View on mapE tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whānau Mana Kākano ki ngā whare o Te Kura o Terrace End, ki te hapori o Roslyn i Te Papaioea. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kua whakatū te kōhanga reo i tētahi kaiwhakahaere hou me tētahi atu kaiako, hei tautoko i te kaiako e mahi kē ana ki reira. E whakapau kaha tonu ana rātou ki te whakapiki ake i te tatau o ngā tamariki ki te rārangi ingoa, ā, kua hoko rātou i tētahi waka hei kawe i ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo.
Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou mauminamina, tō rātou manaakitanga hoki i roto i ā rātou taunekeneke me ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu.
E ako ana ngā tamariki i te reo Māori ki tētahi taiao e poipoi ana i a rātou. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki e whakapakari ai i te māramatanga o ngā tamariki – i tā rātou whakamahinga anō hoki – i te reo Māori, tae atu ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero, te patapatai, te whāngai kupu, me ngā tohutohu. Ka whakapuaki ngā karakia, ngā mihimihi, me te taki whakapapa i ngā hanganga reo ki ngā tamariki. Ka tūmāia ngā tamariki tuākana ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori, ā, ka taea e rātou te kōkiri ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki te taha o ētahi atu. E tīmata ana ngā pēpi ki te whakaatu i tō rātou māramatanga i te reo Māori. Ka aro atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero a ngā tamariki, i runga i te aroha me te māramatanga. E tupu haere ana ngā ngākau titikaha ō ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
E whai wāhi atu ana ngā tamariki ki ngā hononga e whai pūtake ana i te kōhanga reo. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi me pēhea te manaaki me te whakaute i ētahi atu, ā, ka tautāwhitia e rātou ngā tamariki ki te aroha, te manaaki, me te tiaki. E ākina ana ngā tamariki kia whai tautoko, kia whai aroha anō hoki ā rātou taunekeneke ki ō rātou hoa. Kua tūhonohono atu ngā pēpi ki ngā kaimahi mā te whakawhirinakitanga, ā, ka aro nui ngā kaimahi ki ō rātou matea ā-whatumanawa, ā-tinana hoki. Ka whakaaro nui ngā tamariki tuākana i a rātou e taunekeneke ana ki ngā pēpi. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i te whakawhanaungatanga o te tuakana me te teina. Ka whakapuakihia te reo whakakoia ki ā rātou kōrero urupare ki ngā tamariki mō ā rātou mahi angitu. Ko te pai o ngā hononga ki te kōhanga reo e poipoi ana i te whanaungatanga. Kei te harikoa, kei te mauritau hoki ngā tamariki.
E ako ana ngā tamariki i ā rātou mahi e whai wāhi atu ai ki te manaaki i te taiao. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i tētahi hōtaka e poipoi ana i te tuakiri o ngā tamariki. E aro matua ana te hōtaka akoranga ki te whakahirahiratanga o te whakapapa me ngā hononga ki te ao tūroa. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki te ako i ō rātou hononga ki ō rātou maunga, ō rātou awa, ō rātou marae, tae atu hoki ki ngā tāngata e whai wāhi nui ana ki ō rātou ao. Ka tupu haere te māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki te taiao mā te ako i ngā atua Māori, ā, mā te tūhura hoki i te ao tūroa. Ka ako ngā tamariki ki te manaaki i te taiao mā te tiaki i ngā rawa me te whakapaipai haere whai muri i ā rātou mahi. E ako ana ngā tamariki i tō rātou whai wāhi nui ki te ao whānui.
