View on mapE tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whetū o Te Ao Mārama ki Pāharakeke, ki Heretaunga. He tino hononga ā-whakapapa ki waenga i ngā whānau o te kōhanga reo. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2015, kua whakarahi ake te whānau i te tatauranga tamariki ki tā rātou raihana, hei ea i te hiahia o te tokomaha i te hapori kia uru mai ki te kōhanga reo. I nāianei, kua tāparatia te tatauranga o ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo. Kua riro i te whānau ētahi atu tohu mātauranga i te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo. Ko te aronga ngātahi o te whānau o tēnei wā ki te whakapai tonu, e hāpai ana i te tū pakari o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei.
Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā tikanga Māori, ā, e whakawhanake ana i tō rātou ngākau titikaha i a rātou e whakamahi ana i te reo Māori.
E whakakoia ana te whai wāhi o ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo. E hāpai ana ngā taumahi ako me ngā taunekeneke i te tūmāia o ngā tamariki ki te kōkiri i a rātou anō me te kawe ake i te ako. E noho wātea ana ki a rātou te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rauemi e whakaongaonga ana i tō rātou pākiki me ō rātou ngākau nuitanga. He māia te whakawhitiwhiti haere o ngā tamariki ki ngā tūmomo wāhi katoa - o roto, o waho hoki. Ka ngākau nui anō hoki ia tamaiti i ngā whai wāhitanga e whakaratohia ana ki te ārahi. He mātātoa tā rātou whai wāhi atu i runga i te ngākau nui.
E rumakina ana ngā tamariki ki te reo Māori me ngā tikanga Māori. Ko ngā taumahi o ia rā e whakatairanga ana i te whakamahinga a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. Ka whakanuia, ka whakamihia hoki ā rātou whakapuakitanga. Ka whakawhānuihia e ngā kaimahi ngā mōhiotanga o ngā tamariki ki te reo me ngā tikanga e whai pānga ana ki ngā tūmomo kaupapa, mā ā rātou taunekeneke. Ka whakamahia e ngā kaimahi ngā rautaki reo māmā e whai hua ana ki te akiaki i te whakapuakitanga o ngā tamariki i te reo Māori e mōhiotia ana e rātou. E whanake ana te ngākau titikaha o ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori.
E ako ana ngā tamariki i ngā uaratanga o te whānau e arahina ana ngā taunekeneke me te whanaungatanga ki ētahi atu. He hononga papai, he hononga manaaki hoki ō rātou ki ētahi atu. Ka aro wawe ngā kaimahi ki ngā matea o ngā tamariki. E manaakitia ana, e whakaaro nuitia ana, e aro nuitia ana hoki ngā tamariki katoa. Ka whakamahia e ngā kaimahi ngā tino rautaki e whakanui ana, e whakamana ana hoki i ia tamaiti. Ka whakapuaki i ngā karakia me ngā waiata hei whakapūmau i ngā uaratanga me ngā tūmanako o te whānau mō te āhua o te ako me te atawhai. He mauritau ngā tamariki, ā, kei te harikoa hoki ō rātou āhua.
He maha ngā whai wāhitanga o ngā tamariki, puta noa i te rā, ki te tūhura me te whai wāhi nui ki ngā taiao māoriori, tūturu hoki. Kua āta whakaritea ngā hōtaka taumahi hei whiringa mā ngā tamariki. E noho wātea ana ngā wāhi ako o waho ki ngā tamariki, kia āhei ai rātou ki te whai wāhi atu ki a Papatūānuku. Ko te whakapuaki i ngā karakia e hāpai ana i te ako a ngā tamariki i ngā atua Māori. E whanake haere ana ngā mōhiotanga o ngā tamariki ki ngā tikanga e whai pānga ana ki ā rātou taunekeneke ki te ao. Kei te mārama ngā tamariki i ngā tikanga e pā ana ki tō rātou taiao ake, taiao māoriori.
E whakatinana ana ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā tamariki i ngā mahere o Te Whāriki, ā, e whakatairanga ana hoki i ngā akoranga e pā ana ki ngā tikanga. Ka whakamahere ngātahi te whānau me ngā kaimahi. Ka whakamahia ngā mahere hei whakareri, hei whakariterite, hei whakahaere anō hoki i ngā taumahi e hono ana ki ngā kaupapa. Ka panoni haere ngā kaimahi i ngā whakaritenga me ngā taumahi i whakamaheretia ai, hei whakatutuki i te rerekē haere o ngā matea o ngā tamariki. He aronga, he nahanaha hoki tā ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. E noho wātea ana ki ngā whānau, ko ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. He pūkete ā ia tamaiti e tohu ana i ngā tūāhuatanga o ngā rārangi arowhai i whakatutukihia ai e ia, engari he āhuatanga tēnei hei whakawhānui ake tonu kia whai wāhi mai ai hoki ko ngā aromatawai o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki i runga i te āhua o Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira.
