The Education Review Office (ERO) is the government department that, as part of its work, evaluates kōhanga reo throughout Aotearoa. ERO’s reports provide information for whānau, hapū, iwi and communities.
The Education Review Office, whānau, leaders and communities provide evaluation insights that foster improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Tārewa Pounamu is in Rotorua. The whānau have engaged in regional office and Purapura support to build capability and strengthen whānau management and operations to influence positive outcomes for mokopuna.
Mokopuna benefit from stimulating and focused learning.
Mokopuna experience positive and supportive relationships in the kōhanga reo. Kaimahi model manaaki, aroha and āwhina in the daily programme. Tuakana often lead aspects of the learning programme and are regularly praised for their efforts. Kaimahi provide interesting activities supporting mokopuna to interact positively with each other and adults. They encourage mokopuna to participate freely in kaupapa mahi within the kōhanga reo. Babies are included in the activities with tuakana. Mokopuna show love and care for each other.
Mokopuna enjoy learning te reo Māori. Kaimahi use prompts, questioning and repetition to encourage mokopuna to respond. They model the language and foster mokopuna use of te reo Māori through karakia, waiata and rotarota. Tuakana confidently use the language they know. Babies communicate using non-verbal language and facial expressions. Mokopuna are developing as early speakers of te reo.
Planning is purposeful and organised. Kaimahi have processes in place for planning and assessment. These include learning objectives and outcomes. Kōnae mokopuna capture mokopuna development and include photos of their activities. These records assist kaimahi to monitor the progress mokopuna are making in their learning. Whānau are informed about the progress and have opportunity to support mokopuna learning in the home. Mokopuna are the focus of planning and assessment.
Whānau manage the kōhanga reo well. There is good attendance at whānau monthly hui. Policies and procedures have been reviewed by the whānau. The strategic plan is informed by Te Ara Tūāpae. The tūtohinga provides guidance and direction for the whānau. Personnel processes are in place. Kaimahi appraisals are complete. All health and safety policies and procedures align to current legislation. Mokopuna benefit from collaborative and positive whānau management practices.
Currently, kaimahi do not hold hui to discuss and reflect on the learning programme. The next step is to meet regularly to identify and document the successes of the programme and how it could be improved. This should strengthen programme evaluation and support kaimahi to respond more effectively to the needs, strengths and interest of the tamariki.
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.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
kaimahi continue to strengthen programme evaluation to guide improvements that benefit mokopuna learning outcomes.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Tārewa Pounamu ki Rotorua. Nō Te Arawa te nuinga o ngā tamariki i te kōhanga reo. Ahakoa kua pā ētahi wero ki te whānau, kua ū tonu ngā kaimahi. He pai te tiaki i te kōhanga reo me ōna papa. Ka ū tonu te whai wāhi mai o ngā kaumātua. E whai hua ana taua āhuatanga ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo.
I te wā o te arotake, ahakoa i te harikoa te āhua o ngā tamariki, me nui ake te whai wāhitanga mō rātou ki te uru atu ki tētahi hōtaka akoranga whakaongaonga.
E whai wāhi atu ana ngā tamariki ki ngā taunekeneke e whakatairanga ake ana i tō rātou rongo i te whanaungatanga. Ka āta whakarite ngā kaimahi i te whai hanganga, te whai mahinga anō hoki o te hōtaka, kia waia, kia tau hoki ngā tamariki ki te āhua o ia rā. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki tuākana te whakawhanaunga ki ētahi atu. Ka kitea tō rātou manaaki i ngā tēina, tō rātou whakaaro nui anō hoki. Ka ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki te tākaro tahi me te mahi tahi. He pai ki a rātou te kawe atu i ngā mahi ki te ārahi i ētahi o ngā tūmomo wāhanga o te hōtaka. He mauritau, he mārie hoki te āhua o ngā tamariki.
He harikoakoa te āhua o ngā tamariki ki te ako i te ao Māori. Ka whakapuaki ngā kaimahi i ngā mōhiohio puta noa i te rā, kia ako ngā tamariki i ngā atua Māori. Ka tino mauritau, ka āta whakarongo pīkari hoki ngā tamariki i te wāhanga ōkawa o te hōtaka. Ka kitea tō rātou ngākau nui ki te noho tahi mai o ngā kaumātua me ngā mema o te whānau. Ko ngā tūmomo taunekeneke pēnei ka pupū ake e hāpai ana hoki i te māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki te āhua e tika ana mō te noho ki te taha o ngā kaumātua, ā, ka whakatauira anō hoki ngā kaumātua i te rangimārie, te hūmārie, me te aroha. E whanake ana te ngākau titikaha o ngā tamariki.
