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 hāngai tēnei pūrongo ki ā rātou pūnaha, ā rātou whakaritenga, me ā rātou whakahaeretanga. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Hūmārie ki Takanini, ki Tāmaki-makau-rau ki te tonga. He wawata ngātahi tō te whānau kia tū manawanui mai mā ngā uara, ngā mātāpono, me ngā tikanga whakaaro o te kōhanga reo. E poipoi tonu ana, e whakatairanga tonu ana te whānau i ngā whakarerenga iho a tō rātou kuia, arā, kia kōkiri i te reo Māori, i ngā tikanga Māori, me te ao Māori hei painga mō ngā mokopuna.
I kitea ki te aromātai Mana Whakahaere a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te Hui-tanguru o te tau 2024, ko tētahi āhuatanga hei whakapai ake, ko ngā tukanga aromātai o roto e aroturuki ana i te kounga o ngā whakahaeretanga me ngā whakaritenga.
Ka whakaatuhia e ngā mokopuna tō rātou ngākau nuitanga mā te whai wāhi mātātoa atu ki te tangongitanga o ngā wheako ako pārekareka.
E rumakina ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao e hāpai ana i tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki ngā akoranga. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki whakamihi papai hei whakapakari i te ngākau titikaha o ngā mokopuna. Kua tuitui i ngā uara o te aroha, te tiaki, me te manaaki ki ngā taunekeneke katoa ki waenga i ngā pakeke me ngā mokopuna, ā, he tūāhuatanga e whakatairanga ake ana i te wairua atawhai, i te wairua manaaki. He aronga e whakapuaki ana i te mauritau, i te tautoko hoki mō ngā mokopuna katoa. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna ki te kawe mātātoa atu i ngā kaupapa ōkawa, pērā i ngā mihi whakatau, me te pōwhiri i ngā manuhiri ki tō rātou kōhanga reo. Mā aua wheako, ka āta kite atu ngā mokopuna i ngā tikanga me ngā kawa, ā, ka hōhonu ake anō hoki i tō rātou māramatanga ki ā rātou kawenga hei tangata whenua. Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna tuākana tō rātou ngākau nuitanga ki te whai māramatanga ki te hanganga me te pūtake o te reo. Ka āta tautoko ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna i a rātou e whakamātau ana i te taki karakia me te taki mihimihi. Ka kitea te māramatanga o ngā pēpi mā ā rātou tohu ā-ringa, ā-kanohi hoki. Kei te tākare te whai wāhi atu a ngā mokopuna ki ngā taumahi ako whai pūtake e pārekareka ana ki a rātou, pērā i te pānui pukapuka, te rotarota, me te waiata i te tangongitanga o ngā waiata. Kei te harikoa, kei te mauritau hoki ngā mokopuna i roto i ā rātou akoranga.
Kei te hihiri, kua āta whakaritea hoki ngā wāhi ako o roto, o waho, hei hāpai i te ako. Kua āta whakaritea ngā taumahi hei akiaki i te whai wāhi atu a ngā mokopuna, me tā rātou ako ngātahi ki te taha o ētahi atu. Ka whakawhiti ngāwari noa ngā mokopuna ki waenga i ngā taumahi, ā, e wātea ana ki a rātou te tangongitanga o ngā rauemi e whakaongaonga ana i tō rātou tupu me ō rātou ngākau nuitanga. Kei te ngana, kei te pākiki hoki ngā mokopuna hei ākonga.
E whakahaerehia ana ngā take kaimahi, ā, kei ngā tuhinga tuku mahi, ko ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi me ngā arowhai e manatokotia ai te haumaru o ngā kaimahi. I tēnei wā kei te whakahou i ngā kirimana takitahi a ngā kaimahi ki ngā kirimina mahi a Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo. Kua whai wāhi mātātoa atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā whakangungu Child Matters hei whakatairanga i tō rātou māramatanga me tō rātou mōhiotanga ki te Children's Act 2014. Ka whakatau te whānau i ngā whakaritenga hei tino painga mō ngā mokopuna.
