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 o Te Kupenga ki Ōtara, ki Tāmaki-makau-rau ki te tonga. E noho ngākau nui ana te whānau ki te whakapūmau i te tupu tonutanga o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei, hei painga mō ngā mokopuna. Ā tērā tau, ā te tau 2025 rātou whakanui ai i te ekenga o te kōhanga reo ki te 40 tau.
He ngākau titikaha ō ngā mokopuna, kei te pakari hoki rātou hei ākonga ki tētahi kōhanga reo e tautoko ana i tō rātou tuakiri me ō rātou hononga.
E ako ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao e whakatairanga ana i tō rātou tuakiri, ā, e whakatupu ana i tā rātou whakamahinga o te reo Māori. Kōrero ai ngā kaimahi i te reo Māori anake, ā, ka whakamahi rātou i ngā rautaki e tika ana ki te akiaki me te whakatairanga i te māramatanga me te whakaputa i te reo, pērā i te whakatauira, i te whāngai kupu, me te whakamihi. Nā te ngahau me te whai pānga hoki o ngā taumahi ako, ka whai wāhi nui ngā mokopuna ki ngā akoranga e hāngai pū ana ki te whakarahi ake i ō rātou puna kupu. Kei te mahana, kei te hihiri hoki te taiao ako, ā, ka whai pānga nui ki te tuakiri o ngā mokopuna me ngā kaupapa ako. Ka manaaki, ka aroha hoki ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna, ā, ka puāwai hoki aua tūāhuatanga ki te whanonga a ngā tuākana, i tō rātou whakaute, tō rātou aroha hoki mō ō rātou tēina. E mōhio ana, e waia ana hoki ngā mokopuna ki ngā tikanga o tō rātou kōhanga reo. Ka whakahono rātou ki ngā tikanga me ngā ritenga e whakapakari ana i tō rātou aronga toi whenuatanga. Ka toro atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā karakia me ngā whakamoemiti hei tohu i te whakawhiti atu ki ngā tūmomo kaupapa o te hōtaka akoranga. Kei te pakari ngā mokopuna ki te kawe atu i ngā whai wāhitanga ki te ārahi, ā, he ngāwari ki a rātou te ārahi mā te manawa whakahī, me te mana. Kei te mauritau, kei te harikoa hoki ngā mokopuna hei ākonga, ā, kei te pakari rātou ki tō rātou tuakiri hei kaikōrero o te reo Māori mō meāke nei.
Kua āta whakaritea ngā mahere hōtaka me te aromatawai mokopuna. He aronga ngātahi ā ngā kaimahi ki te whakamahere i te tau me ngā wāhanga. Ka whakapakari ngā kaupapa Māori - pērā i Te Moana, i a Matariki, i Te Tiriti me Tama-nui-te-rā – i te tuakiritanga o ngā mokopuna. Ka whakatutukihia ngā matea o ngā mokopuna ki ngā mahere e hāngai pū ana ki ngā rōpū reanga, tae atu ki ngā pēpi, ngā piripoho, me ngā kōhungahunga. Aromatawai ai i te ako a ngā mokopuna i ia te wā. Kei ngā kōnae mokopuna ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki te ako a ngā mokopuna mā ngā paki ako e pā ana ki ia tamaiti, ki ngā rōpū tamariki hoki. Ka puāwai ngā mokopuna mā roto mai i te hōtaka akoranga e whakamaheretia ana hei whakatutuki i ō rātou matea ake.
E tupu ana te māramatanga o te whānau ki ō rātou tūranga whakahaere me ā rātou kawenga mahi whakahaere. Kei a rātou te tangongitanga o ngā pūkenga me ngā pūmanawa e hāpai ai i tēnā me tēnā i roto i taua tūranga, ā, ka arotahi ki te whakawhanake i ngā tūranga matua o te whānau whakahaere. Tū ai ngā hui ā-whānau i ia te wā, he pai te taetae atu, ā, ka āta whakamahi ngā whānau i ngā pae ā-ipurangi kia kaha ake ai te toro atu ki aua hui nui. I ngā hui, ka whiwhi ngā whānau i ngā pūrongo e hāpai ai i ngā whakataunga, tae atu hoki ki ngā pūrongo e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi, ngā ringawera, me ngā pūtea. Ko ngā matea o ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Kāhore he tino tukanga e pā ana ki te arotake whaiaro, ki te aromātai o roto rānei, hei ārahi i ngā whakahaeretanga ki te kōhanga reo. Nā tēnā, he maha ngā take hei whakatutuki, ā, ka taea te whai atu mā te whakarite me te whakatakoto i tētahi tukanga arotake whaiaro.