Me āta titiro ki te hōtaka akoranga. E noho rangirua ana te nuinga o ngā kaimahi ki tēnā hei whakatakoto, hei whakarite anō hoki i roto i te hōtaka akoranga. He whāiti ngā taumahi, ā, kāhore e whakaritea ana i mua i te taetae mai o ngā tamariki. Nā aua tūāhuatanga, e kōkiri rawatia ana te hōtaka e te pakeke. Kāhore ngā tamariki e whakaongaongatia ana nā te whāiti rawa o ngā taumahi i te hōtaka.
He iti noa ngā taunekeneke whakaako, taunekeneke ako hoki a ngā kaimahi ki te taha o ngā tamariki. I ētahi wāhanga o te rā, kāhore ngā tamariki e ākina ana, e whakaongaongatia ana rānei i a rātou e ako ana, ā, e tākaro ana hoki. E mōhio ana ngā kaimahi, e tika ana kia whakapaitia ake ngā taunekeneke ako ki te taha o ngā tamariki. Kāhore ngā tamariki e whiwhi ana i ngā painga ka pupū ake i ngā whai wāhitanga ki te āta whakaaro, otirā, i ngā whai wāhitanga hoki ka whakawero i a rātou.
Kua tuhia ngā tukanga e pā ana ki ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau. Kua whakatakotohia ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga ā-tari mō te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Kei tā rātou tūtohinga te katoa o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e tika ana ki te ārahi i ngā mahi e pā ana ki te nuinga o ngā āhuatanga o ngā whakaritenga me te whakahaeretanga o te tari me te kōhanga reo. Ka ū pūmau ki ngā pūnaha e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, tae atu hoki ki ngā rehita e pā ana ki te atawhai o ngā tamariki. E mahi tūao ana tētahi kuia, hei hāpai i ngā kaimahi i roto i ngā mahi e pā ana ki te kīhini me ngā mahinga o ia rā. Kei te whakawātea ia i ngā kaimahi ki te mahi ki te taha o ngā tamariki.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Tārewa Pounamu is in Rotorua. Most children who attend the kōhanga reo affiliate to Te Arawa. The whānau have been faced with some challenges but despite this, the kaimahi have remained constant. The kōhanga reo and grounds are well maintained. Kaumātua involvement is ongoing. This is beneficial to kaupapa of the kohanga reo.
During the review, although children appear happy, there needs to be more opportunity for them to experience a stimulating learning programme.
Children have interactions that grow their sense of whanaungatanga. Kaimahi ensure the running of the programme provides structure and routine so that there is familiarity for children. The older children enjoy connecting with others. They show care and respect for teina. Children enjoy playing and working together. They like to take on leadership roles during different parts of the programme. Children appear settled and calm.
Children appear to enjoy learning about te ao Maori. Kaimahi share information during the day for children to learn about atua Māori. Children are especially settled and attentive during the formal part of the programme. They show that they enjoy the presence of the kaumātua and whānau members. These incidental interactions support children to understand how to behave with kaumātua who model rangimārie, hūmarie and aroha. Children are developing confidence.
The learning programme requires attention. Most kaimahi are uncertain about what to prepare and organise for the learning programme. Activities are limited and are not set up prior to children arriving. As a result, the programme is adult directed. Children are not stimulated as programme activities are limited.
Kaimahi teaching and learning interactions with children are limited. There are times in the day where children are not encouraged, stimulated or supported as they learn and play. Kaimahi acknowledge the need to improve learning interactions with children. Children do not benefit from opportunities to think and be challenged.
Whanau management processes are documented. Administration systems and processes for managing the kohanga reo are in place. Their tūtohinga includes all necessary policies with procedures to guide practice around most aspects of operations, administration and management. Health and safety systems are maintained, including care registers for children. A kuia has come in to voluntarily support kaimahi for kitchen and daily duties. This frees kaimahi up to work with children. A strategic plan is visible for all members in the kohanga reo foyer. These goals provide specific focus areas for whanau to grow. A kaiwhakahaere has recently been appointed to fill the administrator’s position.
Internal evaluation is inadequate. Within this area there are specific issues that require attention. There is a need for focused implementation. These are:
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 Tārewa Pounamu will be within two years.

Te Aromātai
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Tārewa Pounamu ki Rotorua. Nō Te Arawa te nuinga o ngā tamariki ki tēnei kōhanga reo. Ka whiwhi ngā tamariki i ngā tino hononga e whai pūtake ana, ki te taha o te whānau me ētahi atu i te hapori whānui.
