pēpi i tō rātou māramatanga mā te reo ā-tinana, mā te korikori, mā ō rātou kanohi, ā, mā te kūnanunanu hoki. E whanake ana ngā mokopuna ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
Me titiro wawe ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo. Me whakatakoto tētahi tukanga mō te aromātai o roto. I tēnei wā, kāhore he pūnaha ki te aroturuki me te aromātai i ngā whakapaitanga.
Me titiro ki te whakamahere hōtaka, te aromātai hōtaka, me te aromatawai i ngā mokopuna. Kāhore e āta kitea ana te hononga o te aromātai hōtaka me ngā aromatawai ki ngā mahere o te hōtaka. Ahakoa he tauira o ngā whakaritenga papai, tērā anō ētahi atu mahi hei whakapakari ake i te māramatanga o ngā kaimahi ki ngā hononga ki waenga i ngā mahere, ngā aromatawai, me te aromātai. Kua tae ki te wā kia toro atu te whānau ki te tautoko e tika ana mō ngā kaimahi, hei whakapakari ake i ō rātou pūkenga me ō rātou āheinga ki te whakapuaki i tētahi hōtaka e whai hua ai mā ngā mokopuna.
Ahakoa kua whakaratohia e te tari ā-rohe ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga, kāhore anō te whānau kia whakamana i aua tuhinga. Me whai whakaaro te whānau ki ngā tukanga mō te arotake i ā rātou kaupapa here me ā rātou tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. Tē taea te hauora me te waiora o ngā mokopuna te whakatūturu.
Kāhore he mahere ā-tau. Kāhore ngā mahi matua o te tari e āta aroturukitia ana, e whakatutukihia ana rānei i roto i te wā e tika ana. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā e aroturukitia ana ngā mahi whakahaere.
Me titiro ki ngā take kaimahi. Ahakoa he tuhinga tūranga mahi, he kirimana mahi hoki ā ngā kaimahi, ahakoa kua whakatutukihia hoki te arowhai i te haumaru o ngā kaimahi, kāhore anō kia whakatutukihia ngā arohaehae. Ka whakatairangatia ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi mā te haere tonutanga o ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te arohaehae me te whakawhanaketanga ngaio.
He wawata ō te whānau mō te pae tawhiti o te kōhanga reo. Kāhore anō rātou kia whakawhanakehia tētahi mahere rautaki hei hāpai i te whakatutukitanga o ā rātou whāinga. Kua tae ki te wā kia whakaōkawa te whānau i ā rātou kaupapa matua o te pae tawhiti hei mahere rautaki. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā e whai pānga nuitia ana ō rātou matea mō anamata.
I te wā o te aromātai, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei:
Hei whakatutuki i ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri te whānau ki te:
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā:

The Education Review Office, whānau, leaders and communities have collaborated to provide evaluation insights that foster improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Kāwai is located adjacent to Corinna School in Cannon’s Creek, Porirua. Whānau are mostly new to the kōhanga reo. Whānau have connections to Horouta Marae and the local Purapura. Whānau aspire for the mokopuna to learn te reo Māori.
Mokopuna are developing their understanding of te reo Māori.
Mokopuna are immersed in a te reo Māori environment. Kaimahi use appropriate strategies to support mokopuna language development. These include tohutohu, greetings, questioning and waiata. Kaimahi model values of aroha and manaaki. They work with mokopuna in a calm manner and their communication with mokopuna is gentle and affectionate. While tuakana use English at times, kaimahi consistently provide language examples to encourage mokopuna use of te reo Māori. Mokopuna learn about structure and purpose of language through karakia and pepehā. Pēpi show their understanding using body language, movement, facial expressions and babbling. Mokopuna are developing as emergent speakers of te reo Māori.
The management of the kōhanga reo operations requires urgent attention. A process of internal evaluation needs to be established. Currently there is no systems in place to monitor and evaluate improvements.
Programme planning, programme evaluation and mokopuna assessment requires attention. It’s not clear how programme evaluation and mokopuna assessment is linked to programme planning. While there are some examples of good practice, there is more work to be done to strengthen kaimahi understanding of the links between planning, assessment, and evaluation. It’s time for whānau to seek support for kaimahi to build their capability and capacity to deliver an effective programme for the mokopuna.
While policies and procedures have been provided by the district office, the whānau have not ratified them. Whānau should consider processes to review their health and safety policies and procedures. Mokopuna health and wellbeing cannot be guaranteed.
There is no annual plan in place. Key administrative tasks are not monitored or attended to in a timely manner. Mokopuna benefit when operational matters are monitored.
Personnel matters require attention. While kaimahi have job descriptions, employment contracts, and kaimahi safety checks completed, appraisals have not been carried out. Kaimahi practice would be enhanced through ongoing appraisals and professional development.