Me whakatutuki i ngā mahere rautaki me te aroturuki. Ahakoa e mōhio ana te whānau ki ō rātou whāinga me ō rātou wawata mō ngā mokopuna hei te pae tawhiti, kāhore he mahere rautaki, he mahere mahi rānei e aroturuki ai i ngā taipitopito kōrero mō te whakatutukitanga o ngā whāinga rautaki. Tē taea te toitūtanga te whakatūturu, hei painga mō ngā mokopuna.
Me titiro wawe ki ngā tukanga a te whānau mō te arotake kaupapa here. Ahakoa kua whakatinanahia e te whānau tētahi huringa e arotake ai i ngā kaupapa here, me aroturuki tonu hei āta whakatau i te whakatutukitanga o te arotake kaupapa here i ia te wā. He tūāhuatanga e whakamōrearea ana i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā mokopuna.
Whai muri i te arotake i te kōhanga reo, kua whakatutuki kētia e te whānau ngā whakaritenga matua e whai ake nei.
Kei te pai haere ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. Kua tuku atu ngā kaimahi i ngā whakaaturanga e tohu ana i te whakatutukitanga o ngā arowhai o ia rā mō ngā tūāhuatanga mōrearea i te kōhanga reo, me tētahi akoako ahi i whakamātauhia ai. E tautoko ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te aronga ake a te kōhanga reo ki te hauora me te haumaru o ngā mokopuna, ā, e akiaki ana i te whakapūmautanga o aua whakaritenga matua. E whakaarohia ana te hauora me te haumaru o ngā mokopuna.
Kua whakapakarihia te aromātai hōtaka. Kua whakatinanahia e ngā kaimahi ngā tukanga mō te tuhi haere i ngā hui a ngā kaimahi, ā, kua kōrerohia ngā wāhanga ki te aromātai hōtaka hei whakapai ake. E whai hua ana ngā mokopuna nā tētahi hōtaka akoranga e aromātaihia ana, ā, e aro pū ana hoki ki te whakapai tonutanga.
Kua whakatakotohia tētahi pūnaha arohaehae. He pūnaha arohaehae tā te whānau e tautuhi ana i ngā whāinga mō ngā kaimahi, ā, e whakatairanga ana i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. E tika ana kia whakatutukihia e te whānau te arohaehae i ia te wā, hei hāpai i ngā kaimahi i roto i ō rātou tūranga mahi. Ka whakatairangatia te ako a ngā mokopuna mā ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā kaimahi ki te whakawhanake i roto i ō rātou tūranga.
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 whakatau tahi ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo, kia toro atu te whānau ki te tautoko o te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, ki te whakatutuki i ngā whakaritenga matua i tautuhia ia ki tēnei pūrongo 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 o Te Kupenga is in Ōtara, South Auckland. The whānau are committed to sustain the future growth of the kōhanga reo for mokopuna. Next year, in 2025, they will celebrate the 40th year of service of the kōhanga reo.
Mokopuna are confident and secure learners in a kōhanga reo that supports their identity and connections.
