Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaimahi ki te whakarato i te whānuitanga o ngā taumahi ki ngā mokopuna, hei whakatairanga i te taha pākiki, me te taha auaha. He maha ngā wā ka hāngai ngā taumahi ako ki ngā atua Māori e whai pānga ana. He hihiri te āhua o ngā wāhi ako o waho kua āta whakaritea, ā, he māra kai hoki e hāpai ana i te ako a ngā mokopuna i te kaitiakitanga. He pērā rawa hoki te hihiri me te whai rauemi o te wāhi o roto.

Ka ārahi te mahere ā-tau i ngā mahi e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o te tari me te kōhanga reo. Arotakengia ai te tūtohinga i ia te wā, hei āta whakatau i te hāngaitanga o tēnā ki ngā wawata o te whānau. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Ahakoa he mahere rautaki tā te whānau, kua tae ki te wā ki te whakawhanake i tētahi mahere mahi, hei whakatairanga tonu i ngā whakaritenga ngaio a ngā kaimahi, i ngā tūranga o te whānau me ā rātou kawenga mahi, me te whakaratonga mō ngā mahere tauatanga, hei whakapiki ake i te ako me ngā putanga e whai ana ki ngā mokopuna.

The Education Review Office (ERO) in collaboration with whānau, leaders, kaimahi and their communities develop evaluation insights that foster accountability and improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability. ERO reports provide important information for hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Pou Herenga Waka o Te Whakapono is in Marewa, Napier. The kōhanga reo shares a site with the Anglican Māori Mission Church. Kuia and kaumatua continue to be strong advocates for the hāhi, te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo and for their mokopuna.
Mokopuna confidently engage in their learning experiences.
Mokopuna participate in a range of meaningful learning experiences. Kuia and koroua provide guidance, leadership, and model tikanga and kawa across a range of settings such as traditional pūrakau, and pōwhiri. Opportunities are provided for mokopuna to lead and support each other in formal activities such as karakia, waiata and mōteatea. Whānau and kaimahi have created a learning environment that promotes manaaki, aroha and tiaki. Kaimahi model positive relationships that lead to stimulating interactions. Kaimahi, kuia and koroua are gentle and encourage mokopuna language development using prompts, questions, and repetition. Tuakana are confident to use what they know. Tēina show their understanding through hand actions, facial expressions, and mimicking. Mokopuna are eager participants in their learning.
Kaimahi work collaboratively to provide a range of activities for mokopuna that promotes curiosity, and creativity. Learning activities are often associated to the appropriate atua Māori. The outdoor learning areas are vibrant and organised with a maara kai where mokopuna learn about kaitiakitanga. The indoor area is just as vibrant and well resourced. The environment fosters co-operation and independence, and its flexibility encourages freedom for mokopuna to make choices. Routines are well established and predictable for mokopuna. Mokopuna appear happy and engaged in their learning environment.
Mokopuna learning is well catered for, monitored, and documented. Kaimahi work well together to plan, monitor mokopuna learning and regularly evaluate the quality of the learning programme. Whānau receive useful information about mokopuna learning and progress. Planning is detailed and guides the implementation of kaupapa mahi that has clear links to Te Whāriki-a-Te Kōhanga Reo. Individual portfolios are focused specifically on the development of each mokopuna. Mokopuna learning is a priority.
Whānau have efficient systems and processes in place to manage the kōhanga reo. Internal evaluation influences and informs decision making. All health, safety and personnel policies and procedures are regularly reviewed and align to legislative requirements. A comprehensive strategic plan is in place which includes the vision and aspirations that reflect sustainability for the future.
Personnel matters are managed efficiently. Appraisals are in place and focus on developing kaimahi knowledge and skills to be supportive and effective practitioners. The annual plan guides operational and administrative tasks. The tūtohinga is reviewed regularly to ensure it continues to align to whānau aspirations. Mokopuna are the are at the centre of whānau management.
Whilst whānau have a strategic plan, it is time to develop an action plan to continue to enhance kaimahi professional practise, whānau roles and responsibilities and provision for succession planning to further increase learning and positive outcomes for mokopuna.
