View on mapKua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, ngā kaimahi me ngā hapori ki te whakawhanake i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i te kawenga takohanga me te whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā whānau, ngā hapū, me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo ki Papatoetoe Whānau ki Tāmaki-makau-rau ki te tonga. Ka whakarato te whānau i tētahi taiao ako e aro matua ana ki te reo Māori. E wātea tonu ana te tūranga kaiwhakarite, heoi, e mahia ngā kawenga ā-tari e ngā kaimahi me te whānau.
E whakaratohia ana mā ngā mokopuna te tangongitanga o ngā whai wāhitanga ako hei whakaatu i tō rātou māramatanga ki te reo Māori.
E ako ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao e whakatairanga ana i te reo Māori me te whanaungatanga. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki pērā i te tāruarua, te whakamihi, te whāngai kupu, me ngā tohutohu, hei whakatō i te reo hou. Ka hāpai ngā rauemi ataata me ngā pikitia i te whakatōpūtanga o ngā mokopuna i ngā akoranga reo. Ka whai wāhi katoa atu ngā mokopuna ki ngā taumahi e pā ana ki te waiata, te kaute, me te mihimihi, ā, ka ngahau, ka harikoa hoki rātou. Ka kaha whakahua ake ngā tuākana i a rātou e kōrero ana, e tāwhai ana hoki i ngā kīanga māmā, i ngā pēpi e whakaatu ana i tō rātou māramatanga mā ō rātou kanohi me ō rātou reo ā-tinana. Ko ngā karakia me ngā hīmene he whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te ako i te hanganga reo. E ākina ana te ārahi a ngā mokopuna i ngā mihimihi i te wā ka pupū ake aua tikanga, ā, ka kaha whakawhanaunga atu ki ngā manuhiri me ētahi atu. Kei te mārie, kei te mauritau hoki te āhua o te kōhanga reo, ā, ka poipoi i te tākare me te harikoa. He ngāwari ngā taunekeneke a ngā kaimahi ki ngā mokopuna, ā, ka whakamana hoki. E ākina ana te whakawhanaunga o ngā mokopuna ki waenga i a rātou anō. Ka āta arahina rātou puta noa i ā rātou mahinga, hei hāpai i ngā whakawhitinga. E whakawhanake ana te ngākau titikaha o ngā mokopuna ki te whakapuaki māhorahora i ō rātou whakaaro ki te taha o ō rātou hoa, ki ētahi atu hoki mā te reo Māori.
Kua whakaritea e ngā kaimahi ngā tukanga mō te whakamahere i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whiriwhiri ngātahitia ngā kaupapa ako e ngā whānau me ngā kaimahi i ngā wānanga. Ko te whai wāhi nui a te whānau ki ngā mahi whakamahere, e miramira ana i te whai kawenga ngātahi ki te ako a ngā mokopuna me tō rātou whakawhanaketanga. Ka ahu mai ngā ariā ā-tau i ngā wāhanga o te tau me ngā atua Māori. Kei ngā tuhinga mahere, ko ngā mahere ā-tau, ngā mahere ā-wāhanga, me ngā mahere ā-wiki. Kua tuhia ngā kaupapa whānui, ngā kaupapa whāiti, me ngā whāinga hei ārahi i te whakatinanatanga o ngā taumahi. E noho ngākau nui ana ngā kaimahi ki ngā rongoā Māori, ā, ka tuitui i ētahi tikanga rongoā māmā ki ngā taumahi mahi, i ngā wā e tika ana. Ko te whāinga o te aronga ki ngā rongoā Māori, he whakahōhonu i te māramatanga me te whakatinanatanga o ngā mokopuna me ngā whānau ki aua tikanga. E whai hua ana ngā mokopuna nā tētahi hōtaka akoranga e aro nui ana ki te ahurea.