He rawaka ngā mahi a te whānau ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. He tukanga ā ngā kaimahi hei whakatutuki haere i ngā mahi ki te whakamahere i te hōtaka me te aromatawai i ngā tamariki. E tāutu ana ngā mahere ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, ā-wiki hoki i te kiko o ngā mahi me ngā rautaki, hei ārahi i te whakatinanatanga o te hōtaka akoranga. He mārama ngā hononga ki Te Whāriki. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki ngā hōtaka akoranga i āta whakamaheretia ai mā te whai whakaaro nui. Ko ngā mōhiohio aromatawai e pā ana ki te ako a ngā tamariki, ka whakaemihia ki ngā mātai mokopuna me ngā pūkete, ā, ka whakapuakihia ki te taha o ngā mema o te whānau. Tū ai ngā hui ā-whānau i ia te wā, ā, he pai anō hoki te taumata o ngā mahi e pūrongo ai i ngā āhuatanga matua o ngā whakahaeretanga. E arotakengia ana te tūtohinga i tēnei wā. Kua whakahoungia te katoa o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru.
Me whakapakari i te aromātai hōtaka. Ahakoa ka whakawhiti kōrero ngā kaimahi mō te hōtaka akoranga, he uaua ki te tātari i te āhua o ngā mahi e aroturuki ai i te kounga o te hōtaka. Kua tae ki te wā kia whai whakaarohia e ngā kaimahi ētahi atu huarahi ka aromātai, ka arotake hoki i te whai huatanga o te hōtaka akoranga.
Kāhore ētahi tukanga o te hauora me te haumaru e āta whakatinanahia ana kia whai hua ai. Kāhore anō kia oti ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hōneatanga ohorere. Kāhore anō te whānau kia whakatinana i ngā tukanga me te tuhi tika i ngā akoako hōneatanga inā he rū whenua, he take ohorere rānei. Ahakoa he kaupapa here, he tukanga hoki ā te whānau mō ngā haerenga ki waho atu i te kōhanga reo, kāhore ngā mahere ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga mōrearea e whakatutukihia ana i ia te wā, hei poipoi mārika i te noho haumaru o ngā tamariki i aua wā.
Kāhore anō kia oti te arohaehae kaimahi. He mea nui kia āta hāpaitia te tāutu a ngā kaimahi i ō rātou pūmanawa, i ngā āhuatanga hoki hei whakapai tonu, me tā rātou whakatutuki i te whakawhanaketanga ngaio e whai wāhi atu ai ki te kounga o te mātauranga me te atawhai 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.
I te wā o te arotake, i tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā wāhanga kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture. Kia tutuki i te whānau ā rātou herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:
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 Te Whānau Mana Kākano i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whānau Mana Kākano is located on the premises of Terrace End School in Roslyn, Palmerston North. Since the previous ERO review, the kōhanga reo has employed a new kaiwhakahaere and kaiako to support the kaiako. They continue in their efforts to increase the roll number of children and have purchased a van to transport children to kōhanga reo.
Children show that they are open and caring in their interactions and relationships with others.
Children learn te reo Māori in a supportive environment. Kaimahi use a range of strategies to build children’s understanding and use of te reo Māori including conversations, questions, prompts and instructions. Karakia, mihimihi and reciting whakapapa introduces children to language structures. Older children are confident in their use of te reo Māori and are able to initiate conversations with others. Babies are beginning to express their understanding of te reo Māori. Kaimahi respond to children’s communication with warmth and understanding. Children are growing in confidence to speak te reo Māori.
Children enjoy meaningful relationships in the kōhanga reo. Kaimahi model care and respect for others, and embrace children with aroha, manaaki and tiaki. Children are encouraged to interact in supportive and loving ways with their peers. Babies have established trusting relationships with kaimahi who are attentive to their emotional and physical needs. The older children are very mindful when interacting with babies. Kaimahi encourage tuākana tēina relationships. They provide affirming feedback to children for their successes. Positive relationships within the kōhanga reo foster whanaungatanga. Children are happy and settled.
Children learn about their role in caring for the environment. Kaimahi provide a programme that nurtures children’s identity. The learning programme emphasises the importance of whakapapa and connections to the natural world. Kaimahi support children to learn about their connections to their mountains, rivers, marae and significant people in their lives. Children begin to understand nature through learning about atua Māori and exploring the environment. Children learn to care for the environment by looking after resources and tidying up after themselves. Children are learning about their place in the wider world.