He mārama ngā wawata o te whānau mō ā rātou tamariki, ā, e noho ngākau nui ana ki te hāpai i ā rātou akoranga. Ko ngā akoranga, ngā taunekeneke, me te atawhai o ngā tamariki e pou herea ana e te whanaungatanga. Ka tūmāia ngā tamariki, e mōhio ana rātou ki a rātou anō, ki tō rātou tūrangawaewae hoki.
Ko ngā tamariki kei te pūtake o ngā whakataunga me ngā mahi whakamahere a te whānau o te kōhanga reo. Ka arotahi te whānau ki te pūmautanga o te tupu me te whakapai tonutanga. Kua whakaritea te arotake whaiaro, ā, e whakamahia ana hei aroturuki i te āhua o ngā whakahaeretanga whānui.
He pēhea rawa te whakaatu a ngā tamariki i tō rātou māramatanga ki te whanaungatanga?
He harikoa, he tau, he māia hoki ngā tamariki ki tō rātou taiao ako ā-whānau.
Ka rongo ngā tamariki i ngā hononga whakaute e whai pūtake ana. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi me te whānau i ngā uaratanga o te aroha, te awhi, te tautoko me te whanaungatanga. He pakari te taunekeneke a ngā tamariki ki te taha o ō rātou hoa me ngā pākeke.
Ka whakanuia te whai wāhi mai o ngā tamariki ki te whānau o te kōhanga reo, ā, ka whakamanahia, ka whakapūmautia hoki tō rātou tuakiri hei uri o Te Arawa. He nui ngā wawata o te whānau kia tū manawa whakahī ā rātou tamariki nā runga i te mōhio ki a rātou anō me tō rātou tūrangawaewae.
Ka whakanuia te reo Māori mā ngā huarahi papai e whai pūtake ana. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki e whai hua ana ki te kōkiri i te mōhiotanga me te āheinga o ngā tamariki i roto i te reo Māori. Ka rongo, ka whakamahi hoki rātou i te reo Māori mā ngā horopaki ōkawa me ngā horopaki ōpaki. Ka ākina ngā tamariki ki te tū ki te ārahi i te whānau i roto i ngā karakia me ngā waiata. Ka tū takitahi ngā tamariki tuākana ki te taki i ō rātou ake pepeha. Ka whiwhi ngā tamariki i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi kaupapa ako e whakawhānui ana, e whakatairanga ana hoki i te whakawhanaketanga o tō rātou reo. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki te piki haere o tō rātou mōhiotanga ki te reo Māori hei reo whakawhitiwhiti kōrero.
He maha ngā whai wāhitanga a ngā tamariki ki te whakatewhatewha i ngā taiao o roto, o waho hoki ki te kōhanga reo. Ka ākina rātou ki te tūhura i ō rātou whakaaro me ā rātou tirohanga mō te ao māoriori me te ao tūturu. Ko tētahi āhuatanga nui o te tūhura ki waho, ko te māra kai, ā, ka hāpai tēnei wāhi i ngā akoranga e pā ana ki te kaitiakitanga me te manaakitanga. Ka tautokona ngā tamariki kia hīraurau hopanga, kia whakaaro pohewa hoki. Ka whai wāhi rātou ki ngā taumahi ka whakapakari ake i tō rātou tūmāia, ā, ka whakawero anō hoki i ō rātou whakaaro. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki te kōkiri i tā rātou ake tūhura haere. Ka kitea te tūmāia, te tākare hoki o ngā tamariki hei ākonga.
E tino tautokona ana ngā tamariki kia whanake ai te māia, te harikoa, me te mātātoa hoki o tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo horopaki ako.
He pai te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo hei painga mō ngā tamariki. He tau ngā pūnaha e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi, ngā pūtea, me ngā pūrongo, puta noa i ngā wāhanga katoa o te whakahaeretanga. Ka tino aro nui ngā hui ā-whānau ki te waiora me te atawhai o ngā tamariki. He pai te noho mōhio o te whānau ki ngā whakahaeretanga me ngā whakataunga. Kua āta whakawhanakehia tētahi mahere rautaki, ā, ka whakatakoto tēnei i ngā kaupapa mahi e arotahi ana ki ngā whakapaitanga me te tupu tonutanga.
Ko ngā mahere ako mā ngā tamariki ka whakahāngaitia ki Te Whāriki. Kua waihangatia ngā taumahi a ngā tamariki mō ngā tūmomo reanga me ngā tūmomo āheinga. Ka whiwhi ngā tamariki i ngā hōtaka akoranga e whai pūtake ana.