Kāhore anō kia whakaritea te aromātai o roto. Kāhore he tukanga e aroturuki ana i te whai huatanga o te whakahaere, o ngā pūnaha whakahaere, me ngā whakaritenga i te kōhanga reo. Kāhore te toitūtanga o te kōhanga reo e whakatūturuhia ana mō ngā mokopuna.
Kāhore i te rawaka ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau i te kōhanga reo. Kāhore i te tino mārama ki a rātou ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga. Me arotake i te huarahi whakauru o te whānau, ā, me whakatakoto i ngā rautaki e āta whakatau ai i te noho mōhio o te whānau ki ā rātou takohanga mō ā rātou tamariki mokopuna.
Me arotake i ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. Kāhore te whānau me ngā kaimahi e āta mārama ana i te whai pānga o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga o te hauora me te haumaru, ki ngā nekehanga i te kōhanga reo. He tūāhuatanga ka whakamōrearea pea i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā mokopuna.
Ko tētahi wāhanga hei whakawhanake tonu, ko te whakamahere ā-tau. Me mātua whakarite i tētahi mahere ā-tau e āta whakatau ai i te aroturukitanga o ngā mahi whakahaere i te tari, me te whakatutukitanga anō hoki o ērā i roto i te wā e tika ana. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te whakahāngaitanga o ngā aronga.
Me whakaōkawa te whānau i tētahi mahere mahi e whakatau ai i te āta aroturuki, i te āta pūrongo hoki i ngā putanga o te mahere rautaki. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā e āta whakaarohia ana ngā matea o ngā mokopuna ki anamata.
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 kia toro wawe atu te whānau ki te tautoko o te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, kia aro nuitia atu, kia whakatinanahia hoki tētahi mahere mahi hei āta whakatau i te whakapaitanga ake o te kounga o te mātauranga me te atawhai.

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. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO reports provide important information for hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Hūmārie is in Takanini, South Auckland. Whānau share a collective aspiration to stand steadfast to the values, principles, and philosophy of Te Kōhanga Reo. Whānau continue to foster and promote the legacy of their esteemed kuia, to advance te reo Māori, tikanga Māori and te ao Māori for mokopuna.
The ERO February 2024 evaluation of Mana Whakahaere practices found internal evaluation processes to monitor the quality of operations and practices required improvement.
Mokopuna demonstrate their contentment by actively engaging in a variety of enjoyable learning experiences.
Mokopuna are immersed in an environment where they are supported to engage in learning. Kaimahi use positive praise strategies to build mokopuna confidence. Values of aroha, tiaki and manaaki are woven into all interactions between adults and mokopuna, fostering a nurturing and caring atmosphere. This approach creates a naturally calm and supportive setting for all mokopuna. Kaimahi encourage mokopuna to take an active role in formalities such as mihi whakatau and welcoming visitors to their kōhanga reo. Through these experiences, mokopuna gain valuable insights into tikanga and kawa while deepening their understanding of their responsibilities as tangata whenua. Older mokopuna demonstrate a keen interest in understanding the structure and purpose of language. Kaimahi gently support mokopuna as they practice reciting karakia and mihimihi. Pēpi express their understanding through hand gestures and facial expressions. Mokopuna eagerly participate in enjoyable and meaningful learning activities, such as pānui pukapuka, rotarota and singing a variety of waiata. Mokopuna are happy and settled in their learning.
The vibrant and well-arranged indoor and outdoor learning environments support learning. Activities are well organised to encourage mokopuna to engage and learn collaboratively with others. Mokopuna transition seamlessly between activities and have access to a wide range of resources that stimulates their growth and interests. Mokopuna are engaged and curious learners.
Personnel matters are administered with employment documentation comprising of position descriptions and verified kaimahi safety checks. Kaimahi individual contracts are currently being updated to the Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust employment agreements. Kaimahi have actively engaged in Child Matters training to enhance their understanding and awareness of the Children’s Act 2014. Whānau make decisions that serve the best interest of mokopuna.
