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 ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Toa Iwi Whenua ki Kaikohe, ki te Tai Tokerau. Haere ai ngā mokopuna o te takiwā whānui ki te kōhanga reo. He tino hononga tō te whānau ki te kura kaupapa Māori o te hapori. Ko tō te whānau wawata, kia ako ngā mokopuna i te mita o te kāinga.
Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna tō rātou harikoa, tō rātou mauritau hoki hei ākonga.
E poipoia ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao aroha. Ka whakapuakihia e ngā kaimahi te awhi, te manaaki, te tautoko, me te aroha, puta noa i te hōtaka o ia rā. He pai te aro atu a ngā mokopuna ki ngā taunekeneke a ngā kaimahi. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā tākaro, ā, ka whakamihi hoki i ngā whakamātau me ngā whakatutukitanga. Kei te tino mōhio rātou ki ngā mokopuna, ā, ka aro nui ki ō rātou matea. Ka whakaatu ngā tuākana i ngā pūmanawa o te ārahitanga i roto i ā rātou taunekeneke ki ngā tēina. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te ako i tō rātou tū hei tangata whenua. Kei te māramahia e rātou, ā, he tika hoki ā rātou mahi i a rātou e whakatau manuhiri ana. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki, pērā i ngā mihimihi, ngā pātai, te whāngai kupu, me ngā waiata hei hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā mokopuna. Ka whakapuaki ngā pēpi i tō rātou māramatanga ki te reo Māori mā te reo ā-tinana, ā, mā tā rātou tāwhai hoki i ngā kōrero a ngā kaimahi. He ngākau titikaha ō ngā tuākana ki te whakamahi i te reo e mōhiotia ana e rātou. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga ako ki ngā mokopuna, kia whakaaro pohewa ai rātou i a rātou e tūhura ana, e mahi auaha ana hoki. Ka tūmāia ngā mokopuna i roto i ā rātou akoranga.
E āta poipoia ana, e aroturukitia ana, e pūrongotia ana hoki ngā matea ako o ngā mokopuna. Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaimahi ki te whakawhanake i ngā mahere ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, ā-wiki hoki kia hāngai pū ai te whakapuakitanga o te hōtaka. E whai kiko ana ngā mahere, ā, he aronga o roto kia whakatinanahia ai e ngā kaimahi te hōtaka akoranga. Ka toro atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā mōhiohio o te mātai tamaiti hei tāutu i ngā akoranga me te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna. Hui ai rātou i ia te wā ki te whakawhiti kōrero, ki te arotake hoki i ā rātou whakaritenga e pā ana ki te hōtaka akoranga. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakamahere, o te aromatawai, o te aromātai hoki.
E whai wāhi mātātoa atu ana ngā mema o te whānau ki te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Kei te tūtohinga te ārahitanga me ngā tohutohu, hei hāpai i te whakahaeretanga o te whānau i ā rātou whakaritenga. He mārama ngā tūmanako e pā ana ki ngā whakataunga, ngā kawenga i tohaina ai, me te kawenga takohanga. Tū ai ngā hui ā-whānau i ia te wā, ā, he pai te taetae atu. Kua whakatakotohia ngā pūnaha e pā ana ki te hauora, te haumaru, me te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi. Kua oti te arohaehae kaimahi, ā, he aronga pūmau ki te whakawhanaketanga ngaio. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere me ngā whakaritenga a te whānau.
Ahakoa kua tautuhia e te whānau ā rātou whāinga me ō rātou wawata ki te mahere rautaki, he mea nui kia tuhi, kia aroturuki hoki te whānau i te ahu whakamua ki te whakatutuki i ō rātou wawata. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna mā te aronga pū ki te aroturuki i te āhua tonu o ngā mahi ki te whakatutuki haere i ngā whāinga a te whānau.
Kāhore anō ngā akoako rū whenua kia whakatutukihia, kāhore anō rānei kia tuhia. Me āta whakarite te whānau i te whakatutukitanga me te tuhi haere o ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki ngā akoako hōneatanga rū whenua, kia kore ai te haumaru o ngā mokopuna e whakamōreareatia ana.
Mātua rā, ina ka puta ngā mokopuna i te kōhanga reo haereere ai, me whakatutuki te arowhai me te whakahaeretanga o ngā āhuatanga mōrearea, me whai whakaaturanga e tohu ai i te whakaae mai a ngā mātua, ā, me tuhi hoki i te whakaae mai a te whānau ki te tatauranga ki waenga i ngā kaimahi me ngā mokopuna. He mahi tēnei hei whakatau i te noho haumaru o ngā mokopuna.
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, kia:

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 Iwi Toa Whenua is situated in Kaikohe, in Northland. Mokopuna from the local area attend the kōhanga reo. The whānau have a close association with the local kura kaupapa. Whānau aspire for mokopuna to learn te mita o te kainga.
