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 Atamārie ki Tokoroa. Kua whai wāhi atu ētahi o ngā kaimahi ki te kōhanga reo mō ngā tau 30.

Ka āta whakatau ngā kaimahi kia tautāwhi, kia manaaki hoki ngā taunekeneke katoa ki waenga i ngā pakeke me ngā mokopuna. Ka whakatauira rātou i te aroha, te manaaki, me te whakaute i a rātou e taunekeneke ana ki ngā mokopuna. I ngā wā katoa, ka whakamihi, ka whakanui, ka whakakoia hoki ngā kaimahi i ngā whakapuakitanga a ngā mokopuna.

Ka taea e ngā mokopuna tuākana ō rātou pepeha te taki mā te āwhina iti noa. Kei te harikoa, kei te mauritau hoki ngā mokopuna, ā, ka ngākau nui rātou ki te noho tahi me ō rātou hoa.
E whakatairanga ana te hōtaka akoranga i ngā whai wāhitanga maha mō ngā mokopuna ki te tūhonohono ki tō rātou taiao whānui, mā te tūhura me te tākaro.

Kei te ngana ngā mokopuna hei ākonga.
Kei ngā kaimahi ngā tukanga whai hua mō te whakamahere me te aromatawai. E ākina ana, e tuituia ana hoki te whai wāhi mai a te whānau ki ngā mahere. Kei te mahere ako ngā mahere ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, ā-wiki, o ia rā hoki, ā, e whakatairanga ana i te papai o ngā akoranga mā ngā mokopuna. Ka whakahāngai ake i ngā mahere hei poipoi i ngā tūmomo rōpū reanga me ngā matea o ia tamaiti. E whai pūtake ana ngā mōhiohio aromatawai, ā, ka hono ki ngā whāinga ako, tae atu ki ngā kōrerorero e pā ana ki ngā taunekeneke a ngā mokopuna me tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki ngā akoranga. Ka whakamahia Te Aho Poutama hei whakaatu i ngā paki ako, i te ahu whakamua, me ngā whakaritenga ka whai ake ki te whānau. Nā tēnā, ka puta ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā whānau ki te hāpai tonu i tā rātou ahu whakamua ki ngā kāinga. E whai hua ana ngā mokopuna nā ngā akoranga e poipoi ana i ō rātou matea me ō rātou ngākau nuitanga.
Ko te whanaungatanga te tūāpapa o ngā mahi whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. He tini ngā whakatupuranga ā-whānau ki te kōhanga reo. Nā aua hononga, kua ata whakatōngia te manawa whakahī, te ngākau nuitanga anō hoki mō te kōhanga reo.

Kei te mahere ā-tau ngā tohu e ārahi ai i te whakatutukitanga o ngā mahi whakahaere matua ki te kōhanga reo me te tari, ā, i ngā wā hoki e tika ana kia whakatutukihia aua mahi. Ka arowhai i te haumaru o ngā kaimahi, tae atu ki ngā mahi arowhai a ngā pirihimana. Kua whakamōhiotia te mahere rautaki ki Te Ara Tūāpae, ā, ka tautuhi i te tirohanga me ngā wawata o te whānau mō ngā mokopuna. Ka arotahi ngā whāinga pae tawhiti ki te poipoi i te tupu o te reo Māori, hei āta whakatau i te angitu me te whakawhanake tonutanga o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei. Ka tautuhi te mahere mahi i te hunga ka kawe i te aru me te ahu whakamua o ngā takunetanga rautaki. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
I whakahuatia ake e te whānau tō rātou wawata ki te whakawhanake i ngā rautaki e pā ana ki te whakamahere tauatanga, hei āta whakatau i te ārahitanga o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei. E tautoko ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i taua kōkiritanga, nā te aronga ki ngā whakapaitanga me ngā whai huatanga mō te pae tawhiti, ā, nā te whakatairanga anō hoki i ngā putanga papai mō ngā mokopuna. Hei āhuatanga tonu o te tautoko kia whai māramatanga ai ngā whānau hou ki ngā whakaritenga e hāpai ai i te rere pai o te kōhanga reo, ka akiaki Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te whānau ki te arotake i ā rātou kaupapa here me ā rātou tukanga, hei āta whakatau i te māramatanga ki aua tūāhuatanga, i te hāngaitanga anō hoki o aua tuhinga ki te wā, ā, i te ārahitanga anō hoki o aua tuhinga i ngā whakaritenga. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna mā te whakamahere nahanaha.
Me whakapakari ake i te aromātai hōtaka. He mea nui kia whakariterite ngā kaimahi ki te aroturuki i te whai huatanga me te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whai hua hoki ngā mokopuna mā te whakapiki ake a ngā kaimahi i tō rātou mōhiotanga ki te aromātai hōtaka kia whai hua ai, me te whakamahi i tēnā ki te whakatairanga tonu i ngā wheako ako.
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.
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kia mahi tonu te whānau ki te taha o te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, kia whai tautoko rātou ki te whakapakari i te aromātai hōtaka me te arohaehae kaimahi.

