View on mapE tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Rangaunu ki Awanui, ki te taha o te marae o Waimanoni. He hononga ā-whakapapa tō te nuinga o te whānau, ā, nō Ngāi Takoto rātou. E ai ki ngā mema o te whānau, kua roa nei ō rātou whānau e whai wāhi atu ana ki tēnei kōhanga reo. E wawata ngātahi ana rātou kia tūtū ā rātou tamariki ki tō rātou marae ā tōna wā.
Ka ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki te tūhura haere i ngā hononga i te taiao whānui o tō rātou kōhanga reo, ki te taha hoki o tō rātou whānau.
Ka riro i ngā tamariki ngā whai wāhitanga ki te āta whakapuaki i te reo Māori. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te reo Māori, ka patapatai hoki hei whakawhānui ake i ngā whakaaro o ngā tamariki, ka toro atu ki te reo ā-tinana, ā, ka whakapuaki hoki i ngā kīanga māmā e mōhiotia ana e ngā tamariki. Ka tāwhai ngā pēpi i ngā kupu, ā, ka whai wāhi atu ngā tuākana ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero mā te reo Māori. Ka whakatauirahia e ngā kaumātua te hōhonutanga o ngā kōrerorero. E whanake ana te mōhiotanga o ngā tamariki ki te reo Māori.
E rangona ana e ngā tamariki te manaakitanga o ngā taunekeneke e aro nui ana ki a rātou. E ai ki te whānau ka ngākau nui ā rātou tamariki ki te haere ki te kōhanga reo. Ka whakapuakihia e ngā kaimahi te manaakitanga ki te tangata i roto i ā rātou taunekeneke katoa. He ngāwari ō rātou reo kōrero ki ngā tamariki, ka poipoi rātou i ngā tamariki i ngā wā e tika ana, ā, ka tākaro hoki ki tō rātou taha. Ka aro nui ngā tamariki ki aua tūmomo rautaki. Ka whakapuaki ngā tamariki i te aroha me te manaakitanga ki waenga i a rātou anō. Ka ako ngā tamariki i ngā tikanga e whai wāhi atu ai ki te hāpai i te rangimārie me te wairua whakaute ki tō rātou wāhi. Kei te mauritau ngā tamariki ki te taiao o tō rātou kōhanga reo.
Ka whakaako te whānau i ngā waiata o Ngāi Takoto ki ngā tamariki. Ka kitea te ngākau titikaha me te tākare o ngā tamariki i a rātou e tū ana ki te waiata. Ka waiata rātou i Te Iti Pioke, ā, ka mahi i ngā mahi ā-ringa, ka pūkana, ka whatiwhati hope, ā, ka tū pakari ki te haka. Ka tae atu, ka whai wāhi nui hoki te whānau ki ngā kaupapa i te marae o Waimanoni. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki te taha o ō rātou whānau ki ngā huihuinga i te marae, tae atu ki ngā tangihanga. E tupu haere ana te mōhiotanga o ngā tamariki ki tō rātou whānau whānui, te marae, me te taiao whānui tonu o tō rātou iwi. Ka tū pakari ngā tamariki hei tangata whenua.
Ka tūhura ngā tamariki i tō rātou taiao. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te haereere i tō rātou kōhanga reo. Ka tākaro rātou ki roto, ā, ki waho hoki. Ka whiriwhiri ngā tamariki i ā rātou ake kaupapa tākaro. Ka toro atu te whānau ki ngā mātanga o te hapori hei hāpai i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Ko ētahi o aua mātanga ko ngā ratonga o waho e whakaako ana i ngā kēmu hākinakina, i ngā kai hauora me ngā inu hauora ki ngā tamariki. Kua waihangatia ngā akoranga ōkawa kia ako ai ngā tamariki i ngā atua Māori. Ka whakahonohono ngā kaimahi i ngā akoranga katoa ki ngā atua Māori me te ao Māori. Ka ako ngā tamariki i ngā whakapapa, ngā karakia, ngā mahi me ngā tikanga e whai pānga ana ki ia atua. Ka tūhonohono rātou ki tō rātou ao, ā, ki te ao Māori hoki. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou ngākau nui ki ā rātou akoranga.