Internal evaluation is yet to be established. There are no processes to monitor the effectiveness of the management, operations, and practices of the kōhanga reo. Sustainability of the kōhanga reo is not guaranteed for the mokopuna.
Whānau management of kōhanga reo operations is inadequate. They are unclear about their roles and responsibilities. Whānau induction needs to be reviewed, and strategies put in place to ensure that whānau are clear about their obligations to their tamariki mokopuna.
Health and safety policies and procedures require reviewing. Whānau and kaimahi do not fully understand how health and safety policies and procedures influence what happens in kōhanga reo. Mokopuna health and safety is potentially compromised.
Annual planning continues to be an area for development. It is essential to establish an annual plan to ensure key administrative tasks are monitored and completed in a timely manner. Mokopuna benefit from focused approaches.
Whānau need to formalise an action plan to ensure outcomes of the strategic plan are effectively monitored and reported. Mokopuna benefit when their future needs 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 recommend for whānau to seek urgent support from the Tari-ā-rohe to prioritise and implement an action plan to ensure the quality of education and care is improved.

Kua 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. E hāngai ana tēnei pūrongo ki ā rātou pūnaha, ki ā rātou whakaritenga, me ā rātou mahi whakahaere. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Hūmārie ki Takanini, ki Tāmaki-makau-rau ki te tonga. He wawata ngātahi tō te whānau kia manawanui rātou ki ngā uara, ngā mātāpono, me ngā tikanga whakaaro o te kōhanga reo. E noho ngākau nui ana rātou ki te whakarato i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te puāwai i roto i te reo Māori, i ngā tikanga Māori, me te ao Māori.
Ko te aro atu a te whānau ki ngā tukanga me ngā pūnaha e noho matua ana ki te poipoitanga o ngā putanga papai mō ngā mokopuna.
Kua āta whakaritea ngā tukanga a ngā kaimahi mō te whakamahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai hōtaka. Ka hui tahi rātou ki te waihanga i ngā akoranga a ngā mokopuna. E hono ana ngā mahere ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo, ā, ka āta whakaraupapa i ngā whāinga ako me ngā putanga ako a ngā mokopuna. Kei ngā mahere ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, ā-wiki hoki te tangongitanga o ngā taumahi me ngā rauemi e hāpai ai i te whakatinanatanga. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā Mātai Mokopuna ki te tautuhi me te aroturuki i te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna me tō rātou whakawhanaketanga i roto i te roanga o te wā. Ka whakapuakihia te ako a ngā mokopuna me ō rātou wheako ki te taha o te whānau mā tā rātou whārangi Pukamata. I tēnei wā, kei te whakawhiti haere ngā kaimahi i ngā aromatawai ki te pae matihiko e kīia ana ko Te Aho Poutama, ā, ko te whāinga tonu, ko te whakatairanga me te whakamahine i ā rātou mahi aromatawai. Kua whakatakotohia te aromātai hōtaka. Hui ai ngā kaimahi i ia te wā ki te whakaaro huritao ki te hōtaka akoranga. Ka tuhi rātou i ia te wā i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero e miramira ana i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga me ngā rautaki mō te whakapai tonutanga. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te tōpūtanga o ngā whakaritenga a ngā kaimahi.
Kua tae ki te wā kia whakaritea e te whānau tētahi tukanga aromātai o roto, ki te aroturuki i te kounga o ngā whakahaeretanga me ngā whakaritenga o te kōhanga reo.
Me whai whakaaro te whānau ki tētahi rautaki e hāpai ai i te whai wāhi o ngā mātua katoa ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo. E mōhio ana rātou e tika ana kia whakapakarihia tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā tūranga me ngā kawenga mahi. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te whakatōpūtanga o ngā aronga.
Me arotake, me manatoko hoki i ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. He mea nui kia hāngai hoki ērā ki ngā herenga ā-ture o te wā. He tūāhuatanga ēnei ka pā tōraro pea ki te hauora me te waiora o ngā mokopuna.