Mokopuna learn in an environment that enhances their identity and grows their use of te reo Māori. Kaimahi speak only in te reo Māori, they use appropriate strategies such as role modelling, prompting, and praising to encourage and promote language understanding and use. Fun, relevant learning activities engage mokopuna in learning that has a specific focus on building their vocabulary. The learning environment is warm, vibrant and reflects mokopuna identity and learning events. Kaimahi are caring and loving towards mokopuna, which is reflected in the behaviour of tuākana who demonstrate respect and compassion for their tēina. Mokopuna are aware of and comfortable with tikanga of their kōhanga reo whare. They make connections to protocols and practices that strengthens their sense of belonging. Kaimahi use karakia and whakamoemiti as a signal to transition into different elements of the learning programme. Mokopuna are secure in leadership opportunities and lead with pride, ease and mana. Mokopuna are settled and happy learners who are secure in who they are as future speakers of te reo Māori.
Programme planning and mokopuna assessment are well established. Kaimahi have a collective approach to year and term planning. Kaupapa Māori such as Te Moana, Matariki, Te Tiriti, and Tama nui te Rā build mokopuna sense of identity. The needs of mokopuna are met in planning that is specific to age groups including pēpi, piripoho and kōhungahunga. Assessment of mokopuna learning occurs regularly. Mokopuna kōnae hold information about mokopuna learning in individual and group-based learning stories. Mokopuna thrive in a learning programme that is planned to meet their individual needs.
Whānau are growing understanding of whakahaere roles and responsibilities. They bring a range of skills and experiences to support each other in this role and have a focus on developing key roles in whānau whakahaere. Hui whānau are regular and well attended and whānau make the most of online platforms to increase attendance at these important hui. At hui, whānau receive reports including kaimahi, ringawera and financial reporting to support decision making. Mokopuna needs are at the heart of whānau whakahaere.
There is no clear process of self-review or internal evaluation in place to guide the operations of the kōhanga reo. As a result, there are a number of issues that have to be addressed which could be resolved through the establishment and implementation of a self-review process.
Strategic planning and monitoring needs addressing. Whilst whānau know their long-term goals and aspirations for mokopuna, there is no strategic plan or action plan to monitor the details for and completion of strategic goals. Sustainability for mokopuna cannot yet be guaranteed.
Whānau policy review processes require attention. Whilst whānau have implemented a cycle of policy review, this requires ongoing monitoring to ensure policy review is completed regularly. Health and safety for mokopuna is compromised.
Since the onsite review, whānau have addressed the following key next steps:
Health and safety practices are improving. Kaimahi have sent through evidence of completed daily hazards checks of the kōhanga reo, and evidence of a practiced fire drill. ERO support the kōhanga reo renewed focus on health and safety for mokopuna and encourage embedding these fundamental practices. Mokopuna safety and wellbeing are being considered.
Programme evaluation has been strengthened. Kaimahi have implemented processes to record hui kaimahi and the discussed areas of improvement in programme evaluation. Mokopuna benefit from a learning programme that is evaluated, and improvements focused.
An appraisal system has been adopted. Whānau now have an appraisal system that identifies goals for kaimahi that promote the kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. There is a need for whānau to complete appraisal regularly to support kaimahi in their roles. Mokopuna learning is enhanced when kaimahi are given opportunities to develop in their roles.
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 agree that they seek support from Te Tari-ā-Rohe to address the key next steps identified in this report.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kupenga ki Ōtara, ki Tāmaki-makau-rau ki te tonga. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2016, kua pā ki te whānau ngā whakarerekētanga nunui i ngā tūnga kaimahi. Kua whakatutukihia e rātou ngā āhuatanga maha o ngā mahi whakahaere, me ngā wāhanga hoki kīhai i te tutuki e ai ki te ture. Ko te aromātai hōtaka tētahi āhuatanga hei whakawhanake tonu.
Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou māramatanga ki te whanaungatanga i roto i ngā wāhanga ako katoa.
E tautāwhitia ana ngā tamariki ki te whanaungatanga. E whakapuaki ana ngā kaimahi i te manaaki me te whakaute ki ngā tamariki, ā, ki waenga hoki i a rātou anō. E whakarato ana rātou i te taiao ako e whakatairanga ana i te aroha, te manaaki, me te āwhina. E hīkina ana ngā pēpi e ngā kaimahi i a rātou e whai wāhi nui ana ki ngā taumahi ako katoa. He whakawhirinakitanga, he atawhai hoki ki ā rātou taunekeneke ki ngā kaimahi. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki tuākana ki te ārahi i ngā taumahi. Ka whakatutukihia e rātou mā te ngākau titikaha me te ngākau nui. E manaaki ana, e noho whakaute ana hoki ngā tamariki.