He pakari te whānau ki te whakatau i ngā whakaritenga. Taetae atu ai rātou ki ngā hui i ia te wā. Ka whakawhārikihia ngā pūrongo ā-tuhi nei ki ngā hui o ia marama. Ko ētahi o aua pūrongo, ko ērā a te kaiako, te heamana, me te kaiwhakahaere tari. E whai kiko ana ngā pūrongo, heoi anō rā, he tūāpapa ēnei mā te whānau i roto i ā rātou mahi whakataunga. Ka whai wāhi atu hoki te whānau ki te kōhanga reo mā ngā mahi ohu me te whānau awhi. Ka ngākau nui rātou ki te hāpai i ngā akoranga a ā rātou tamariki.
Kua tāutuhia e te whānau ā rātou ake whakaritenga matua hei whai ake ki te whakatairanga ake i ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau. Ko ētahi o aua whakaritenga e pā ana ki te arotakenga o te tūtohinga, ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga, me te whakamahere hoki i ngā whāinga ake i roto i tā rātou mahere rautaki. Ahakoa kua tīmata te whānau i te huringa taiāwhio arohaehae, kāhore anō kia whakatutukihia. Kāhore ngā kaimahi e āta tautokona ana kia pakari ake ai ā rātou whakaritenga, otirā, hei whakatairanga ake i ngā tino putanga ki ngā tamariki.
Kāhore ngā akoako hōneatanga ohorere e whakangungutia ana i ia te wā. E tika ana, kia āta whakataungia e te whānau te noho haumaru o ngā tamariki me ngā kaimahi ina ka pupū ake tētahi āhuatanga ohorere. Me whakatutuki, me tuhi hoki i ngā akoako hōneatanga me ngā tukanga hōneatanga i ia toru marama.
Ahakoa he mahere mā ngā tamariki tuākana, he iti noa ngā mahere me ngā rauemi e hāngai pū ana ki ngā pēpi me ngā tēina. E tika ana, kia tāutuhia ngā taumahi me ngā akoranga o ngā reanga katoa, hei āta whakatakoto haere i te kiko o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki katoa.
Kua tāutuhia e ngā kaimahi ko te aromatawai me te aromātai ētahi āhuatanga hei whakapai ake. Tērā ētahi tauira papai o ngā pūkete e whakaatu ana i tēnā e ākona ana e ngā tamariki. Kāhore e pēnei ana te āhua mā ngā rōpū reanga katoa. Me mārama ngātahi ki te āhua o te aromatawai i te kōhanga reo.
Ka whakawhiti kōrero ngā kaimahi i ngā hui ā-kaimahi, mō te whakamahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai. Ahakoa ka kōrero ngā kaimahi i ngā huarahi ka whakapai ake i te hōtaka akoranga, he hiahia tō rātou ki te āta whakatakoto i tētahi aromātai hōtaka pakari hei huringa taiāwhio. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki mā te auau o te aromātai hōtaka e āta whakahāngaitia ai.
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 āta whakarite rātou i:
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 Rangaunu i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Rangaunu is in Awanui, next to Waimanoni marae. Most whānau share whakapapa connections to each other and Ngai Takoto. Whānau members declare a long history of their whānau attending the kōhanga reo. They also share aspirations for their children to fill key roles at their marae.
Children enjoy exploring connections in their kōhanga reo environment alongside their whānau.
Children experience opportunities to use te reo Māori. Kaimahi use te reo Māori, ask questions to extend children’s thinking, use body language and simple and familiar phrases with children. Babies mimic words and tuakana contribute to conversations in te reo Māori. Kaumatua provide formal examples of spoken language. Children are developing an awareness of te reo Māori.
Children experience caring and responsive interactions. Whānau confirm their children love to go to kōhanga reo. Kaimahi use manaaki ki te tangata in all interactions. They speak to children in gentle tones, they attend to children when they need, and they play with them. Children respond well to these strategies. They express aroha and manaaki to each other. Tikanga that children learn helps to maintain an environment that is peaceful and respectful. Children are settled in their kōhanga reo environment.
Whānau teach their children waiata of Ngai Takoto. Children show confidence and enthusiasm when expressing themselves through waiata. They sing Te iti Pioke with actions, pūkana, swinging hips and proud haka stances. Whānau attend and contribute to kaupapa at Waimanoni marae. Children participate alongside their whānau at the marae events, including tangihanga. Children are developing a greater awareness about the wider whānau, marae and iwi environment. Children show confidence in their role as tangata whenua.
Children explore their environment. Kaimahi provide opportunities for children to move freely around the kōhanga reo. They play inside or outside. Children choose their activity for play. Whānau engage community specialists to support children’s learning. This includes external providers that teach children about hākinakina games and healthy kai and drinks. Formal learning is designed to teach children about ngā atua Māori. Kaimahi relate all learning to atua Māori and te ao Māori. Children learn whakapapa, karakia, mahi and tikanga for each atua. They make connections to their world and te ao Māori. Children show they enjoy their learning.