E whakawhanake ana te whānau i tō rātou māramatanga ki ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga mahi, ā, e ākina ana tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Ka aro pū rātou ki te reo Māori me ngā tikanga Māori, ā, ka kitea tō rātou ngākau nuitanga ki te tupu ngātahi mā te taetae atu ki ngā wānanga, ngā akoranga, me ngā kaupapa ako i whakaraupapahia ai ki te kaupapa here mō te reo Māori. Tū ai ngā hui i ia te wā, ā, ka hāpai i te whānau ki te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero mō ngā tūmomo tūāhuatanga o ngā whakahaeretanga i te kōhanga reo, tae atu ki ngā take pūtea, te ako a ngā mokopuna, te mahere rautaki, me ngā take e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. He pai te whakahaere a te whānau i ngā pūtea. Ka ū ki te tuhi haere i ngā rēhita, ā, kua whakatakotohia ngā pūnaha e pā ana ki te whakahaere i ngā tūāhuatanga mōrearea, hei āta whakatau i te noho haumaru, i te waiora hoki o ngā mokopuna i roto i ngā wāhanga whakahaere katoa e whai pānga ana. E whakaraupapa ana te mahere ā-tau i ngā wā matua mō te whakatutuki haere i ngā mahi i te tari. Kei te pakari te whakahaere i ngā kaimahi, ā, nā tēnā, kei te pūkete a ngā kaimahi ngā tuhinga whiwhi mahi e tika ana, me ngā tuhinga e arowhai ai i te haumaru. Kua whakatinanahia tētahi pūnaha arohaehae mō ngā kaimahi. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Kāhore e kitea ana te aromātai o roto, te arotake whaiaro rānei. E mōhio ana te whānau, ka whakakaha te arotake whaiaro pakari i te whakahaeretanga whānui tonu o te kōhanga reo. Tērā te maha o ngā wāhanga whakahaere hei whakapai ake mā te whakatakoto i tētahi huringa arotake whaiaro.
Me whakapakari ake i ngā mahi aromatawai me te aromātai hōtaka. Ahakoa ka tuhi ngā kaimahi i te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna ki ngā kōnae mokopuna me ngā mātai tamaiti, kāhore i te riterite te āhua o taua whakaritenga. Me riterite ake te aronga ki te tuhi haere i ngā akoranga e tohu ana i te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna i roto i te roanga o te wā. Me titiro ki te aromātai hōtaka. He uaua ki te tātari i te āhua o ngā whakapaitanga ki te hōtaka akoranga ka whakatairanga ake i te ako a ngā mokopuna. Ka taea te ako a ngā mokopuna te whakatairanga ake, mā te riterite, mā te nahanaha hoki o ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te aromatawai me te aromātai hōtaka.
Me arotake i te tūtohinga kia hāngai ai ngā kaupapa here ki ngā herenga ā-ture o te wā, ā, kia whakahou ake anō hoki i te hītori o te kōhanga reo. Me taunga ki te whānau me ngā kaimahi te katoa o ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga, me te aromātai, hei whakapakari ake i te māramatanga me te mōhiotanga o te whānau ki ngā kaupapa here matua me ngā tukanga matua e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, tae atu ki te Children's Act 2014. He mea nui kia mārama ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki te whai pānga nui o te ture ki ō rātou tūranga. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā ka aro nui ngā whakahaeretanga ki te arotake whaiaro, te whai takohanga, me te whakapai tonutanga.
Me auau ake te whakatutukitanga o ngā akoako hōneatanga ohotata. Ahakoa kua whakatakotohia e te whānau tētahi rārangi akoako ā-marama mō te ahi, te rū whenua, me te noho rāhui, kāhore anō kia whakahaerehia, kāhore anō rānei kia tuhia ngā akoako riterite, ngā akoako auau. Kei te aro nui ki te haumaru o ngā mokopuna i te wā e whakamaheretia ana, e whakamātauhia ana hoki ngā akoako ohotata.
Kei te mārama ki te whānau tā rātou aronga rautaki, engari kāhore he mahere mahi hei aroturuki i te whakatutukitanga o ō rātou whāinga me ō rātou tūmanako. Me whakarite te whānau i tētahi mahere mahi e taea ana te whakahaere, hei āta whakatau i te tino tautoko me ngā tino whai wāhitanga i roto i te mātauranga. Ka puāwai ngā mokopuna i te wā e whakaarohia ana ngā whāinga pae tawhiti.
I te wā o te arotake, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha a te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai pānga nui ai ki te waiora o ngā tamariki, arā, ki:
Ko te tikanga, ka whakatairanga ngā kōhanga reo katoa i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, ā, ka arotake i ia te wā i tā rātou whakatutukitanga i ngā herenga ā-ture.