Mokopuna demonstrate they are happy and settled learners.
Mokopuna are nurtured in a loving environment. Kaimahi model awhi, manaaki, tautoko and aroha throughout the daily programme. Mokopuna respond positively to kaimahi interactions. Kaimahi support mokopuna to participate in play and praise efforts and achievements. They know their mokopuna well and are responsive to their needs. Tuakana display leadership qualities in their interactions with tēina. Mokopuna have opportunities to learn about their role as tangata whenua. They understand and behave appropriately when welcoming manuhiri. Kaimahi use a variety of strategies such as mihimihi, questions, prompts and waiata to support mokopuna language development. Pēpi express their understanding of te reo Māori through body language and mimicking kaimahi. Tuakana are confident to use what they know. Kaimahi provide mokopuna with learning opportunities to use their imagination as they explore and be creative. Mokopuna are secure in their learning.
Mokopuna learning needs are well catered for, monitored, and reported. Kaimahi work collaboratively to develop annual, term and weekly plans to guide a focused programme delivery. The plans are detailed and provide direction for kaimahi to implement the learning programme. Kaimahi use matai tamaiti information to identify mokopuna learning and progress. They meet regularly to discuss and review their practices of the learning programme. Mokopuna are at the centre of planning, assessment, and evaluation.
Whānau members actively participate in the management of the kōhanga reo. The tūtohinga provides guidance and direction for the whānau to manage their operations. There are clear expectations for decision making, delegated responsibilities, and accountability. Whānau hui are regular and well attended. Health, safety, and personnel management systems are in place. Appraisals for kaimahi are complete with an ongoing focus of professional development. Mokopuna are at the centre of whānau management and operations.
While whānau have identified their goals and aspirations in their strategic plan, it’s important that whānau record and monitor progress in relation to their aspirations. Mokopuna will benefit from a sound approach to monitoring how well whānau goals are being achieved.
Earthquake drills have not been carried out or documented. Whānau must ensure all requirements for earthquake evacuation drills are carried out and recorded so that mokopuna safety is not compromised.
It’s essential that when mokopuna leave the premises on an excursion, an assessment and management of risk is undertaken and evidence of parental permission and approval of whānau to mokopuna ratios is documented. This is to ensure mokopuna safety is paramount.
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:

Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Toa Iwi Whenua is on the outskirts of Kaikohe. Whānau are new to kōhanga reo. There is a focussed approach to strengthening the kaupapa. A kuia who has experience and knowledge guides whānau to support children’s learning.
Children demonstrate confidence in a range of situations.
Children are emotionally and physically confident. They manage care for eating and sleeping according to their needs. Kaimahi have established routines to guide them to work with children to care for the kōhanga reo. Children are encouraged to interact positively as tuakana, teina as they move between the indoor and outdoor environments. They model behaviours of aroha and manaaki with kaimahi, peers and whānau. Kaimahi provide children with stimulating and exciting activities using a range of learning resources. Children are engaged and motivated learners.
Children learn in a te reo Māori language environment. Kaimahi use a range of strategies to support children’s language development. Individuals mimic words, phrases and sentences to convey messages. Children are supported to lead karakia, mihimihi, their pepeha and waiata as an integral part of developing te reo Māori. Babies use body language and hand gestures to communicate their understanding. Children are developing as speakers of te reo Māori.
Children’s learning programmes are planned and organised. Kaiako work collaboratively with the whānau to design the learning programme based on children’s interests. They use observations, planned learning objectives and whānau discussions to monitor children’s development. Kaiako use their knowledge about individuals to cater for their needs. Children’s progress in learning is monitored.
Children’s learning programmes are evaluated. Kaimahi use reflection and discussions evaluate the quality of delivery. They identify what went well and areas for improvement focussed on meeting children’s needs. Kaimahi encourage whānau to contribute ideas and suggestions to enhance the learning outcomes for children. Children enjoy quality learning programmes.
Whānau have a charter to guide kōhanga reo management practices. Policies and procedures provide clear expectations for daily operations. Personnel expectations are in place. Kaimahi are aware of their collective and individual responsibilities. A draft strategic plan show clear links to the whānau vision, aspirations and forward direction. Whānau regularly discuss the progress to finalise the strategic plan. A comprehensive annual plan assists whānau to monitor all areas of operation.
Internal evaluation processes are in place. Regular reports are shared at hui-ā-whānau. A review schedule helps whānau to keep policies and procedures up to date. Whānau regularly review their operational performance. Children benefit from the improvement focus.
Whānau internal evaluation is developing. It is not clear how the draft strategic plan is informed by internal evaluation. Assistance to strengthen whānau practices and increase understanding about these links can help to improve outcomes 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 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 recommendation, that whānau increase their knowledge about internal evaluation to progress forward planning based on outcomes for children.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Toa Iwi Whenua will be in three years.