Whānau are decision makers. They attend regular hui. Written reports are tabled at monthly hui. These include kaiako, chairman and administration. The detailed reporting gives whānau the foundations to make informed decisions. Whānau also contribute to the kōhanga reo at working bees and whānau āwhi. They enjoy being able to support their children’s learning.
The whānau has identified key next steps for themselves that will enhance whanau whakahaere. These include the review of the tūtohinga, policies and procedures and planning for specific goals in their strategic plan. Although whānau have begun the appraisal cycle, this is incomplete. Kaimahi are not well supported to strengthen their practise and promote positive outcomes for children.
Emergency evacuation drills are not regularly practiced. There is a need for whānau to ensure the safety of children and kaimahi during any possible emergency. Regular evacuation drills and procedures need to be practiced and recorded every three months.
Whilst planning is in place for the older children, there is limited planning or provision for babies and teina. There is a need to identify activities and learning for all age groups to provide detail for children’s learning.
Kaimahi have identified assessment and evaluation as areas of improvement. There are examples of well-presented profile books that show what children are learning. This is not the same for all age groups. A shared understanding of what assessment will look like in the kōhanga reo is needed.
Kaimahi discuss planning, assessment and evaluation at staff hui. Although kaimahi talk about ways to improve the learning programme they want to embed a more robust, regular cycle of programme evaluation. Children will benefit from focused, regular programme evaluation.
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 recommendations:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Rangaunu will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Rangaunu kei te tāone o Rangaunu. He tau, he pakari hoki ngā tamariki ki te taiao o tō rātou kōhanga reo, ā, ka tūhura, ka whakahura haere rātou mā te reo Māori ki te taha o tō rātou whānau. E tino tautokona ana te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Rangaunu i roto i te toru o ngā tau.
‘He iti marangai, tū ana te pāhukahuka He iti pioke nō Rangaunu He au tōna’
E tū pā tata ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Rangaunu ki te marae o Waimanoni, i Rangaunu. Ka tuku ngā whānau i Kaitāia i ā rātou tamariki ki tēnei kōhanga reo, ki te ako i te reo, ngā kōrero tuku iho, me ngā tikanga o tō rātou hapū me tō rātou iwi. Kua roa nei te kuia e tū ana hei kaiako ki tēnei kōhanga reo, ā, ka hāpai ia i te ako a ngā tamariki me te whānau i te reo Māori.
E tupu haere ana te tūmāia o ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou ake whakaaro mā te reo Māori.
Ka tūhura ngā tamariki i te reo Māori mā ngā huarahi ngahau, ngā huarahi pupuri mahara hoki. Ka whakamahia ngā rauemi ataata, ngā rauemi whānui, ngā kēmu, me ngā waiata kia whakatairanga i te ako me te tūhura a ngā tamariki i te reo. He pakari ngā tamariki tuākana ki te whakawhiti kōrero mā te reo Māori ki ngā pākeke. Ka whai wāhi ngā tamariki ki ngā taumahi me ngā wheako e whakapūmau ana i te mita, ngā hītori, me ngā whakapapa o tēnei takiwā. E mōhio ana ngā tamariki ki te āhua o te reo Māori e whakamahia ana ki ngā tūmomo horopaki. Ka whakatairanga, ka whakatinana hoki ngā kaimahi i ngā tikanga tuku iho o te rohe hei whakatairanga ake i te ako i te reo Māori. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki te ako ki te kōhanga reo.
Ka kitea te tupu haere o te mōhio me te whakaute o ngā tamariki mō tō rātou taiao tūturu, māoriori hoki. He pai ki a rātou ngā whakawhitinga kōrero i ia te wā ki te taha o te whānau, mō ngā atua Māori me tō rātou tūnga ki te ao Māori me te ao whānui. Ka whai wāhi atu, ka ārahi hoki ngā tamariki i ngā karakia mō ngā tūmomo horopaki. Ka whakapūmautia ngā tikanga ki ngā mahinga o ia rā, ngā kaupapa mahi, me ngā haerenga i ia te wā ki te marae. He tau ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo.