Hei whakatutuki i ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri te whānau ki te:
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo kia whakawhanakehia tētahi mahere mahi ki te taha o te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, me te whakatinana i ngā whakaritenga arotake whaiaro, hei whakatutuki i ngā whakaritenga matua me ngā herenga ā-ture i tautuhia ai kia whāia.

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’s reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo ki Papatoetoe Whānau is in South Auckland. Whānau provide a learning environment where te reo Māori is a priority. The kaiwhakarite position remains vacant and this means that administration responsibilities are shared between kaimahi and whānau.
Mokopuna are provided with various learning opportunities to demonstrate their understanding of te reo Māori.
Mokopuna learn in an environment that promotes te reo Māori and whanaungatanga. Kaimahi use strategies such as repetition, praise, prompts and instructions to embed new language. Visual aids and pictures support mokopuna in consolidating language learning. Waiata, counting and mihimihi are activities that mokopuna participate fully with enjoyment and happiness. Tuākana are expressive as they speak and mimic simple phrases, while pēpi demonstrate their understanding through facial expressions and body language. Karakia and hīmene provide opportunities for mokopuna to learn about language structure. Mokopuna are encouraged to lead mihimihi and when the situation arises and engage fully with manuhiri and others. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful, fostering enthusiasm and happiness. Kaimahi interact with mokopuna in a soft and affirming manner. Mokopuna are encouraged to form meaningful relationships with one another. They are gently guided throughout their routine which supports transitions. Mokopuna are developing confidence to naturally share their thoughts and ideas with peers and others in te reo Māori.
Kaimahi have established processes for planning the learning programme. Kaupapa ako are collectively selected by whānau and kaimahi during wānanga. Whānau participation and inclusion in planning highlights the collective responsibility to mokopuna learning and development. Themes for the year are based on ngā wāhanga o te tau and atua Māori. Planning documents include mahere ā tau, mahere ā wāhanga, and mahere ā wiki. Kaupapa whānui, kaupapa whāiti and whāinga are documented to guide the implementation of activities. Kaimahi are passionate about rongoā Māori and integrate simple rongoā practices into learning activities, where appropriate. This focus on rongoā Māori aims to deepen both mokopuna and whānau understanding and practice of these traditions. Mokopuna benefit from a culturally responsive learning programme.
Whānau are developing their understanding of roles and responsibilities and are encouraged to participate in the management of the kōhanga reo. They prioritise te reo Māori and tikanga Māori, demonstrating commitment to collective growth through attending wānanga, classes and courses as outlined in the reo Māori policy. Regular hui allow whānau to discuss various aspects of kōhanga reo operations, including financial matters, mokopuna learning, the strategic plan and health and safety matters. Financial management is handled well by the whānau. Registers are consistently maintained, and risk management systems are in place to ensure mokopuna safety and wellbeing in all relevant areas of operations. The annual plan outlines key dates and administrative tasks that need to be completed. Sound personnel management ensures all kaimahi files contain the necessary employment documentation and safety checking. An appraisal system for kaimahi is implemented. Mokopuna are at the centre of whānau whakahaere practices.
Internal evaluation or self-review is not evident. Whānau recognise that robust self-review will strengthen the overall management of the kōhanga reo. There are a number of areas of operations that can be improved with the establishment of a self-review cycle.
Assessment practice and programme evaluation requires strengthening. While kaimahi document mokopuna learning and progress in kōnae mokopuna and mātai tamaiti, this practice lacks consistency. There is a need for a consistent approach to documenting learning that shows mokopuna progress overtime. Programme evaluation requires attention. It is difficult to gauge how improvements are made to the learning programme to enhance learning for mokopuna. Mokopuna learning can be enriched through consistent and deliberate assessment and programme evaluation practices.
The tūtohinga needs to be reviewed to align policies with current legislation, and to ensure that the kōhanga reo history is current. Whānau and kaimahi need to be familiar with all policies and procedures and evaluation to strengthen whānau understanding and awareness of key health and safety policies and procedures, including the Children’s Act 2014. It is important for kaimahi and whānau to understand the importance of the act in relation to their roles. Mokopuna benefit when operations emphasise self-review, accountability and continuous improvement.
The regularity of emergency evacuation drills requires attention. While whānau have recently established a monthly drill schedule for fire, earthquake and lockdown, regular and consistent drills are yet to be conducted and recorded. Mokopuna safety is prioritised when emergency drills are planned for and practiced.