Whānau management of the kōhanga reo is adequate. Kaimahi have processes in place to carry out programme planning and assessment. Annual, term and weekly plans identify content and strategies to guide the implementation of the learning programme. There are clear links to Te Whāriki. Children participate in learning programmes that are carefully and thoughtfully planned. Assessment information about children’s learning is collated through mātai mokopuna and profile books and shared with whānau members. Whānau hui are held regularly and there is a good level of reporting around key aspects of operations. The charter is currently under review. All health and safety policies and procedures have been updated.
Programme evaluation requires strengthening. While kaimahi discuss the learning programme, it is difficult to gauge how the quality of the programme is monitored. It is time for kaimahi to consider other ways to evaluate and review the effectiveness of the learning programme.
Some health and safety processes are not well implemented. Emergency evacuation procedures are incomplete. The whānau have not yet implemented procedures and appropriate recording of earthquake and other evacuation drills. While the whānau have a policy and procedures for trips away from the kōhanga reo, risk management plans are not consistently completed to support the safety of children at these times.
Kaimahi appraisals have not yet been completed. It is important that kaimahi are well supported to identify areas of strength and areas for further improvement, and undertake professional development that contributes to quality education and care 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 identified areas of non-compliance. In order for the kōhanga reo whānau to meet compliance requirements they need to:
review and update all requirements to ensure that emergency evacuation drills are carried and maintained for children
[Regulation 46 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; HS7 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
strengthen programme evaluation
implement and document all emergency evacuation drills
ensure all trips and excursions are well planned with respect to the health and safety of children
carry out the appraisal of kaimahi and provide relevant professional development.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whānau Mana Kākano will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Mana Whānau Kākano ki ngā papa o Te Kura o Terrace End ki Te Papaioea. E tupu ana te māia o ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori. Kua arotahi ki te whakatupu ake i te reo Māori mō ngā kaimahi me ngā tamariki. Kei te anga nui te whānau ki te whakawhanaketanga o te kōhanga reo ā meāke nei.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whānau Mana Kākano i roto i te toru o ngā tau.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whānau Mana Kākano ki Te Papaioea. Kua pā mai ētahi tino wero ki te kōhanga reo. Kei te mahi hoki te kaiako o tēnei wā, hei kaiwhakahaere anō hoki. I ngā tau e rua kua pahure ake nei, nā te mutunga kore o tōna whakapono me tana ū ki te kaupapa, kua piki ake te tatauranga tamariki e haere ana ki te kōhanga reo, me te noho pūmau o tētahi taiao e kōrerohia ana te reo Māori. Kua whai pānga nui te tautoko o te heamana mō te kaiako i roto i taua wā. He tokoiti ngā mema o te whānau. Ko ngā wawata mō meāke nei, ko te whakapiki ake tonu i te tatauranga tamariki, ā, kia whai wāhi atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā whakawhanaketanga ngaio e tika ana. He ngākau rorotu tō te whānau mō te ahu whakamua o tō rātou kōhanga reo ā meāke nei.
Kei te māia haere te whakamahinga a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori.
Rongo ai ngā tamariki i te reo Māori puta noa i te rā. He pai te māramatanga o ngā tamariki tuākana ki te reo Māori. He tika tā rātou aro atu, ā, ka kōrero Māori rātou i ngā wā ka ākina rātou. He mārama ngā whakawhitinga kōrero a ngā kaimahi. He pai te māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki te reo ōkawa me te reo ōpaki. Ka tino kitea tēnei āhuatanga i a rātou e taki ana i ngā karakia me ngā mihimihi. E tupu haere ana te māia o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
He aronga toi whenuatanga tō ngā tamariki. He pārekareka ki a rātou ngā taunekeneke me ā rātou hononga pai ki ētahi atu. Ka whakapuaki ngā tamariki i tēnā e mōhiotia ana e rātou mō ō rātou whānau, i a rātou e taki ana i ō rātou pepeha me ō rātou whakapapa. Ka whai wāhi atu rātou ki ngā karakia me ngā mōteatea hei whakatairanga i ō rātou mōhiotanga ki a rātou anō, me ō rātou whānau, ō rātou hapū, me ō rātou iwi. Ka riro i ngā tamariki ngā akoranga e whakamana ana i tō rātou tuakiri mā te reo Māori.