E ako ana ngā tamariki i ō rātou hononga ki ngā tāngata me ngā wāhi. E whakarato ana ngā kaimahi i ngā taumahi e akiaki ana i ngā tamariki ki te ako i tō rātou tū hei kaitiaki. Ka mahi, ka ako hoki ngā tamariki i te māra kai. E whakapuaki ana ngā kaimahi i ngā akoranga e pā ana ki te tū o te tangata whenua. Ka hāpai rātou i ngā tamariki ki te whai kawenga matua i roto i ngā pōhiri. Ka tū ngā tamariki hei kaikōrero i ngā pōhiri. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou māramatanga ki te kaitiakitanga, ā, ki te āhua hoki o ō rātou tū hei tangata whenua.
E āta rumakina ana ngā tamariki ki te hōhonutanga me te tangongitanga o tētahi taiao ako o te reo Māori. E whakamahi ana ngā kaiako i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki e hāpai ana i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki. Ko ētahi o aua rautaki, ko te patapatai, te whāngai kupu, me te tāruarua. E tino hāpaitia ana te ako a ngā tamariki i ngā kupu hou, ā, e ākina ana tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā tauira reo o ngā wā karakia me ngā wā taki pepeha. E whai wāhi atu ana ngā waiata hei tino rautaki ki te whakatau i ngā tamariki, ā, ki te whakatairanga anō hoki i tō rātou māramatanga ki te reo Māori. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou tino māramatanga ki te reo Māori.
E whanake ana te noho maioha o ngā tamariki ki te ao māoriori, ao tūturu hoki. E whakarato ana ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te tūhonohono ki tō rātou taiao. E akiaki ana ngā wāhi o waho i te taha tūhura me te taha pākiki. He hihiri, he auaha hoki te āhua o ngā wāhi o roto. Kei ngā pēpi tō rātou ake wāhi ako. E hāngai ana ā rātou mahinga ki ngā wā moe, ngā wā kai, me ngā matea ā-tinana, ā-whatumanawa tonu o ia pēpi. Ka whai ngā tamariki tuākana i ngā mahinga e whakawhanake ana i tō rātou māramatanga ki te tiaki me te kawe i a rātou anō. Kei te tākare ngā tamariki hei ākonga.
E whanake ana te arotake whaiaro. Kua whakatakotohia e te whānau ētahi pūnaha e aroturuki ai i te arotake whaiaro. E arotakengia ana te tūtohinga me te mahere rautaki i tēnei wā. E ārahi ana te mahere ā-tau i te whakahaeretanga o te nuinga o ngā whakaritenga i te kōhanga reo. He huringa taiāwhio tā ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga, hei āta whakatutuki i ngā mahi arotake i ia te wā. Kua whakaritea te katoa o ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi. E whai wāhi nui ana te arohaehae i ngā kaimahi ki te āhua o te tautoko me ngā whakapaitanga. E āta whakamōhiotia ana te whānau mō ngā taumahi i te kōhanga reo, pērā i ngā tūmomo haerenga. Kei te mātātoa tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki ngā tūmomo mahi ā-ohu e hāpai ana i te whakahaeretanga o tō rātou kōhanga reo. Ko ngā matea o ngā tamariki te aronga matua.
Kua whakatakotohia ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te whakamahere me te aromatawai. Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaimahi ki te whakamahere i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi e tika ana mō te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whakapuaki te whānau i ngā kōrero urupare e whai hua ana ki te hāpai i te huarahi ako o ā rātou tamariki. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo huarahi tuku pūrongo. Ka whakapuaki rātou i te hōtaka akoranga ki ngā hui ā-whānau, ā, ka whakamārama hoki rātou i ia te wā i ngā akoranga mā ngā huarahi ā-ipurangi. E whakaaro nuitia ana te ako a ngā tamariki.