Whānau are clear about their strategic direction, however, there is no action plan in place to monitor the achievement of their goals and objectives. Whānau need to establish a clear and actionable plan to ensure mokopuna receive the best possible educational support and opportunities. Mokopuna thrive when long term goals are considered.
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.
To meet compliance requirements they must:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau recommend developing an action plan with the Tari-a-rohe and implement self-review practices to address the key next steps and non-compliances identified.

Ka whakahaeretia tētahi aromātai tāpiri i runga o te whakataunga ā te Toihau Arotake i Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga.
E aromātai ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te whānuitanga me te whai hua o ngā mahi ā te kōhanga reo ki te whakatutuki i ngā take i whakatakotohia ai i roto i te pūrongo aromātai mātauranga o mua atu i tēnei, me ētahi atu wāhanga rānei i tāutuhia ai whai muri o taua aromātai.
Ko tēnei aromātai tāpiri i whakaritea i runga i te aromātai o te whakatutukitanga a te whānau i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo, ki ngā wāhanga i tāutuhia ai e te pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, i mua atu, me ngā take rānei kua tāutuhia whai muri o taua aromātai. Ko ngā whakataunga mō ngā whakapuakitanga e pā ana ki tēnei aromātai, ko te titiro ki:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo ki Papatoetoe Whānau ki Papatoetoe i Tāmaki-makau-rau. Kāhore anō tētahi kia whakatūngia ki te tūranga o te kaiwhakahaere, heoi, e kawe kētia ana aua mahi e te whānau. Kua tīmata anō te whānau ki te kawe atu i te whakahaeretanga o ā rātou take pūtea. Kua ara ake ngā whakawhanaketanga e whai hua ana mō te whānau, whai muri i te arotake o mua.
Kua whakatinanahia e te whānau te tukanga o te arotake o roto e kōkirihia ana i ia te wā, ā, kua kōrerohia, kua tuhia hoki ki ngā meneti ētahi āhuatanga matua o te kōhanga reo. He pai te taetae atu a te whānau ki ngā hui o ia marama. Kua whakahoungia te tūtohinga, ā, e whakaraupapa ana i ngā tūmanako me ngā aratohu e noho mārama ana mō te whakahaeretanga me ngā whakaritenga o te kōhanga reo. Kua arotakengia ngā whakaritenga katoa e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, ā, e hāngai pū ana hoki ēnei ki ngā herenga ā-ture o te wā. Ko te waiora, te noho haumaru, me te oranga o ngā tamariki te aronga matua o te whānau i nāianei.
Kua whakaritea ngā mahi e arohaehae ana i ngā kaimahi i nāianei. Kua whakatinanahia e te whānau te tukanga i whakatakotohia ai e te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo. Ko tā te huarahi arohaehae, he whakaraupapa hoki i ngā whāinga ngaio e whakapakari ake ai i ngā pūmanawa o ngā kaimahi, ā, e whai pānga ana hoki ki ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi o te wā. Kua oti ngā arohaehae katoa. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki i ngā hōtaka akoranga e whakapuakihia ana mā te whai wāhi atu o ngā mōhiotanga me ngā pūkenga o ngā kaimahi ki te kounga o te ako.
He take tonu e whai pānga ana ki te noho haumaru o ngā tamariki. Kāhore anō te kēti o roto kia āta whakapūmautia ki te tuanui. Ka whara pea tētahi o ngā tamariki, o te whānau. Me whakatika wawe i tēnei tūāhuatanga. Kei te pā tōraro tēnei ki te noho haumaru o ngā tamariki.
I tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā wāhanga kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture. Kia tutukihia ai e te whānau o te kōhanga reo ā rātou herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:

A supplementary evaluation is undertaken at the discretion of the Chief Review Officer of the Education Review Office (ERO).
ERO evaluates the extent and effectiveness of actions a kōhanga reo has taken towards addressing issues specified in its previous ERO evaluation and/or any additional areas identified since that evaluation.
This supplementary evaluation is based on an evaluation of the performance of the kōhanga reo governing body and management in relation to areas identified in the previous ERO report or issues identified since that evaluation. The terms of reference for this evaluation area to investigate:
Te Kōhanga Reo ki Papatoetoe Whānau is situated in Papatoetoe, Auckland. The position of kaiwhakahaere has not yet been filled so therefore this role remains the responsibility of the whānau. The whānau have resumed management of their financial matters. There have been positive developments for the whanau since the previous review.