The whanau have aspirations for the future of the kōhanga reo. They have not developed a strategic plan to support the achievement of their goals. It is time for whānau to formalise their long-term priorities into a strategic plan. Mokopuna benefit when their future needs are considered.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
To meet compliance requirements, they must:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Kāwai ki Porirua. E kawe tonu ana ngā whānau me ngā kaimahi o tēnei wā, i ngā whakarerenga iho a ō rātou tūpuna, arā, ‘kia eke angitu mā ngā whānau o Ngā Kāwai.’ Ko te eke angitu o ngā tamariki i roto i te reo Māori tētahi kaupapa matua ki te whānau. Kua whakahono atu te whānau ki te kura o te hapori me te marae o Horouta.
Ka kitea te tino whanaungatanga o ngā tamariki i roto i ā rātou taunekeneke ki ō rātou hoa, ngā kaimahi, me te whānau.
E rumakina ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao o te reo Māori. Ka rongo, ka whakamahi hoki ngā tamariki i te reo Māori ki ngā horopaki ōpaki me ngā horopaki ōkawa. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki ako papai e hāpai ana i te whakawhanaketanga o te reo Māori, tae atu ki te tāruarua me te whakatauira. Ka taki, ka whakapuaki hoki ngā tamariki i ō rātou pepeha ki te taha o ngā tuākana, ngā tēina, me te whānau. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki ngā waiata me ngā kēmu, puta noa i te rā. Ka ako rātou i te reo me ngā tikanga o te whakatau me te pōwhiri. E whanake ana te pihipihi mai o te ako o ngā tamariki mā te reo Māori.
Ka rongo ngā tamariki i ngā taunekeneke papai ki te taha o ētahi atu. Ka ako tētahi ki tētahi, hei tuakana, hei teina. Ka ako ngā tamariki i te whai huatanga nui o te whakaute, me te manaaki i ētahi atu. Ka rongo rātou i te awhi, te tautoko, te aroha, me te koa o ngā kaimahi. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i te whai wāhi atu a ngā pēpi ki ngā tākaro. He maha ngā wā ka whakanui rātou i ngā whakamātau me ngā whakatutukitanga o ngā tamariki. He tokomaha anō hoki ngā mema o te whānau kua roa nei e whai wāhi atu ai ki te kōhanga reo. Kua hoki mai ētahi ki Ngā Kāwai ki te noho tahi, ki te mahi tūao, me te taetae atu ki ngā tino huihuinga, kaupapa anō hoki o te kōhanga reo. He tino hononga whai pūtake tō ngā tamariki ki aua tāngata. He pakari ngā tamariki, ā, ka noho whakaute anō hoki ki ētahi atu.
Ka kitea te tūmāia o ngā tamariki ki tō rātou taiao me te ao Māori. Ka tuku mihi rātou ki ngā atua i a rātou e tākaro ana i waho. Ka whai wāhi nui ngā tamariki ki ngā wāhi tākaro o roto, o waho hoki. Kua tino waia rātou ki ngā mahinga. E wātea ana ki ngā tamariki ngā rauemi moroki me ngā wāhi ako moroki, ā, ka ako rātou ki te hīraurau hopanga mā te mahi auaha me te whakaaro pohewa. E āhei ana rātou ki te whakatau i ā rātou ake whiringa, me te kawe ake i ā rātou ake akoranga. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki te tūhura i tō rātou taiao. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki ngā whai wāhitanga ki te uru atu ki ngā kaupapa hou me te whakamātau i a rātou anō ki te taha o ō rātou hoa.
Kua āta whakamaheretia, kua āta whakaritea e ngā kaimahi te aronga ki ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Kei te whai kiko ngā mahere, ā, kua whakahonohonotia. He mārama ngā hononga ki Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira me Te Whāriki. Ka whakapuaki ngā mema o te whānau i ō rātou whakaaro e pā ana ki ngā mahere. Kei te tino mōhio ngā kaimahi ki ā rātou tamariki. Ka aro rātou ki ō rātou matea me ō rātou ngākau nuitanga, ā, e āhei ana hoki rātou ki te whakapuaki i ngā mahere e whai pānga ana ki ia tamaiti, ā, ki ngā rōpū tamariki hoki. E whakanui ana ngā pūkete a ngā tamariki i ā rātou akoranga me tō rātou tupu. Ka whakapuakihia ngā mōhiohio aromatawai ki te taha o ngā whānau. Ka mahi ngātahi ngā whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te whakaaro huritao ki te whai huatanga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ko te ako a ngā tamariki tētahi aronga matua.