Me whakapakari i te aromātai i te hōtaka. He uaua ki te tātari pēhea nei te whai huatanga o ngā mahi ki te aroturuki i te hōtaka akoranga, hei whakatutuki i ngā matea o ngā tamariki katoa. He mea nui kia hāpaitia te whakapakaritanga ake o ngā kaimahi i tō rātou māramatanga ki te aromātai hōtaka, me tā rātou whakatinanatanga i taua mahi. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki mā ngā akoranga e arotakengia ana i ia te wā.
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 Kupenga i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga reo o Te Kupenga is in Ōtara, South Auckland. Since ERO’s last review in 2016, whānau have experienced significant changes in staffing. They have addressed many aspects of operational management and areas of non-compliance. Programme evaluation is an area for ongoing development.
Children display an understanding of whanaungatanga in all areas of learning.
Children are embraced by whanaungatanga. Kaimahi demonstrate care and respect for children and each other. They provide a learning environment that promotes aroha, manaaki and āwhi. Pēpi are held by kaimahi as they fully participate in all learning activities. Their interactions with kaimahi are trusting and affectionate. Older children have opportunities to lead activities. They do this with confidence and enjoyment. Children are caring and respectful.
Children learn about their connections to people and places. Kaimahi provide activities that encourage children to learn about their roles as kaitiaki. Children tend to and learn about the maara kai. Kaimahi introduce learning about roles as tangata whenua. They support children to hold key responsibilities in pōhiri. Children contribute as kaikōrero in pōhiri. Children show an understanding of kaitiakitanga and their roles as tangata whenua.
Children are well immersed in a rich and varied te reo Māori learning environment. Kaiako use a range of strategies to support children’s language development. This includes use of questions, prompts and repetition. Children are well supported to learn new kupu and encouraged to understand language patterns that take place during karakia and reciting of pepeha. Waiata is a successful strategy that not only settles children but also enhances their understanding of te reo Māori. Children show they clearly understand te reo Māori.
Children are developing an appreciation for the natural and physical world. Kaimahi provide opportunities for children to make connections to their environment. Outdoor areas encourage exploration and curiosity. Indoor areas are vibrant and creative. Pēpi have their own learning space. Their routines are based on sleeping, eating and individual physical and emotional needs. Older children follow routines that develop their understanding of self-care and responsibility. Children are enthusiastic learners.
Self-review is developing. Whānau have some systems in place to monitor self-review. The tūtohinga and strategic plan are under review. The annual plan provides guidance to managing most kōhanga reo operations. The policies and procedures are on a cycle to ensure regular review. All employee documentation is in place. Kaimahi appraisals inform support and improvement. Whānau are well informed about kōhanga activities, such as various haerenga. They are active in various ohu mahi to support the management of their kōhanga. Children’s needs are a priority.
Planning and assessment processes are in place. Kaimahi work together to plan a range of appropriate activities for the learning programme. Whānau provide useful feedback to support their children’s learning journey. Kaimahi use a range of reporting methods. They share the learning programme at whānau hui and they regularly share learning using online platforms. Children’s learning is considered.
Programme evaluation needs strengthening. It is difficult to gauge how well the learning programme is being monitored to meet the needs of all children. It is important that kaimahi are supported to improve their understanding and implementation of programme evaluation. Children will benefit from a learning that is regularly reviewed.
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 next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kupenga will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kupenga ki Ōtara, ki Tāmaki-makau-rau ki te tonga. E pou here ana ngā mātāpono o Ngā Pou e Whā me Te Korowai i te angitu me te pakari o te kōhanga reo. He nui ngā tūmanako kia mātātoa ai te whai wāhi mai a te whānau ki ngā akoranga a ā rātou tamariki, me te hāpai i te ū tonutanga o tētahi taiao rumaki whakahihiri e poipoi ana i a rātou. Ko ētahi o te whānau me ngā kaimahi, he ākonga o mua o te kōhanga reo me ngā mema kua roa nei e whai wāhi ana ki te kōhanga reo, ā, e noho pūmau ana rātou ki te aronga me te rōnakitanga o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei.