Ahakoa ka tautuhi te mahere rautaki i ngā kaupapa matua mō te whakawhanaketanga o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei, ko tētahi whakaritenga ka whai ake, ko te whakaōkawa a te whānau i tētahi mahere mahi e āta whakatau ai i te aroturukitanga me te pūrongo atu o ngā putanga. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā e whakaarohia ana ō rātou matea mō meāke nei.
Me whakapakari ake i te mahere ā-tau. He uaua ki te āta whakatau i te āhua tonu o te whakatinanatanga me te aroturukitanga o ngā wāhanga matua o ngā whakahaeretanga, tae atu hoki ki te whakatutukitanga o aua mahi i roto i te wā e tika ana.
Kāhore anō kia kitea ētahi o ngā kaupapa e pā ana ki ngā tuhinga kaimahi me ngā meneti o ngā hui ā-whānau. Kua whakatau te whānau me Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ka whakawāteahia ngā tuhinga kaimahi hei tirohanga i te taenga atu a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki te kōhanga reo.
I te wā o te arotake, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, arā, ki:
Hei whakatutuki i ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri te whānau ki te:
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia mahi te whānau o te kōhanga reo ki te taha o te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, kia tautokona tā rātou whakatutuki haere i ngā whakaritenga matua i tautuhia ai 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. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO’s reports provides important information for hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Hūmārie is in Takanini, South Auckland. Whānau share a collective aspiration to stand steadfast to the values, principles, and philosophy of Te Kōhanga Reo. They are committed to providing opportunities for mokopuna to ultimately thrive with te reo Māori, tikanga Māori and Te Ao Māori.
Whānau attention to processes and systems is essential to ensure the fostering of positive outcomes for mokopuna.
Kaimahi have established processes for planning, assessment, and programme evaluation. They come together to design learning for mokopuna. Planning links to Te Whāriki ā Te Kōhanga Reo and outlines clear learning objectives and outcomes for mokopuna. Year, term, and week plans encompass a range of activities and resources to support implementation. Kaimahi use mātai mokopuna to identify and monitor mokopuna progress and development overtime. Mokopuna learning and experiences are shared with whānau via their dedicated Facebook page. Kaimahi are in the process of transitioning assessments to the digital platform Te Aho Poutama aiming to enhance and refine their assessment practices. Programme evaluation is in place. Kaimahi frequently meet to reflect on the learning programme. They regularly document discussions highlighting the quality of the learning programme and strategies for improvement. Mokopuna benefit from collaborative kaimahi practices.
It is time for whānau to establish an internal evaluation process to monitor the quality of the kōhanga reo operations and practices.
Whānau need to consider a strategy to engage all matua in the management of kōhanga reo operations. They acknowledge that there is a need to strengthen their understanding of roles and responsibilities. Mokopuna would benefit from collective approaches.
Health and Safety policies and procedures require review and ratification. It is important these align to current legislation. Mokopuna health and wellbeing of mokopuna is potentially compromised.
While the strategic plan identifies what the priorities are for the future development of the kōhanga reo, the next step is for whānau is to formalise an action plan to ensure outcomes are monitored and reported. Mokopuna benefit when their future needs are considered.
The annual plan requires strengthening. It is difficult to gauge how the administration of key aspects across operations are being implemented, monitored and completed in a timely manner.
Other matters relating to personnel documentation and whānau hui minutes are yet to be sighted, whānau and ERO agree that personnel documents will be made available during the onsite visit.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
The following areas of non-compliance require attention:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau work alongside the district office for support to address the key next steps identified in this report.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Hūmārie ki Takanini. He hononga ā-whakapapa ō ngā tamariki me ngā whānau ki ngā hapū me ngā iwi, puta noa i Aotearoa. Kua whakatutukihia ngā take i hāngai ai ki ngā pūtea me ngā mahi whakahaere i te tari, ā, kei te ahu whakamua te whānau. Kua tāutuhia e te whānau ngā mahi hei whakatutuki kia āta whakataungia ai ngā pūnaha ka hāpai i te rōnaki tonutanga o te kōhanga reo hei te paetawhiti.