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:
whānau continue to increase internal evaluation practices to maintain quality outcomes for Mokopuna.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Pou Herenga Waka o Te Whakapono ki Marewa, i Ahuriri. Kei ngā papa o te whare karakia Māori o te Hāhi Mihingare te kōhanga reo nei. Ka whai pānga te hāhi ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Kua whakawhanakehia, kua whakaritea hoki te wāhi hei poipoi i te ako me te atawhai o ngā tamariki katoa, me te tū tonu hoki hei marae mō te hapori.
Ka whakapuaki ngā tamariki i te whanaungatanga mā ā rātou taunekeneke me ō rātou hononga hoki ki ō rātou hoa, ki ngā pakeke, ā, ki tō rātou taiao hoki.
Kei te ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki te ako ki tētahi taiao e mau ana i te tini o ngā tū rauemi. He hōtaka taumahi tā rātou e hāpai ana i ngā whiringa, te mahi ngātahi, me ngā akoranga anō hoki ka pupū ake. Ko te rerekē haere o ngā matea o ngā tamariki e āta whakaarohia ana ki ngā tūmomo whiringa e noho wātea ana ki a rātou. E hāpai ana ngā taunekeneke a ngā kaimahi i ngā tūmomo kaupapa e pupū ake ana i roto i ngā tamariki. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i te tūhura haere o ngā tamariki. He pākiki ngā tamariki i a rātou e whakatewhatewha ana, e hīraurau hopanga ana, ā, e whakaaro ana anō hoki ki ngā tūmomo korikoritanga o te ao. Ka whakamaheretia ngā haerenga, ā, he āhuatanga matua tēnei o ngā akoranga i ia te wā. Nā ngā haerenga ka riro i ngā tamariki ngā wheako e toro atu ana ki tua atu kē o te kōhanga reo. E whanake ana ngā ngākau titikaha o ngā tamariki ki te ako.
E ako ana ngā tamariki i te reo Māori mā ngā huarahi e whai pūtake ana. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā taumahi reo pāhekoheko e tika ana. Ko ngā karakia, ko ngā mihimihi, ko ngā pepeha ētahi o ngā rautaki e whakamahia ana hei whakapakari ake i te māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki te reo Māori. E noho mōhio ana ngā tamariki ki aua hanganga reo, ā, ka taea e rātou te whai wāhi atu mā te tautoko anō hoki o ngā kaimahi. Ka aro nui, ka whakaaro nui hoki ngā tamariki ki ngā kōrero e kawea ana ki te reo Māori. Ka toro mai tētahi koroua ki te kōhanga reo, ā, he reo matatau tōna e whakapuakihia ana ki te kōhanga reo. E whāngai ana ia i te reo Māori tuku iho ki ngā tamariki. He pakari ake ngā tamariki tuākana ki te whakautu i ngā pātai a ngā kaimahi mā ngā rerenga kōrero poto. E whanake ana ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
Ka rumakina ngā tamariki ki ngā akoranga e whakakoia ana, otirā, e mau nei ana hoki i te aroha. Kua āta tuituia ngā whakapono me ngā uara o te hāhi ki ngā akoranga katoa, ki te taha hoki o ngā atua Māori. Whakatauirahia ai e ngā pakeke katoa o te kōhanga reo te manaakitanga i roto i ngā taunekeneke. Whakaatu ai ngā tamariki i te whakaute me te manaaki ki ērā atu i ngā taunekeneke. He māramatanga ngātahi tō ngā tamariki mō te noho motuhake o tō rātou kōhanga reo hei wāhi rangimārie, hei wāhi aroha. E mōhio ana ngā tamariki ki te whānuitanga o ngā momo karakia, mōteatea hoki mō ngā tū horopaki. Ko te whai wāhi mai o ngā kaumātua i hāpai ai i te ako a ngā tamariki i te whanonga e tika ana ki tō rātou taha. He mauritau te āhua o ngā tamariki i roto i ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu.
He tukanga ā ngā kaimahi mō te whakamahere me te aromātai i te hōtaka, me te aromatawai i ngā tamariki. E ārahi ana ngā mahere i te whakatinanatanga o te hōtaka. Kua āta tāutuhia te kiko o te hōtaka. Kei ngā kaimahi ngā whakaaturanga i tuhia ai mō te aromātai i te hōtaka. Ka aroturukitia te hōtaka, ā, ka whakatutukihia ngā whakapaitanga i ngā wā e tika ana. Ko ngā mōhiohio aromatawai i whakaemihia ai i te ako a ngā tamariki, he tirohanga anō hoki ki ā rātou akoranga me tā rātou ahunga whakamua. Ka āta whakamōhiotia te whānau ki ngā akoranga e whai pānga nui ana ki ā rātou tamariki.