Ka rongo ngā tamariki i ngā uaratanga o te manaaki, te aroha, me te whanaungatanga. Ka kite rātou i te whānau e āta mihia ana i tā rātou taenga mai ki te kōhanga reo. He pai te tiaki, te whakariterite, me te whakatakotoranga o te kōhanga reo, hei whakatutuki i ngā ngākaunuitanga o ngā tamariki. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i te whakaute i a rātou e taunekeneke ana ki ētahi atu. E whai pūtake ana ngā taunekeneke me ngā hononga o ngā tamariki ki ō rātou hoa me ngā pākeke. He mārama ki ngā tamariki tuākana tō rātou tū hei tuākana mō ngā pēpi, ā, ka atawhaitia. Whakanuia ai ia tamaiti mō āna whakamātau me āna whakatutukitanga i ia te wā. Ka noho matua hoki te waiora o ngā tamariki.
Ka whai wāhi ngā tamariki ki ngā hōtaka akoranga i āta whakamaheretia ai. Ka tūhura rātou i te ao Māori mā ngā huarahi e whakahihiri ana, e whakawero ana, ā, e whakaongaonga ana hoki i ō rātou whakaaro me ō rātou pūkenga reo. Ka whakarerekē haere ngā kaimahi i te reo me ngā akoranga, kia hāngai ake ai ēnei ki ngā tūmomo rōpū reanga, me te rerekē haere o ngā ngākaunuitanga me ngā matea o ngā tamariki. He pakari te whakaaro huritao ki ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi, ā, e kōkiri ana tēnei i te kaha whakahāngaitanga, i te aronga nui hoki o te hōtaka mō ngā tamariki. Ka whai hua ngā mahi a te kuia me ngā kaimahi ki te āta aroturuki, ki te pūrongo hoki i te whai pānga o ngā hōtaka, ngā ratonga, me ngā whakaritenga ki te whakawhanaketanga i te katoa o te tamaiti, me ngā putanga akoranga mō ngā tamariki katoa. Kua āta whakawhanakehia ngā Mātai mokopuna. Kei ngā mātua ngā tino pārongo mō te huarahi ako reo o ā rātou tamariki, me ā rātou wheako hoki, puta noa i Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā tētahi hōtaka e poipoi ana i ō rātou matea.
He pai te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo mō ngā tamariki. Kua roa nei te kuia e tū ana hei kaiako, ā, ka ārahi ia i te ako a te whānau i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Tū ai ngā hui ā-whānau i ia te wā, ā, ka kitea te aronga ngātahi e hāpai ana i te whai wāhi a te whānau ki ngā whakataunga e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga. Ka whai kiko ngā pūrongo e whakamārama ana i te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki i roto i te reo Māori. E whakarato ana ēnei pūrongo i ngā pārongo whai hua ki te whānau e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o Te Whāriki, ki te tautoko anō hoki i te tupu o ngā tamariki hei ākonga. Ko ngā tamariki kei te pūtake o ngā whakataunga ki te kōhanga reo.
E ai ki te whānau, ka whakauru rātou i ā rātou tamariki ki tēnei kōhanga reo kia whanake ai te māia, te āheinga hoki o ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou whakaaro mā te reo Māori. Engari, kua tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā whakaritenga matua ka whai ake i roto i te reo Māori, hei whakawhānui ake, hei whakatairanga ake hoki i aua putanga mō ngā tamariki. Ka hāngai ēnei ki tētahi rautaki ka āta whakamaheretia, ka āta whakahāngaitia hoki hei hāpai i te whānau ki te kōrero i te reo Māori, me tētahi hōtaka whakauru mō ngā whānau ka whakapūmau i te tūnga matua o te reo Māori ki tua atu i te kōhanga reo.
Kāhore anō te tūtohinga o te kōhanga reo kia arotakengia, mō te wā roa. Kei te tūtohinga te katoa o ngā kaupapa here me ngā aratohu e pā ana ki ngā whakaritenga. He maha ngā tukanga ki te hauora me te haumaru kāhore e āta aratohu ana i te riterite o ngā mahi, kāhore rānei e hāngai ana ki ngā taumata whakaritenga i whakaraupapahia ai ki ngā paearu raihana mō Te Kōhanga Reo.
Kāhore anō ngā whāinga rautaki a te whānau kia pūrongohia i ia te wā. Ko te pūrongo i ia te wā, me te hāngaitanga hoki o aua pūrongo, e hāpai ana i te āheinga o te kōhanga reo ki te aroturuki me te arotake i ia tau, i te whānuitanga o ngā whāinga, ngā tūmanako, me te āhua o ngā mahi. Ko te pūrongo i ia tau, i te tupu o te whānau i roto i te reo Māori, ka hāpai i tā rātou whakaritenga matua ka whai ake mō tētahi rautaki e pā ana ki te reo Māori.