The whānau have implemented an ongoing process of internal review with key aspects of kōhanga reo discussed and recorded in minutes. Whanau have good attendance at monthly hui. The charter has been updated and provides clear expectations and guidelines for the management and operations of the kōhanga reo. All health and safety practices have been reviewed and align with current legislation. Children’s wellbeing, safety and welfare is now a priority for the whanau.
Appraisals for kaimahi are now in place. Whanau have implemented the process established by the Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust. Appraisals includes the setting of professional goals to strengthen the capability of Kaimahi and align with current job descriptions. All appraisals have been completed. Children benefit from learning programmes where kaimahi knowledge and skills contribute to the quality of learning.
There remains a safety issue for children. The internal gate is not securely fixed to the ceiling. This could lead to injury to children or whanau. This requires immediate attention. Children’s safety is compromised.
ERO identified areas of non-compliance. In order for the kōhanga reo whānau to meet compliance requirements they need to:
[R46 (1) (2) & R45 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; HS & PF criteria. Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo ki Papatoetoe Whānau will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo ki Papatoetoe Whānau ki te hapori o Papatoetoe, i Tāmaki-makau-rau. E toru tekau tau ki muri te kōhanga reo i whakatūngia ai, ā, kei Middlemore Park. He tokoiti tonu ngā tamariki ki te rārangi ingoa. Kei raro tēnei kōhanga reo i te maru o te tari a-rohe a Tainui o te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, ā, kei Kirikiriroa taua tari e tū ana.
He pai te nuinga o ngā taunekeneke a ngā tamariki ki ētahi atu.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao ako pai. He maha ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te whakawhanake i tō rātou māramatanga ki te whanaungatanga. Ka ako te whānau ki te taha o ā rātou tamariki, i a rātou e mahi ana, ā, e tākaro ana hoki. Ka rongo ngā tamariki i te aroha, te manaaki, me te āwhina hoki o ngā pākeke. E hāpai ana aua āhuatanga i ngā tamariki ki te āta taunekeneke me te āta whakawhanaunga hoki ki ētahi atu. Ka tūmāia ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo.
He mauritau ngā tamariki i roto i ā rātou akoranga me ā rātou tākaro. He mārama ngā mahinga, ngā taumahi, me ngā kaupapa i āta whakaritea ai, ā, he ngāwari anō hoki te rere o aua tūāhuatanga. He harikoa, he mauritau hoki ngā tamariki ki te taha o ō rātou pākeke e noho ngākau nui ana ki tō rātou waiora. Kei ngā tamariki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rauemi hei tūhura i roto i ngā akoranga. Puta noa i te rā, he maha ngā wā e āhei ana ngā tamariki ki whiriwhiri i ā rātou ake taumahi ako. Kei te tino mōhio ngā tamariki ki ō rātou taiao, a, kua waia hoki ki ngā rauemi. He maha ngā wā ka āta kitea tō rātou tino ngākau nui ki te whiriwhiri me te kōkiri tonu i ā rātou ake akoranga. He ākonga tākare ngā tamariki.
He pai te aro nui o ngā tamariki ki ngā tohutohu i roto i te reo Māori. Ka ārahi, ka aroturuki hoki te kuia i te whakamahinga a ngā kaimahi, ngā tamariki, me te whānau i te reo Māori. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero i ngā wā tākaro me ngā wā ako. Ka patapatai, ka kōrerorero hoki rātou ki ngā tamariki tuākana, ā, ka hāpai anō hoki rātou i te whakautu kōrero a ngā pēpi mā te reo ā-tinana. He pakari ngā tamariki tuākana ki te whai wāhi atu ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo karakia me ngā tūmomo waiata, ā, ka hāpai tēnei i te whakawhanaketanga reo. E noho kipakipa ana te whānau ki te ako i te reo Māori, i tā rātou rongo i ā rātou tamariki e kōrero ana i te reo Māori. E whanake ana ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
E āta whakaarohia ana, e āta whakamaheretia ana hoki ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā tamariki. Ka kitea ki ngā mahere hōtaka, te noho o te whakawhanaketanga reo Māori hei aronga matua, me te whakawhanaketanga anō hoki o ngā tamariki hei ākonga tūmāia. Ka whakamahia te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo huarahi aromatawai, hei whakatakoto haere i ngā wheako ako a ngā tamariki i te kōhanga reo, me te whakapuaki anō hoki i aua tūāhuatanga ki ngā whānau. He aronga ngātahi tō te tukanga whakamahere, ā, ka whai wāhi mai te whānau. E whai pūtake ana ngā mahi ki te whakamahere i ngā hōtaka akoranga, ā, ka whakahāngaitia anō hoki ki ngā matea o ngā tamariki.