Ko te āta whakawhanake i ngā tamariki ki te ao Māori e noho tonu ana ki te pūtake o ngā wawata o te whānau. Ka rongo i te reo me ngā tikanga Māori, puta noa i te taiao ako o ngā tamariki. E ai ki te whānau, he hiahia tō rātou kia tū pakari, kia tū rangatira hoki ā rātou tamariki hei Māori, ahakoa haere ai rātou ki hea.
He māia te whakapuaki a ngā tamariki i ō rātou whakaaro mā te reo me ngā tikanga Māori, ā, kei te tupu haere tō rātou āheinga.
Ka rumakina ngā tamariki ki te hōhonutanga o ngā taiao e whakapūmau ana i ō rātou hononga ki te ao wairua me te ao ahurea. Ka whakamahia ngā karakia, ngā hīmene, ngā pepeha me ngā whakapapa hei whakapūmau i te waiora, te aronga toi whenuatanga, me te tūmāia o ngā tamariki. Ka whai pūtake ngā whakawhitinga whakaaro o ngā kaimahi me ngā tamariki mō ngā atua Māori. Ka ako ngā tamariki i te whai pānga o ngā atua Māori ki te ao Māori me te ao whānui. Ka kite i te whakaute me te whai whakaaro nui hoki o ngā tamariki mō ētahi atu, mō ō rātou wāhi māoriori, tūturu hoki. Ka noho hoki ngā tamariki hei tuakana, hei teina, ā, ka kite i tō rātou manaaki, ā rātou kawenga, me tā rātou ārahitanga. Ka tūmāia, ka tū takitahi hoki ngā tamariki.
Ka kite i te tino aronga toi whenuatanga o ngā tamariki. Kei te tino mōhio rātou ki te taiao o tō rātou kōhanga reo. Ka whai hua te whakaritenga me ngā rauemi o ngā wāhi ako o roto, ā, ka poipoi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo matea me te rerekē haere o ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā tamariki. Ka noho pākiki ngā tamariki mō tō rātou ao Māori. Ka whakamanahia tō rātou tū hei tangata whenua, nā te hihiri o te taiao, ngā kōwaiwai pakitara, ngā hanganga, ngā tauira, me ngā rauemi ako ā-whatu. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi takitahi e āta poipoi ana i tō rātou māia ki te tūhura haere i te ao māoriori me te ao tūturu.
Ka whakatairangatia te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori nā te whai pūtaketanga o ngā taunekeneke me ngā hononga. Ka whakarite, ka whakahaere anō hoki ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi, ngā tūmomo horopaki hoki ka whakahāngai i te titiro o ngā tamariki ki ētahi tino āhuatanga o te reo Māori. E ako ana ngā tamariki i te reo e whai pānga ana ki te hīraurau hopanga, te whakariterite, te tohatoha, te noho ngātahi, me te ārahi. Ka tino ngākau nui rātou ki ngā whai wāhitanga ka pupū ake ki te ako ki te taha o ētahi atu. He pai te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero a ngā tamariki ki waenga i a rātou anō, ā, ki ngā pākeke hoki.
Ka whakamahi ngā tamariki i te reo me ngā tikanga Māori hei whakapuaki i ō rātou whakaaro. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki tuākana ki te whakawhānui me te whakatairanga i tō rātou mōhiotanga ki te reo Māori. Ka whai hua ngā rautaki a ngā kaimahi e mahi ana ki te taha o ngā pēpi, ki te whakapūmau i te tūhura mā te reo Māori. Ka rongo ngā tamariki i ngā waiata me ngā whakawhitinga kōrero a ngā pākeke. Ka kitea tō rātou māramatanga i ngā tikanga Māori, ā, ka whakatutuki rātou i ngā mahi tikanga, mai i te wā he kōhungahunga tonu rātou. Ka tū pakari ngā tamariki ki ngā horopaki Māori.