He whakaute, he aroha hoki ō ngā tamariki i roto i ā rātou taunekeneke ki ētahi atu.
E rumakina ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e poipoi ana i te aroha me te manaaki. Ka whakatauira ngā pakeke i te āhua o ngā taunekeneke papai me te whai whakaarotanga nui ki ētahi atu. Nā taua tūāhuatanga, ka whakapuaki hoki ngā tamariki i te whakaute ki ngā pakeke me ō rātou hoa. Ka awhiawhitia rātou, ka atawhaitia rātou i ia te wā. Kei te pakari tā rātou whai atu i ngā mahinga i āta whakaritea ai. Ka whakamihi ngā kaimahi, ka whakamahi hoki rātou i ngā rautaki papai hei whakatairanga ake i te whakawhirinakitanga me te aronga poipoi. Kei te harikoa, kei te mauritau hoki ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo.
E ako ana ngā tamariki i ngā tikanga me ngā kawa e whai pānga ana ki tō rātou tū hei uri Māori. E hāpaitia ana tā rātou whakatinanatanga i tō rātou tū hei tangata whenua, i a rātou e whakatau ana i ngā manuhiri ki te kōhanga reo. Kei te tūmāia ētahi o ngā tamariki ki te kōkiri i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki ngā manuhiri. Kei te tino mōhio te whānau ki ngā tamariki me ō rātou nei ao. Ka hāpai rātou i ngā tamariki ki te ako i ō rātou pepeha. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i te whakahirahiratanga o ngā hononga ā-whānau me ngā tātai whakapapa. Kei te mauritau te āhua o ngā tamariki i a rātou e ako ana i ō rātou tuakiri.
Kei te rumakina ngā tamariki ki te whanaungatanga. Kei te tau ngā tamariki ki te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero ki ētahi atu. E akiaki ana te whānau i ngā hononga papai ki ētahi atu. He tūmanako ō rātou e whakatairanga ana, e whakapūmau ana hoki i te whanonga pai. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā taunekeneke e poipoi ana i te tohatoha taonga, te manaaki, me te aroha ki waenga i ngā tamariki. He pai te poipoi i ngā tamariki. Ka āta toro atu ki ngā rautaki whanonga e hāpai ai i ngā tamariki ki te whai huarahi anō, me te whai kaupapa kē. E whai pūtake ana ngā hononga o ngā tamariki ki ētahi atu.
Ka ākina, ka tautokona te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. Ka whakatauira, ka aroturuki hoki te kuia i te kounga o te reo Māori. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki e hāpai ana i te whakawhanaketanga reo. Ko ētahi o aua rautaki, ko te whāngai kupu, te patapatai, te waiata, me ngā kupu āki papai. Ka ākina ngā tamariki kia whakautu kōrero, kia whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro hoki rātou. Ka tohu ā-tinana ngā pēpi hei whakaatu i tō rātou māramatanga. He ngāwari, he pai anō hoki ngā pūkenga kōrero e whakamahia ana e ngā kaimahi ki te taha o ngā tamariki. E whanake ana ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
E whanake ana ngā tamariki i te āhua o te tirohanga Māori ki te ao tūroa me te ao tūturu. Ko Matariki te kaupapa o tēnei wā, ā, kua whakatairangatia ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki ki ngā waiata e pā ana ki a Matariki, ki tētahi haerenga ki te whare mātai ātea, ā, ki tētahi rangahau hoki o ngā kai e whai oranga ana mō te tangata. Ka taea e ngā tamariki ngā pātai a ngā kaimahi te whakautu, hei whakapuaki i ngā akoranga o mua me ngā kaupapa matua e whai pānga nui ana ki te taiao. Kei te tino ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki ngā kōrero e pā ana ki a Matariki me āna tamāhine. Kei te whanake ngā tamariki hei ākonga pākiki.