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 Atamārie is in Tokoroa. Some kaimahi have been with the kōhanga reo for up to 30 years. Succession planning is a priority for whānau as well as ensuring the kōhanga reo continues to thrive and mokopuna and whānau benefit from the valuable knowledge that kaimahi bring.
Mokopuna express their understanding of whanaungatanga through positive and affirming interactions with each other and their kōhanga reo whānau.
Mokopuna experience an environment where relationships and learning are meaningful. Kaimahi ensure all interactions between adults and mokopuna are nurturing and caring. They model aroha, manaaki and respect when interacting with mokopuna. Kaimahi consistently praise, acknowledge, and affirm mokopuna contributions. They use a range of language strategies such as role modelling, questioning and prompting to support mokopuna language development. The daily routine offers regular opportunities for mokopuna to lead and participate in karakia, mihi-ki-te-tangata and waiata. Older mokopuna can recite their pepehā with minimal assistance. Mokopuna are happy and settled and enjoy the company of their peers.
The learning programme promotes frequent opportunities for mokopuna to make connections to their surroundings through exploration and play. Mokopuna are familiar with their learning spaces and make the most of the opportunities provided to initiate activities and be creative. Kaimahi ensure mokopuna can easily access a wide range of resources to stimulate their development and interest. Mokopuna are engaged learners.
Kaimahi have efficient processes in place for planning and assessment. Whānau input is encouraged and incorporated into planning. The mahere ako includes annual, term, weekly and daily plans that promote positive learning for mokopuna. Plans are modified to cater to different age groups and individual needs. Assessment information is purposeful and linked to learning goals which include comments about mokopuna interactions and engagement in learning. Te Aho Poutama is used to share individual mokopuna learning stories, progress and next steps with whānau. This provides opportunities for whānau to support their progress at home. Mokopuna benefit from learning that caters to their needs and interests.
Whanaungatanga provides the foundation for the way in which the kōhanga reo is managed. The kōhanga consists of a multi-generational whānau. These connections ensure a sense of pride and passion for the kōhanga reo. Whānau meet regularly to discuss matters of interest and to make informed decisions. Financial reports provide relevant information and is shared in hui. The annual plan provides some guidance for carrying out key operational and administrative tasks and when these are to be completed. Safety checking of kaimahi takes place, including police vetting. The strategic plan is informed by Te Ara Tūāpae and identifies the whānau vision and aspirations for mokopuna. Long term objectives focus on fostering the growth of te reo Māori to ensure success and future development of the kōhanga reo. An action plan identifies those responsible for tracking and progressing strategic intentions. Mokopuna are the centre of whānau whakahaere practices.
Whānau shared their aspiration to develop strategies aimed at succession planning to ensure future leadership of the kōhanga reo is in place. ERO supports this initiative as it focuses on long term improvements and benefits and promotes positive outcomes for mokopuna. As part of supporting new whānau to understand what is required to run the kōhanga reo successfully, ERO encourage whānau use their collective experience and skills to further strengthen policy review so that all policies are reviewed in a timely manner, are up to date and provide guidance. Mokopuna benefit from deliberate planning.
Programme evaluation requires strengthening. It is important kaimahi plan to monitor the effectiveness and quality of the learning programme. Mokopuna would benefit from kaimahi increasing their knowledge of effective programme evaluation and uses this to continually enhance learning experiences.
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 recommend the whānau continue to work alongside the Tari a Rohe for support with strengthening the key next steps of this report.

Ka whai tikanga te whānau puta noa i te rā. Kei te mōhio ngā tamariki ki ngā tikanga e pā ana ki ngā wā kai, ā, ka tatari kia noho tahi te katoa i mua i te karakia.