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:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Rangaunu kei te tāone o Rangaunu. He tau, he pakari hoki ngā tamariki ki te taiao o tō rātou kōhanga reo, ā, ka tūhura, ka whakahura haere rātou mā te reo Māori ki te taha o tō rātou whānau. E tino tautokona ana te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Rangaunui roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Rangaunu is in the township of Rangaunu. Children are comfortable and confident in their kōhanga reo environment to explore and discover through te reo Māori with their whānau. Children are well supported to learn te reo Māori.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Rangaunu will be in three years.
‘He iti marangai, tū ana te pāhukahuka He iti pioke nō Rangaunu He au tōna’
Te Kōhanga Reo o Rangaunu is near Te Marae o Waimanoni in Rangaunu. Whānau from Kaitaia send their children to this kōhanga reo to learn the language, stories and tikanga of their hapū and iwi. The long standing kuia-kaiako provides support to the children and whānau to learn te reo Māori.
Children express themselves with growing confidence in te reo Māori.
Children explore te reo Māori in fun and memorable ways. Visual aids, resources, games and waiata are used to enhance children’s learning and exploration of the language. Older children confidently have conversations in te reo Māori with adults. Children participate in activities and experiences that reinforce local mita, history and whakapapa. Children are familiar with te reo Māori used for various occasions. Kaimahi promote and include local traditions to enhance te reo Māori learning. Children enjoy learning at kōhanga reo.
Children show growing awareness and respect for their physical and natural surroundings. They enjoy regular conversations with whānau about atua Māori and their place in te ao Māori and the wider world. Children participate and lead karakia for different situations. Tikanga is reinforced in daily routines, kaupapa mahi and regular visits to the local marae. Children are settled at kōhanga reo.
Children experience values of manaaki, aroha and whanaungatanga. They observe whānau being greeted warmly on arrival at kōhanga reo. The kohanga reo environment is well maintained, organised and designed to meet the interests of the children. Kaimahi role model respect when interacting with others. Children have meaningful interactions and relationships with their peers and adults. The older children understand their roles as tuākana to the babies and interact with care. Individuals are regularly praised for their efforts and achievements. Children’s wellbeing is a priority.
Children participate in well planned learning programmes. They explore te ao Māori in ways that excite, challenge and stimulate their thinking and language capabilities. Kaimahi adapt language and learning to suit the different age groups and children’s changing interests and needs. Strong reflective practice by kaimahi drives a highly adaptive and responsive programme for children. The kuia and kaimahi effectively monitor and report on how well programmes, provisions and practices impact on the holistic development and learning outcomes for all children. Mātai mokopuna are well developed. Parents have valuable information about their children’s language learning journey and experiences across Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira. Children benefit from a programme that caters to their needs.
The kōhanga reo is well managed for children. The long standing kuia-kaiako guides the whānau to learn about management of the kōhanga reo. Regular whānau hui reflect a shared approach where whānau members are encouraged to contribute to management decisions. There is detailed reporting on how well children are progressing with te reo Māori. These reports provide valuable information to whānau about how well Te Whāriki is managed to support children’s growth as learners. Children are at the heart of kōhanga reo decision making.
Whānau report that they enrol their children so that they can develop the confidence and ability to express themselves in te reo Māori. However, ERO has identified key next steps with te reo Māori that will broaden and enhance these outcomes for their children. These include a planned and targeted strategy to support whānau to speak te reo Māori, and whānau induction to reinforce and prioritise te reo Māori beyond kōhanga reo.
The kōhanga reo charter has not been reviewed for some time. The charter contains all policies and guidelines for practice. There are a number of procedures particularly with health and safety that don’t provide sufficient guidelines for consistency of practice and to reflect practice standards that are outlined in the licensing criteria for Te Kōhanga Reo.
Whānau planned strategic goals are yet to be regularly reported on. Regular and targeted reporting better positions the kōhanga reo for annual monitoring and review of overall goals, objectives and performance. Reporting on whanau growth in te reo Māori each year should support their key next step regarding a te reo Māori strategy.
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 and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
Whānau give priority to the key next steps identified in this ERO report that highlight the urgency for building whānau te reo Māori capacity and knowledge of the kōhanga reo kaupapa.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Rangaunu is in the township of Rangaunu. Children are comfortable and confident in their kōhanga reo environment to explore and discover through te reo Māori with their whānau. Children are well supported to learn te reo Māori.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Rangaunu will be in three years.