He mea nui kia whakatairanga, kia whakapai ake hoki ngā kaimahi i te kounga o tō rātou ake reo Māori, hei whakawhānui, hei wero anō hoki i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki. Ahakoa ka kitea te ngākau titikaha me te tākare o ngā tamariki ki te ako, kei te whakawhāitihia ō rātou huarahi ako ki tēnā e mōhiotia ana, e whakamahia ana hoki e ngā kaimahi. Kua tae ki te wā kia whakatakotohia e te whānau tētahi rautaki ka whakapakari i te reo Māori o ngā kaimahi me ngā mema o te whānau.
E whakahaere ana te whānau i te kōhanga reo hei painga mō ngā tamariki. Nā te tautoko o ngā kaimahi o te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, kua whakawhanakehia e te whānau ngā pūkenga ki te whakapūmau tonu i ā rātou pūnaha pūtea, me te whakahou ake i ā rātou tukanga ki te whakahaere i te tari me te kōhanga reo.
Ko te whakamahere i te hōtaka tētahi pūkenga o ngā kaimahi. Kei te matawhānui, kei te āta tuhia hoki ngā mahere, ā, e āta whakatakoto ana mā ngā kaimahi, ko ngā tūmanako mārama mō ngā whakaritenga me te whakatutukitanga anō hoki o ngā matea o ngā tamariki. Ka aro nui ki te whakatutuki i ngā tūmomo rōpū reanga me ngā matea ako. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki ngā taumahi i whakamaheretia ai mā rātou.
Me whai whakaaro tonu ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā mahi whakarite a te whānau. Ko te whakatū i tētahi kaiwhakahaere, ka hiki ake i te taumahatanga o ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi e whakatutuki ana i tēnei wā i ngā āhuatanga mahi e rua. Me whakapakari i te aromātai o roto, ā, he āhuatanga tēnei e kitea ana ki ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei.
Me arotake i ngā mahi aromatawai kia ngāwari, kia whai rōnakitanga hoki ēnei mā ngā kaimahi. I tēnei wā, he nui rawa te wā e aro atu ana ngā kaimahi ki ngā aromatawai. E whakaae ana rātou, ko tētahi whakaritenga matua e tika ana kia whai ake hei whakapai ake i te aromatawai, ko te whakawhanake i tētahi kaupapa here me ngā aratohu e tāutu ai i te āhua o ngā whakaritenga papai. Ka hāpai anō hoki tēnei i te whānau ki te whai māramatanga ake ki te ahu whakamua a ā rātou tamariki hei ākonga.
Ko te aromātai hōtaka tētahi atu āhuatanga hei whakapakari ake. He uaua ki te aromātai i te āhua o ngā mahi e aroturuki ana i te whai huatanga o te hōtaka. Kua tae ki te wā kia tuhi, kia pūrongo hoki ngā kaimahi ki te whānau i ia te wā, mō tēnā e whai hua ana i te hōtaka, me tēnā anō hoki e whāia ana e rātou ki te whakapai ake i te ako a ngā tamariki.
Me titiro ki te whakamahere rautaki. Kāhore anō te whānau kia tāutu ā rātou kaupapa matua o te paetawhiti, hei hāpai i te whakawhanake tonutanga o te kōhanga reo. He mea nui anō hoki kia whakatakotohia tētahi mahere mahi, kia āhei ai te whānau ki te aroturuki me te pūrongo i te ahu whakamua ki te whakatutuki haere i ā rātou kaupapa matua.
Kua tae ki te wā kia whai whakaarohia e te whānau ngā huarahi ki te arotake i ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga i ia te wā. Ahakoa ka whai wāhi atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā kaupapa here, he mea nui kia māramahia, kia whakamanahia hoki ēnei e te whānau i ngā hui ā-whānau. Me noho mātua rā te hauora me te haumaru 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 whakawhanakehia e te whānau me Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, hei whakapakari ake i te aromātai o roto, arā, kia:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Hūmārie i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Hūmārie is in Takanini. Children and whānau have whakapapa connections to iwi and hapū throughout Aotearoa. Financial and administrative issues have been resolved and the whānau is moving forward. The whānau has identified what needs to be done to ensure systems are in place to support the long-term future of the kōhanga reo.