Ko te whakahaeretanga a te whānau e arotahi ana ki ngā tamariki me tō rātou atawhai. Kua whakapau kaha te whānau i te roanga o te tau kua pahure ake nei, ki te āta whakarite i te pakari o ngā mahi whakahaere, ā, kia māramahia hoki, kia arahina hoki e ngā tikanga. E tino tautokona ana ngā kaimahi i roto i ō rātou tūranga me tō rātou whakawhanaketanga ngaio. Kua tuhia te mahere rautaki e mau ana i ngā whāinga o te whānau, ā, e hāngai ana tēnei ki ngā tino wāhanga hei whakatupu, hei whakapai ake hoki mō ngā tamariki. Ka arotakengia, ka māramahia hoki ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e ngā mema o te whānau. Whakatakotohia ai ngā pūrongo ki ngā hui ā-whānau i ia te wā. He pai te taetae atu o te whānau ki ngā hui. E whai hua ana ngā huarahi whakawhitiwhiti kōrero kia noho mōhio ai te whānau ki ngā whakawhanaketanga i te kōhanga reo. E whiwhi ana ngā tamariki i ngā painga e ahu mai ai i te pakari o ngā mahi whakahaere ki te kōhanga reo.
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 whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whetū o Te Ao Mārama i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whetū o Te Ao Mārama is in Flaxmere, Hastings. Children and whānau have strong links to each other through whakapapa. Since the previous ERO review in 2015, the whānau has increased the maximum roll of their licence to cater for the increased community demand for kōhanga reo. The actual roll has since doubled. More qualifications have been attained by whānau through Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust (TKRNT). A shared focus on continual improvement amongst existing whānau positions the kōhanga reo well for the future.
Children show their understanding of tikanga Māori and are developing their confidence as they use te reo Māori
Children’s place at the kōhanga reo is affirmed. Learning activities and interactions for children help them to build confidence to self-manage and take responsibility for learning. They have easy access to a range of resources that stimulate their curiosity and interests. Children move with confidence between spaces, indoors and outside. Individuals enjoy leadership opportunities provided. They are active and willing participants.
Children are immersed in te reo Māori and tikanga Māori. Daily activities for learning promote the use of te reo Māori by children. Their contributions are praised and acknowledged. Children’s knowledge of the language and tikanga associated with kaupapa is extended by kaimahi during interactions. Simple and effective language strategies are used by kaimahi to prompt children to express what they know in te reo Māori. Children are developing confidence to use te reo Māori.
Children learn about whānau values that guide interactions and relationships with others. They have formed positive and caring relationships with others. Kaimahi respond promptly to children’s needs. Care, concern and attention is given to all children. Deliberate strategies are used by kaimahi to acknowledge and affirm each child. Karakia and waiata are used to reinforce whānau values and expectations for learning and care. Children are settled and appear happy.
Children have lots of opportunity in the day to explore and interact in their natural and physical environments. Programmes of activities are well organised for children to select. The outdoors provides easy access to areas of learning that enable children to interact with Papatūānuku. The use of karakia support children’s learning about atua Māori. Children are developing a greater awareness of tikanga to inform the way they interact in te ao. Children understand tikanga associated with their immediate physical and natural surroundings.
Children’s interests inform Te Whāriki planning, and promotes learning about tikanga. Whānau and kaimahi plan together. Plans are used to prepare, organise and manage activities linked to kaupapa. Kaimahi modify practices and planned activities to respond to the changing needs of children. There is direction and structure in learning for children. Information about children’s learning is made available to whānau. There are portfolios for each child that shows what they have achieved based on checklists, however these can be expanded further to include assessment of children’s learning in relation to Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira.
Whānau management is focused on children and their care. The whānau has worked hard over the past year to ensure management practices are sound, well understood, and guided by tikanga. Kaimahi are well supported in their employment and professional development. A strategic plan with whānau goals is documented and focused on specific areas of growth and improvement for children. Policies and procedures are reviewed and understood by members. Regular reporting occurs at whānau hui. There is good attendance by whānau at hui. Effective methods of communication are used to keep whānau informed on kōhanga reo developments. Children benefit from sound management of the kōhanga reo.
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 and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
the whānau continue to use and develop internal evaluation practice to enhance whānau management and Te Whāriki developments for children.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whetū o Te Ao Mārama will be in three years.

Ko ngā whakataunga mō ngā whakapuakitanga e pā ana ki tēnei arotake, ko te titiro ki:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whetū o Te Ao Mārama ki Pāharakeke, ki Heretaunga. He tino hononga ā-whakapapa tō ngā tamariki me te whānau. E noho pūmau ana te whānau ki te whakapai ake i ngā putanga mō ā rātou tamariki. He mātātoa te whai wāhi atu a te whānau ki te purapura. Ka arotahi rātou ki te whakatupu haere i ō rātou mōhiotanga ki ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga mahi, me te ako i ngā whakaritenga papai mō te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. Ko ā rātou kaupapa matua i tēnei wā, ka hāngai ki te whakapakari ake i te āheinga o te whānau i roto i te reo Māori. He pai te whakahaeretanga o te arotake whaiaro, ā, ka whakamahia kia whakapai tonuhia ngā āhuatanga mō ngā tamariki.