Ka whai wāhi nui ngā tamariki ki te ako. Ka whai wāhi atu te katoa o ngā tamariki – mai i ngā pēpi ki ngā tuākana – ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi ako tūhura, taumahi ako takitahi, taumahi ako ā-rōpū hoki e ngākau nuitia ana e rātou. Ka hāngai nui te hōtaka akoranga ki te tūhura māhorahora i ngā kaupapa. Nā ngā taumahi ka pakirehua ngā tamariki, mā te mahi takirōpū, te mahi takitahi, me te mahi anō hoki ki te taha o ngā kaimahi. Kei te whakatau ngā tamariki i te ao e noho nei rātou.
Ka whai hua te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Ka mahi ngātahi te whānau ki te whakatutuki i ngā take whakarite me ngā take whakahaere. Ka whakatau ngātahi i ngā whakaritenga, ā, he mārama. Ka kitea te aroturuki, te arotake, me te pūrongo anō hoki i ngā whāinga rautaki, ngā mahinga, me ngā kaupapa matua. Ka tāutu te whānau i ngā whāinga me ngā mahi ka whakapakari i ā rātou mahi mō te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Ka whakawhanakehia, ka whakamahia hoki e te whānau te arotake o roto me te aromātai, ki te aroturuki i ngā wāhanga katoa o te kōhanga reo hei painga mō ngā tamariki.
Ka whiwhi ngā tamariki i ngā hōtaka akoranga i āta whakamaheretia ai, i āta whakaarohia ai hoki. Ka whakapuaki te whānau i ō rātou wawata me ō rātou whakaaro, ā, ka whakamahia ēnei hei whakamōhio i te whakawhanaketanga o ngā hōtaka akoranga. Kei te mārama ngā kaimahi ki ngā mahi ki te whakamahere i ngā hōtaka mā Te Whāriki o Te Kōhanga Reo. Ka poipoi rātou i te whānuitanga o ngā reanga me ngā āheinga o ngā tamariki. Ka whai hua te whakamahinga o aua mahere hei ārahi i te whakapuakitanga o te hōtaka. Ko te ngaio o te whakaaro huritao ngātahi me te arotake auau i ngā whakaritenga e hāpai ana i te whakawhanaketanga ake o te hōtaka. Kua tino whakawhanakehia ngā whakaritenga aromatawai, ā, he aronga nui ki te pūrongo i te angitu o ngā tamariki i roto i te reo me ngā tikanga Māori, puta noa i Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira. He pārekareka ki ngā mātua me ngā tamariki te pānui i ā rātou pūkete. He pai te whakamōhio i ngā whānau mō te ahu whakamua a tā rātou tamaiti, me āna whakatutukitanga.
Mā te arotake whaiaro, kua tāutuhia e te whānau ngā kaupapa rautaki matua me ngā kaupapa matua o tēnei wā tonu hei whakawhanake ake. E whakarite ana te whānau ki te whakatutuki i aua kaupapa matua, tae atu ki tā rātou whāinga whakawhanake rawa, mā te whakawhānui ake i te wāhi o waho mō ngā tamariki.
He nui ngā mōhiohio papai o ngā aromatawai e pā ana ki te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki mā Te Whāriki, ā, puta noa anō hoki i Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira. E mōhio ana te whānau, he whai wāhitanga anō hoki ki te whakamahi i aua tino mōhiohio ki te whakawhanake i tā rātou ake paearu ako reo ka hāpai i te aroturukitanga o te whakawhanaketanga reo ki te kōhanga reo.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kupenga ki Ōtara. He pakari te whakapuaki whakaaro o ngā tamariki mā te reo me ngā tikanga Māori, ā, e tupu ana tō rātou āheinga. Ka rumakina ngā tamariki ki te hōhonutanga o ngā taiao e whakapūmau ana i ō rātou hononga ki te ao wairua me te ao ahurea. E whai hua ana te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Ka mahi ngātahi te whānau ki te whakatutuki i ngā take whakarite me ngā take whakahaere.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kupenga i roto i te toru o ngā tau.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kupenga is in Otara, South Auckland. The principles of Ngā Pou e Whā and Te Korowai underpin the success and strength of the kōhanga reo. There are high expectations for whānau to be actively involved in their children’s learning, and assist in maintaining a nurturing and vibrant immersion environment. Whānau and kaimahi include kōhanga reo graduates and long serving members who are committed to the future direction and long term sustainability of the kōhanga reo.