He pai te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. E tāutuhia ana ki te tūtohinga, ko te whānau, ko te reo me ngā tikanga Māori hoki ngā uaratanga matua o te kōhanga reo. E hāngai pū ana ngā kaupapa here ki a Ngā Kāwai, ā, ka whakahoungia hoki i ia te wā. Ka mahi ngātahi te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te whakarato i tētahi tukanga pakari o te aromātai o roto, me te kounga o tētahi taiao ako mō ngā tamariki. Kua āta whakaritea ngā kaupapa here o te haumaru me te hauora, ā, e hāngai ana hoki ki tēnei wā. Ka kōkirihia e ngā kaimahi te whakahaeretanga kaimahi, ā, e arahina ana e te whānau e tautoko mai ana. Kua āta whakaraupapahia ki te mahere rautaki o te kōhanga reo ngā tūranga o te whānau me ā rātou kawenga mahi. He tokomaha ngā mema o te whānau ka māia haere, ka whakawhanake haere hoki i tō rātou reo Māori mā ngā kaupapa whakangungu a te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo. Ka rongo ngā tamariki i te whakaute ki te whakawhanaungatanga e āta whakapuakihia ana ki te taiao o te kōhanga reo.
Kāhore ngā kaimahi e tuhi ana i ō rātou whakaaro huritao mō te hōtaka akoranga. Kāhore he kitenga ōkawa e tohu ana i te whai huatanga o te hōtaka akoranga mā ngā tamariki. Kāhore ngā tamariki e whiwhi ana i ngā painga o tētahi hōtaka e tāutu ana i tēnā i whai hua ai, me tēnā anō hoki hei whakapai ake.
Kāhore he Tohu Whakapakari ki ngā kaimahi. E ai ki te whānau, ka akiaki tonu, ka hāpai tonu rātou i ngā kaimahi ki te kōkiri ake i ā rātou whakangungu ki raro i te maru o te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, kia tutukihia ai te Tohu Whakapakari.
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 te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Kāwai i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kohanga Reo o Ngā Kāwai is in Porirua. Current whānau and kaimahi are continuing the legacy of their tūpuna ‘to achieve excellence through whānau o Ngā Kāwai’. Children’s success in te reo Māori is a priority for whānau. Whānau have established connections with the local kura and Horouta Marae.
Children show a strong sense of whanaungatanga in their interactions with their peers, kaimahi and whanau.
Children are immersed in a te reo Maori environment. Children hear and use te reo Māori in informal and formal settings. Kaimahi use effective learning strategies to support te reo Māori development including repetition and modelling. Children recite their pepeha and share with tuākana, tēina and whānau. Children enjoy waiata and games throughout the day. They learn the language and tikanga of whakatau and pōwhiri. Children are developing as early learners of Te reo Māori.
Children experience positive interactions with others. They learn from each other as tuakana teina. Children learn that respect and care for others is valued. They experience awhi, tautoko, aroha and koa from kaimahi . Kaimahi support pēpi to participate in play. They often praise children’s efforts and achievements. There are many long standing whānau members in the kōhanga reo. Some have returned to Ngā Kāwai to visit, to volunteer support and attend special events or kaupapa of the kōhanga reo. Children have established meaningful relationships with these people. Children are confident and respectful towards each other.
Children show confidence in their environment and te ao Māori. They greet atua as they play outdoors. Children enjoy spacious indoor and outdoor play areas. They are very familiar with routines. Children have access to modern resources and learning areas where they learn to problem solve through creativity and imagination. They are able to make their own choices and to take responsibility for their learning. Kaimahi support children to explore their environment. Children enjoy opportunities to try new things and take risks with their peers.
Kaimahi have a well-planned and organised approach to children’s learning. Planning is detailed and cohesive. There are clear links to Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira and Te Whāriki. Whānau members contribute their thoughts and ideas to planning. Kaimahi know their children well. They respond to their needs and interests and are able to articulate planning for individuals and groups. Children’s profile books celebrate children’s learning and growth. Assessment information is shared with whānau. Whānau and kaimahi work together to reflect on the effectiveness of the learning programme. Children’s learning is a priority.
The kōhanga reo is well managed. The charter identifies that whānau, te reo and tikanga Māori are the core kōhanga reo values. Policies are authentic to Ngā Kāwai and are regularly updated. Whānau and kaimahi work alongside each other to provide a robust internal evaluation process and a quality learning environment for children. Health and safety policies are current and in place. Personnel management is kaimahi led guided by whānau support. The kōhanga reo strategic plan clearly prioritises whānau roles and responsibilities. Many whānau members grow their confidence and development in te reo Māori through Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust(TKRNT) training courses. Children experience respectful relationships in a well managed kōhanga reo environment.
Kaimahi do not document their reflections on the learning programme. There is no formal evidence to show the effectiveness of the learning programme for children. Children do not benefit from a programme that identifies what went well and what can be improved.
There are no Te Whakapakari tohu holders among kaimahi. Whānau acknowledge that they will continue to encourage and support kaimahi to further their TKRNT training towards the completion of Whakapakari.
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.
ensure all hazard checking, recording and reporting requirements are upheld for the safety of children
[R46 Education(Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, HS12 Licensing criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
adults providing education and care are familiar with relevant emergency drills and regularly carry these out with the children and ensure they have correct supporting documentation.
[R46 Education(Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, HS8 Licensing criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
Strengthen evaluation practice
Whānau to continue to build capability and sustainability of kaimahi.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Kāwai will be in three years.