Children are respectful and loving in their interaction with others.
Children are immersed in an environment that fosters aroha and manaaki. Adults model positive interactions and respect for others. In return children show respect for adults and their peers. They are frequently cuddled and shown affection. They confidently follow well-established routines. Kaimahi use praise and positive strategies to promote trust and sense of nurture. Children are happy and settled in the kōhanga reo.
Children are learning about tikanga and protocols associated with their identity as Māori. They are supported to practice their role as tangata whenua as they welcome visitors to the kōhanga reo. Some children are confident enough to initiate conversations with manuhiri. Whānau know the children and their background really well. They support children to learn their pepeha. Kaimahi model the importance of whānau relationships and connections. Children appear secure as they learn about their identity.
Children are immersed in whanaungatanga. Children are comfortable in their communication with others. Whānau encourage positive relationships with others. They provide expectations that promote and reinforce positive behaviour. Kaimahi encourage interactions between children that foster sharing, caring and aroha. Children are managed positively. Strategies of redirection and distraction are well utilised. Children have meaningful relationships with others.
Children are encouraged and supported to learn te reo Māori. The kuia models and monitors the quality of te reo Māori. The kaimahi use a range of strategies to support language development. These include prompting, questioning, waiata and positive reinforcement. Children are prompted and encouraged to respond and converse. Babies use non-verbal gestures to show understanding. Kaimahi use soft and positive communication skills with children. Children are developing as speakers of Māori.
Children are developing an awareness of how Māori view the natural and physical worlds. The current kaupapa is Matariki and children’s learning has been enriched with relevant waiata, a trip to an observatory, and a study of kai and its health benefits. Children can respond to kaimahi questions that recall learning and important messages related to nature. Children are genuinely interested in the stories of Matariki and her daughters. Children are developing as curious learners.
It is important that kaimahi raise and improve the quality of their own te reo Māori to extend and challenge children’s language development. While the children show they are confident and eager learners, they are limited by what the kaimahi know and use. It is timely for whānau to put in place a strategy to strengthen te reo Māori by kaimahi and whānau members.
The whānau manage the kōhanga in the interests of the children. The support of kaimahi from Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust has ensured the whānau have developed skills to maintain their financial systems and to update their administrative and management procedures.
Programme planning is a strength of kaimahi. Comprehensive and well-documented plans provide kaimahi with clear expectations for practice and meeting children’s needs. Attention is given to providing for different ages groups and learning needs. Children enjoy their planned activities.
The management of whānau operations requires further consideration. The appointment of a kaiwhakahaere would help to alleviate the pressure on kaimahi who currently carry out dual roles. Internal evaluation needs strengthening which is evident in the following areas.
Assessment practices can be reviewed to ensure these are manageable and sustainable for kaimahi. Kaimahi currently spend a considerable amount of time on assessments. They agree that developing a policy and guidelines to identify what is good practice as a next step for improving assessment. This will also assist whānau to understand better their children’s progress as learners.
Programme evaluation can be strengthened. It is difficult to evaluate how well the programme is monitored for its effectiveness. It is timely for kaimahi to consistently document and report to whānau about what is going well in the programme and what they are currently working on to improve children’s learning.
Strategic planning needs attention. The whānau has yet to identify their long-term priorities to support the ongoing development of the kōhanga reo. It is also important that an action plan is established so the whānau are able to monitor and report on progress made towards meeting their priorities.
It is time for the whānau to consider ways to regularly review policies and procedures. While kaimahi have input in to policies, it is important that the whānau understand and mandate these at whānau hui. The health and safety of the children is paramount.
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.
The whānau and ERO developed the following recommendations to strengthen internal evaluation:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Hūmārie will be in three years.