Ka tautokona te whakapuaki a ngā tamariki i ō rātou whakaaro mā te reo Māori. He pārekareka ki a rātou ngā wā ka pānui tētahi ki a rātou. Ka whai wāhi atu rātou ki ngā pakitara, ā, e āhei ana rātou ki te tārua i te ia o te kōrero. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā waiata hei hāpai i te māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki ngā ariā. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te whakarite i ngā whakataunga e pā ana ki ā rātou mahi me ngā akoranga. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki te taha o ngā tamariki, ā, he tika hoki tā rātou patapatai. Ka tūhura ngā tamariki i te reo Māori ki tētahi taiao e tino hāpaitia ana rātou.
Kua āta tuhia ngā mahere hōtaka. He ngāwari ngā mahere, hei hāpai i ngā tamariki ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā tūmomo mahi ka pupū ake, ā, ka whai pānga nui tonu ki ā rātou akoranga. Ka tāutuhia ngā kupu Māori hei whakawhānui i te māramatanga me te whakamahinga o te reo Māori ki ngā tūmomo horopaki. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā tētahi hōtaka e arotahi ana ki te whakatairanga i te reo Māori mā ngā horopaki ako e whai pūtake ana.
He mārama ngā aratohu ki te tūtohinga mō te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Nā runga i te tikanga whakaaro, ka noho ngā tamariki, te whānau, me te reo Māori ki te pūtake o ngā whakahaeretanga katoa. Kua whakaritea ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga. Ka āta whakarite ēnei i te noho hauora, te noho haumaru hoki o te kōhanga reo mō ngā tamariki.
Kua whakaritea e te whānau ngā pūnaha ka āta whakarite i te noho mārama o ngā kaimahi ki ō rātou tūranga, ā rātou kawenga mahi, me ā rātou whiwhinga. Ka hāngai te katoa o ngā mōhiohio ki te wā. Ka kitea te tū o te whānau hei kaituku mahi pai. Kua arohaehaengia ngā kaimahi. Ka hāngai te whakawhanaketanga ngaio ki ngā putanga o ngā arohaehae, ā, ka noho matua te reo Māori.
Kua whakawhanakehia tētahi mahere rautaki, mahere mahi hoki e tāutu ana i ngā kaupapa matua a te whānau mō ngā tau e toru e whai ake nei. Kei te whakatakoto hoki tēnei i ngā whāinga rautaki e pā ana ki te whakapakaritanga ake o te reo Māori, ngā whakahaeretanga, me ngā mahi ki te whakahou ake i te whare. Ko ngā pūrongo ka tohu i te ahu whakamua o ngā whāinga ka whai pānga anō hoki ki ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te arotake whaiaro.
Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā pūkete hei tūmomo aromatawai. Kei te tīmatanga tonu tēnei o te whakawhanaketanga. Kua tae ki te wā, kia whai whakaaro ngā kaimahi ki tētahi tukanga ka aroturuki i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Mā tēnei, ka tino whakamōhiotia te whānau mō te ahu whakamua o ā rātou tamariki.
Kua tae ki te wā, kia whakaaro huritao ngā kaimahi ki te hōtaka, inā koa, ki ngā āhuatanga i whai hua ai, ki ērā kāhore e whai hua ana, ā, ki te āhua o ngā whakarerekētanga ka whakapai ake i ngā akoranga mā ngā tamariki. Mā tēnei, ka aro nui te hōtaka ki ngā matea ako o ngā tamariki.
Kāhore anō te kaiako kia arohaehaengia. Kua tae ki te wā, kia whakarite te whānau i tētahi tukanga ka whakatutuki haere i te arohaehae. Ka hāpai tēnei i te whānau ki te tāutu i ngā huarahi ka tautoko i te kaiako i roto i āna mahi ki te taha o ngā kaimahi me ngā tamariki.
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.