Ka āta tuhia te ako a ngā tamariki me ō rātou whakawhanaketanga. Ko ā rātou wheako me ā rātou wā ako motuhake, ka kapohia atu ki ngā pūkete e whakatinanahia ana e ngā kaimahi. He pai ngā mōhiohio e tohu ana i te āhua o te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki. E wātea ana aua pūkete ki ngā mātua, ā, e āhei ana rātou ki te aroturuki i te whanaketanga o ā rātou tamariki. E ai ki ngā kaimahi, e whakaaro tonu ana rātou i ngā wā katoa ki ngā tūmomo huarahi ka whakapai ake i ā rātou mahi aromatawai.
Kua āta whakaritea te arotake whaiaro. Hui ai ngā kaimahi i ia te wā ki te whakawhiti kōrero, ki te aroturuki hoki i te whai huatanga o te hōtaka me te kounga o te atawhai e whakaratohia ana e rātou mō ā rātou tamariki. Ka whakamahia aua mōhiohio hei hāpai i te waihanga, te whakapuakitanga, me ngā whakaritenga o te hōtaka. Ka whai hua ngā mahi a te whānau ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Tārewa Pounamu is in Rotorua. Most children who attend the kōhanga reo affiliate to Te Arawa. Children experience strong and meaningful connections with whānau and others in the wider community.
Whānau have clear aspirations for their children and are committed to supporting their learning. Children’s learning, interactions and care are underpinned by whanaungatanga. Children are confident, know who they are and where they belong.
The kōhanga reo whānau have children at the centre of decision making and planning. They are focused on sustained growth and continual improvement. Internal review is established and used to monitor the overall performance of operations.
How well do children show they understand whanaungatanga?
Children are happy, settled and confident in their whānau learning environment.
Children experience meaningful and respectful relationships. Kaimahi and whānau model the values of aroha, awhi, tautoko and whanaungatanga. Children interact confidently with peers and adults.
Children are valued members of the kōhanga reo whānau and their identity as Te Arawa descendants is acknowledged and affirmed. Whānau have high aspirations that their children will be proud of who they are and where they come from.
Te reo Māori is promoted in positive and meaningful ways. Kaimahi use effective strategies to advance children’s knowledge and capability in te reo Māori. They hear and use te reo Māori in formal and informal contexts. Children are encouraged to take on lead roles for the whānau, including karakia and waiata. Older children recite their pepehā without assistance. Children receive a range of kaupapa learning activities that extend and enrich their language development. Children show increasing awareness of te reo Māori as the language of communication.
Children have many opportunities to investigate the indoor and outdoor environments at the kōhanga reo. They are encouraged to explore their ideas and views of the natural and physical worlds. Maara kai is a prominent feature of outdoor exploration to support learning about kaitiakitanga and manaakitanga. Children are supported to problem solve and use their imagination. They participate in activities that build their confidence and challenge their thinking. Children enjoy independent exploration. Children show confidence and enthusiasm as learners.
Children are well supported to develop as confident, happy and active participants in a range of learning contexts.
The kōhanga reo is managed well in the interests of children. Sound systems for managing personnel, finance and reporting across all areas of operations are in place. Whānau hui are strongly focussed on the wellbeing and care of children. Whānau are kept well informed of operations and decisions. A well-developed strategic plan sets out priorities that focus on improvement and continual growth.
Planning for children’s learning is aligned to Te Whāriki. Children’s activities are designed for the various ages and levels of ability. Children experience meaningful programmes of learning.
Children’s learning and development is well documented. Their experiences and special learning moments are captured in profiles that are maintained by kaimahi. There is good information to show how well children are progressing. Parents have access to these profiles and can monitor their child’s development. Kaimahi report that they are continually looking at ways to improve their assessment practices.
Self-review is well established. Kaimahi meet regularly to discuss and monitor programme effectiveness and the quality of care they provide for their children. This information is used to inform programme design, delivery and practice. Whānau manage the kōhanga reo in an efficient way.
Annual planning, reporting and monitoring is an area for development. Whānau recognise that this is a valuable next step to maintain their focus on strategic progress and improvements 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:
emotional safety (including positive guidance and child protection)
physical safety (including supervision; sleep procedures; accidents; medication; hygiene; excursion policies and procedures)
suitable staffing (including qualification levels; police vetting; teacher registration; ratios)
evacuation procedures and practices for fire and earthquake.
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:
use internal review information to support annual planning and reporting on whānau strategic priorities.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Tārewa Pounamu is in Rotorua. Children are well supported in their development of te reo and tikanga Māori. Children learn that whanaungatanga is a critical part of their identity and their wellbeing. Whānau management is centred on success for children and continual growth of the kōhanga reo kaupapa.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Tārewa Pounamu will be in three years.