He tukanga ā te whānau mō te whakahaeretanga o ngā whakaritenga ki tō rātou kōhanga reo. Tū ai ngā hui ā-whānau i ia te wā, ā, he āhuatanga tēnei e hāpai ana i te whakatau ngātahi. Ka arotahi ngā whakawhitinga whakaaro a te whānau ki ngā take e whai pānga nui ana ki ā rātou whakaritenga. He mahere rautaki tā te whānau, ā, e tāutu ana tēnei i ā rātou kaupapa matua mō te pae tawhiti me te pae waenga. Kua āta tāutuhia ngā tūranga mahi a ngā kaimahi. Kua whakatutukihia ngā mahi arohaehae. Ka āta tāutu ngā kaimahi i ā rātou whāinga i roto i ngā akoranga. Kua whakahoungia ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. E whakatakoto ana aua tuhinga i ngā aratohu e āta whakarite ana i te hauora me te haumaru o te taiao o ngā tamariki.
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.
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga:
kia whakapakari tonuhia e te whānau me ngā kaimahi te aromātai o roto.
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Pou Herenga Waka o Te Whakapono i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Pou Herenga Waka o Te Whakapono is in Marewa, Napier. The kōhanga reo shares a site with the Anglican Māori Mission Church. The church has an influence on the kaupapa of the kōhanga reo. The premises are developed and organised to cater for the learning and care of all children while continuing to serve as a marae for the local community.
Children express whanaungatanga through their interactions and relationships with their peers, adults and their environment.
Children enjoy learning in an environment that has a range of resources. There is a programme of activities that allow for choice, shared and spontaneous learning. The changing needs of children are well considered in the choices they have access to. Kaimahi interactions are supportive of children’s emerging interests. Kaimahi encourage children to explore. Children are curious as they investigate, problem solve and consider how things work. Planned excursions are a regular feature of learning. This provides children with experiences that extend beyond the walls of the kōhanga reo. Children are developing as confident learners.
Children learn te reo Māori in meaningful ways. Kaimahi provide appropriate interactive language activities. Karakia, mihimihi and pepeha are strategies used to build children’s understanding of te reo Māori. Children are familiar with these language structures and are able to participate with support from kaimahi. Children pay attention and are interested in messages conveyed in te reo Maori. The koroua who visits the kōhanga reo brings a high level of fluency to the kōhanga reo. He models a more traditional way of speaking te reo Māori for the children. Older children are more confident to respond in short sentences to questions asked by kaimahi. Children are developing as speakers of te reo Māori.
Children are immersed in learning that is affirming and loving. Te Hāhi beliefs and values are well integrated in all learning, along with ngā atua Māori. Caring interactions are consistently modelled by all adults at the kōhanga reo. Children show respect and care for others in their interactions. There is a shared understanding amongst children that their kōhanga reo is a special place where peace and aroha are important. Children know a range of karakia and mōteatea for different situations. The presence of kaumātua has taught the children that there is a specific way to behave in their presence. Children appear secure in their relationships with others.
Kaimahi have in place processes for programme planning, programme evaluation and children’s assessments. Programme implementation is guided by planning. Programme content is clearly identified. Kaimahi have documented evidence of programme evaluation. The programme is monitored and improvements made when required. Assessment information gathered about children’s learning provides insights into their learning and progress. Whānau are well informed of what learning is important to their children.
The whānau has systems to manage the operations of their kōhanga reo. Whānau hui are regular and supports collective decision making. Whānau discussions focus on matters that influence their practice. The whānau has a strategic plan that identifies their long and medium-term priorities. Personnel is well defined. Appraisals have been carried out. Kaimahi clearly identify what their goals are for learning. Health and safety policies and procedures have been updated. These provide guidelines to ensure a healthy and safe environment for children.
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 recommends:
the whānau and kaimahi continue to strengthen internal evaluation.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Pou Herenga Waka o Te Whakapono will be in three years.