Tērā ētahi āhuatanga o te whakahaeretanga i te kōhanga reo hei whakawhanake ake. Kāhore te tūtohinga e hāngai ana ki te wā nei, ā, kāhore hoki e whai pānga ana ki te āhua o te whānau i tēnei wā tonu. Kāhore i te rawaka ētahi o ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. Kei te tari ā-rohe tonu o te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo te whakahaeretanga o ngā pūtea. Kāhore anō kia oti te arohaehae i ngā kaimahi. Me mārama ngā hononga ki waenga i ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi me ngā arohaehae ā ngā kaimahi, hei tātari i ngā matea me ngā whai wāhitanga ako ngaio, whakawhanaketanga ngaio hoki o ngā kaimahi.
Me whakapakari ake te arotake o roto. Ahakoa ka whakawhiti kōrero te whānau i ngā tino take i ngā hui o ia marama, he whāiti tonu te pūrongo mā ngā āhuatanga matua o ngā whakahaeretanga i te kōhanga reo. I tēnei wā, ka whakahaere te kaiako i te tari, ā, ka mahi anō hoki ki te taha o ngā tamariki. Ka āwhina ētahi atu mema o te whānau i ngā wā e taea ana e rātou. Kāhore i te whānau tētahi kaiwhakahaere hei āta whakarite i te auau me te pūmau o ngā pūnaha i te tari.
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 tutukihia ai e te whānau ngā 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 ki Papatoetoe Whānau i roto ngā tau e rua.

Te Kōhanga Reo ki Papatoetoe Whānau is in Papatoetoe, Auckland. The kōhanga reo was established 30 years ago and is situated on Middlemore Park. The whānau continue to face low roll numbers. This kōhanga reo is under the umbrella of the Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust Tainui district office based in Hamilton.
Tamariki have mostly positive interactions with others.
Children learn in a positive learning environment. There are many opportunities for children to develop an understanding of whanaungatanga. Whānau learn beside their children as they work and play. Children experience aroha, manaaki and āwhina from adults. These support children to interact and relate to others positively. Children are confident in the kōhanga reo.
Children are contented as they learn and play. Clear routines, activities and events are well established and flow smoothly. Children are happy and settled with familiar adults that are committed to their wellbeing. Children have a range of resources for exploration and learning. There are many instances throughout the day where children can choose their own learning activities. Children know their environments well and are familiar with the resources. They often show a strong interest in selecting and managing their own learning. Children are keen learners.
Children respond positively to instruction in te reo Māori. The kuia guides and monitors the use of te reo Māori by kaimahi, children and whānau. Kaimahi encourage dialogue during play and learning. They use questions and conversations with the older children and support babies to respond using body language. Older tamariki confidently participate in a wide range of karakia and waiata to support language development. Whānau are motivated to learn te reo Māori when they hear their children speaking. Children are developing as speakers of te reo Māori.
Children’s interests are well considered and planned for. Programme plans reflect te reo Māori development as priority, and children’s development as confident learners. A range of assessment practices are used to record children’s learning experiences at kōhanga reo and share these with whānau. A collaborative planning process includes whānau input. Planning programmes of learning is meaningful and tailored to children’s needs.
There are some aspects of the kōhanga reo operations that need developing. The charter is out of date and does not reflect the current whānau context. Some health and safety practices are inadequate. Financial management is still with the local Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust Office. Kaimahi appraisals have not been completed. There should be clear links between job descriptions and kaimahi appraisals to determine professional learning and development needs and opportunities for kaimahi.
Internal review requires strengthening. While the whānau discuss important issues at the monthly hui, reporting against key aspects of kōhanga reo operations are limited. Currently, the kaiako has a dual role managing administration in office and also working with the children. Other whānau members help out when they can. The whānau does not have a kaiwhakahaere to ensure that there is consistency and maintenance of office systems.
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 ki Papatoetoe Whānau will be within two years.