Ka aromātai tēnei arotake a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te ahunga whakamua a te whānau i roto i ngā wāhanga i tāutuhia ai ki te pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te Poutū-te-rangi o 2013, hei whakawhanake ake.

He ngāwari te whakawhiti haere a ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e āta mātakina ana e ngā kaimahi me te whānau, hei whakatutuki i ā rātou whakaritenga e pā ana ki te mātakitaki tamariki. Ko te kaha tae ā-tinana atu o ngā mema o te whānau ki te kōhanga reo, kua whai pānga ki te tatauranga ki waenga i ngā pākeke me ngā tamariki, me te whai wāhi atu a ngā tamariki ki ngā taumahi. Kua whakawhanakehia e ngā kaimahi me te whānau tētahi rārangi mahi me ētahi aratohu hei hāpai i tā rātou noho pūmau ki ngā whakaritenga e tika ana mō te mātakitaki tamariki. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā te whakapaitanga ake o ngā mahi mātakitaki i whakatinanahia ai.
He pēhea rawa te noho whakahihiri, whakaongaonga hoki a ngā tamariki ki te hōtaka akoranga?

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whetū o Te Ao Mārama ki Pāharakeke, ki Heretaunga. E tino mātakina ana ngā tamariki i a rātou e whai ana i ō rātou ngākau nuitanga, ā, e tūhura haere ana hoki i te kōhanga reo. Ka kōkiri ngā tamariki i a rātou anō, ā, ka whai wāhi atu ki ngā akoranga e whai pūtake ana. Ko te waiora o ngā tamariki me ā rātou akoranga, e wāhi pānga ana ki ngā mahi a te whānau me tā rātou whakatau i ngā whakaritenga. Tērā ka hoki mai anō te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i roto i ngā tau e toru.

The Education Review Office (ERO) is the government department that, as part of its work, reviews kōhanga reo throughout Aotearoa. ERO’s reports provide information for whānau, hapū, iwi and communities.
A supplementary review is undertaken at the discretion of the Deputy Chief Review Officer Māori in the Education Review Office (ERO).
A supplementary review evaluates the extent and effectiveness of actions a kōhanga reo has taken towards addressing issues specified in its previous ERO review and/or any additional areas identified since that review.
This supplementary review is based on an evaluation of the performance of the kōhanga reo governing body and management in relation to areas identified in the previous 2013 ERO report or issues identified since that review. The terms of reference for this review are to investigate:
Mana Whenua - supervision
programme planning
areas of non-compliance
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whetū o Te Ao Marama is in Flaxmere, Hastings. Children and whānau have strong links to each other through whakapapa. Whānau are committed to improving outcomes for their children. Whānau are actively involved in purapura. They are focussed on growing their knowledge of their roles and responsibilities and learning about good practice for managing the kōhanga reo. Their current priorities include building whānau capability in te reo Māori. Self review is managed well and used to inform continual improvements for children.
This ERO review evaluates the progress the whānau have made in the areas for development identified in the ERO report of March 2013. These included the supervision of children, programme planning and the securing of kōhanga reo gates.
To what extent are children supervised throughout the day?
Children are well supervised as they follow their interests and explore at kōhanga reo.
Children move with ease in an environment where kaimahi and whānau are vigilant in their supervision practices. The high presence of whānau members has a positive influence on adult to child ratios and children’s engagement in activities. Kaimahi and whānau have developed a schedule and guidelines to assist them maintain effective supervision practices. Children benefit from the improved supervision measures that have been put in place.
To what extent are children excited and stimulated in the learning programme?
Children are self motivated and engaged in meaningful learning.
Children are enthusiastic and busy learners. They receive well planned, stimulating learning programmes. Plans are detailed, include whānau views and effectively guide kaimahi delivery. There is a strong emphasis on learning and exploration through te ao Māori contexts. Children’s learning experiences and successes are regularly monitored and evaluated.
How well are children secured within the kōhanga reo boundaries?
Whānau take all reasonable steps to keep children secure within the kōhanga reo boundaries.
The whānau take all reasonable steps to ensure children are secure within the kōhanga reo premises. All exterior gates are fitted with secure and appropriate locks for children. Children learn in an environment where there safety is paramount.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whetū o Te Ao Marama is in Flaxmere, Hastings. Children are well supervised as they follow their interest and explore at kōhanga reo. Children are self motivated and engaged in meaningful learning. Children’s wellbeing and learning influence whānau practice and decision making. ERO is likely to return in three years.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whetū o Te Ao Marama will be in three years.