Children’s successful development in te ao Māori remain at the heart of whānau aspirations. Te reo and tikanga Māori permeates children’s learning environment. Whānau report that they want their children confident and secure in their identity as Māori wherever they may go.
Children express themselves through te reo and tikanga Māori with confidence and growing ability.
Children are immersed in rich environments that reinforce connections to their spiritual and cultural worlds. Karakia, hīmene, pepeha and whakapapa are used to reinforce children’s sense of wellbeing, connection and confidence. Kaimahi have meaningful discussions with children about atua Māori. Children learn about the place of atua Māori in te ao Māori and te ao whānui. Children show respect and consideration for others and their natural and physical surrounds. Tuakana and teina interactions between children reflect care, responsibility and leadership. Children are confident and independent.
Children display a strong sense of belonging. They know their kōhanga reo environment well. All indoor learning areas are effectively organised and resourced to cater for the diverse needs and changing interests of children. Children are curious about their world Māori. Their place as tangata whenua is affirmed by the vibrant environment, murals, constructions, models and visual learning aids. Children enjoy the variety of independent activities that successfully nurtures their confidence to explore the natural and physical worlds.
Children’s learning of te reo Māori is enhanced through meaningful interactions and relationships. Kaimahi organise and manage a wide range of activities and settings where children focus on specific aspects of te reo Māori. Children are learning language for problem solving, negotiating, sharing, cooperation and leadership. They especially enjoy spontaneous opportunities to learn with others. Children communicate well with each other and adults.
Children use te reo and tikanga Māori to express themselves. Older children have opportunities to extend and enrich their knowledge of te reo Māori. Kaimahi working with babies use effective strategies that reinforce exploration through te reo Māori. Children hear waiata and conversation by adults. They demonstrate an understanding of tikanga Māori and carry out formal aspects of tikanga from an early age. Children are confident in Māori settings.
Children are engaged learners. From babies to tuakana, children are engaged in a wide range of exploratory, independent and shared learning activities that they enjoy. The learning programme emphasises spontaneous exploration of kaupapa. Activities enable children to inquire together, on their own and beside kaimahi. Children are making sense of their world.
The kōhanga reo is effectively managed. Whānau work together on management and operational matters. Decision-making is collective and transparent. Monitoring, reviewing and reporting against strategic goals, actions and priorities are evident. Whānau identify goals and actions to strengthen what they do in relation to the kaupapa of kōhanga reo. Internal review and evaluation is developed and used by whānau to monitor all areas of the kōhanga reo in the best interests of children.
Children receive well planned and considered programmes of learning. Whānau share their aspirations and ideas which are used to inform the development of learning plans. Kaimahi understand how to plan programmes using Te Whāriki o te Kōhanga Reo. They cater for the various ages and abilities of children. These plans are used effectively guide programme delivery. Shared professional reflection and review of practice is regular and contributes to further programme developments. Assessment practice is highly developed with strong emphasis on reporting children’s success in te reo and tikanga Māori across ngā taumata whakahirahira. Parents and children enjoy reading their profiles. Whānau are well informed about their child’s progress and achievements.
The whānau have identified through internal review, key strategic and immediate priorities for development. Whānau plan to pursue these, including their property development goal to extend outdoor area for children.
There is a wealth of good assessment information kept about children’s development of the language through Te Whāriki and across Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira. Whānau recognise the opportunity to draw on this valuable information to develop their own language learning criteria to support the monitoring of language development while at kōhanga reo.
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.
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
continue to develop internal evaluation practice for strategic review and reporting of planned goals and priorities.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kupenga is in Otara. Children express themselves through te reo and tikanga Māori with confidence and growing ability. Children are immersed in rich environments that reinforce connections to their spiritual and cultural worlds. The kōhanga reo is effectively managed. Whānau work together on management and operational matters.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kupenga will be in three years.