Me tahuri te whānau ki te:
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Mana Whānau Kākano ki ngā papa o Te Kura o Terrace End ki Te Papaioea. E tupu ana te māia o ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori. Kua arotahi ki te whakatupu ake i te reo Māori mō ngā kaimahi me ngā tamariki. Kei te anga nui te whānau ki te whakawhanaketanga o te kōhanga reo ā meāke nei.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Mana Whānau Kākano is located on the grounds of Terrace End School in Palmerston North. Children are growing confidence in their use of te reo Maori. There has been a focus on growing te reo Māori for kaimahi and children. Whānau are positive about the future development of the kōhanga reo.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whānau Mana Kākano will be in three years.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whānau Mana Kākano is in Palmerston North. The kōhanga reo has been through some challenging times. The current kaiako also works as the kaiwhakahaere. Over the past two years her unrelenting belief and commitment to the kaupapa has resulted in an increase of the number of children attending kōhanga reo and the maintenance of a te reo Māori speaking environment.The support of the chairperson has been significant for the kaiako during this period. The number of whānau is quite small. The future aspirations are to increase the number of children and for kaimahi to participate in appropriate professional development. The whānau are optimistic about the future of their kōhanga reo.
Children are growing confidence in their use of te reo Maori
Children hear te reo Māori throughout the day. The older children have a good understanding of te reo Māori. They respond appropriately and speak Māori when reminded. Kaimahi are clear in their communications. Children have a good understanding of formal and informal language. This is particularly obvious when they recite karakia and mihimihi. Children are growing in their confidence to speak te reo Māori.
Children develop a sense of belonging. They enjoy interactions and positive relationships with others. Children communicate what they know about their whānau as they recite their pepeha and whakapapa. They participate in karakia and mōteatea to enhance knowledge of themselves, their whānau, hapū and iwi. Children experience learning where their identity is promoted through te reo Māori.
Children are supported to express themselves in te reo Māori. They enjoy being read to. They engage with stories and are able to retell the story line. Kaimahi use waiata to support children’s understanding of concepts. Children have opportunities to make decisions about their work and learning. Kaimahi engage with children in conversations and ask appropriate questions. Children explore te reo Māori in a supportive environment.
Programme planning is well documented. Planning is flexible and allows children to participate in spontaneous events that contribute to their learning. Māori words are identified to extend children’s understanding and use of te reo Māori in particular situations. Children benefit from a programme that is focused on enhancing te reo Māori through meaningful learning contexts.
The Charter provides clear guidelines for the management of the kōhanga reo. The philosophy positions children, whānau and te reo Māori at the centre of all operations. Policies and procedures are in place. These ensure that the kōhanga reo is a healthy and safe place for children.
Whānau have in place systems to ensure that kaimahi are clear about their roles and responsibilities and their entitlements. All information is current. Whānau demonstrate they are fair employers. Kaimahi have been appraised. Professional development is influenced by the outcomes of appraisals and gives priority to te reo Māori.
A strategic and action plan has been developed which identifies whānau priorities over the next three years. This includes strategic goals for strengthening te reo Māori; operations and building upgrades. Progress reports against the goals will contribute to internal review practice.
Kaimahi use profiles as an assessment tool. This is in the early stages of development. It is time for kaimahi to consider a process where children’s learning is able to be monitored. This will ensure whānau are well informed of their children’s progress.
It is time for kaimahi to reflect on the programme in particular, what has worked, what hasn’t worked and what changes can be made to improve learning for children. This will ensure that the programme responds to children’s learning needs.
The kaiako has not yet been appraised. It is time for whānau to put in to place a process for the appraisal to happen. This will support the whānau to identify ways to support the kaiako in her work with kaimahi and 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.
The whānau must ensure that:
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations that:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Mana Whānau Kākano is located on the grounds of Terrace End School in Palmerston North. Children are growing confidence in their use of te reo Maori. There has been a focus on growing te reo Māori for kaimahi and children. Whānau are positive about the future development of the kōhanga reo.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whānau Mana Kākano will be in three years.