Ahakoa e rumakina ana ngā tamariki ki te reo Māori, he pai kē atu ki a rātou te kōrero i te reo Pākehā. Kua tae ki te wā kia whakaritea e ngā kaimahi ngā rautaki e whakapakari ake ai i te whakamahinga a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori.
Ko ngā tukanga mō te whakamahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai, e arotahi katoa ana ki ngā matea o ngā tamariki. E whakanuia ana te whai wāhi mai a te whānau ki ngā wāhanga katoa o taua huarahi.

Ka whakamahia te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo huarahi aromatawai hei aru, hei aroturuki hoki i te ahu whakamua.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Atamārie is in Tokoroa. Some kaimahi that have worked in the kōhanga reo for up to 30 years. The kaiwhakahaere works with the executive committee to support whānau decision making. A kōhanga reo focus is to increase the number of kaimahi with Te Tohu Whakapakari.
Children move around the kōhanga reo with ease and engage with their peers and adults.
Children enjoy an environment that is based on whanaungatanga. Kaimahi are attentive and responsive to children’s needs. Babies are carried, kissed and hugged. Older children engage in positive interactions with kaimahi. They also show respect and care with the teina and babies. Children work well together and share resources. They are comfortable in their environment. Children show enjoyment in their relationships with others.
Children know the routines. Kaimahi have well established expectations within the kōhanga reo. They gently remind children of these when required. Whānau follow tikanga during the day. children know tikanga at kai time and wait for everyone to be seated for karakia. Older girls are given the responsibility to recite pao to initiate eating times. Tuakāna support teina in several activities. Transitions between programmes flow. Children are secure in their daily activities.
Children learn in a well-resourced learning environment. Kaimahi ensure the learning environment is well organised. Activities and resources are set up before children arrive. Children move around with ease. The environment is safe, well maintained, and ordered. Children can choose their activities and follow their interests. They have opportunities to work alongside others or to work on their own. Children are engagement in their learning and play.
Whilst children are immersed in a te reo Māori environment, they prefer to speak English. It is time for kaimahi to seek strategies to strengthen the use of te reo Māori amongst children.
Planning, assessment and evaluation processes are focused on children’s needs. Contribution from whānau is valued at all stages of this process. Kaimahi seek advice from external providers to support children with additional needs. A range of assessments methods are used to track and monitor progress. Kaimahi record what went well, what didn’t go well and discuss solutions to improve their teaching. Children’s learning needs are addressed.
Whānau contribute to all areas of operation. Roles and responsibilities of whānau and kaimahi are well established. They attend monthly hui and actively engage in the maintenance and up keep of their whare. Regular reporting about finances, the learning programme and kōhanga reo operations are tabled at hui. Performance management of kaimahi is focused on their professional development. Whānau work with outside agencies to endorse and fulfil community initiatives that benefit young Māori mothers and their children. Children interests are a priority.
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 Atamārie will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Atamārie ki Tokoroa. E tino tautokona ana te kōhanga reo e ngā kaumātua kua roa nei e whai wāhi atu ana, me te noho pūmau hoki o te whānau. Ko te aronga a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki ngā taunekeneke a ngā tamariki ki ētahi atu e tohu ana i tō rātou āheinga ki te whakapūmau i ngā hononga papai ki ō rātou hoa, ngā kaimahi, me te whānau.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Atamārie i roto i te toru o ngā tau.
‘Ka mōhio ana te tamaiti Maori ki tōna ake ao, ngā tikanga me tōna reo rangatira, ka tū pakari ia i roto i tenei ao hurihuri, a, haere ake nei.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Atamārie ki Tokoroa. Nō te tau 1991 te kōhanga reo i whakatūngia ai. Ka tohua ki ngā pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, i te tupu tonu me te whakawhanake tonu o tēnei kōhanga reo. Kua āta whakawhanakehia te taiao. He pakari te āheinga o ngā kaimahi me te whānau. He kaha te noho pūmau o te whānau, ā, he mātātoa te whai wāhi mai o ngā reanga katoa.
Ka rongo, ka whakapūmau hoki ngā tamariki i ngā hononga papai ki ētahi atu.
Ka rumakina ngā tamariki ki tētahi wāhi e whakapūmau ana i te reo Māori mō ngā whakawhitinga kōrero. Ka whakarato ngā pākeke i tētahi horopaki kia āhei ai ngā tamariki ki te whai wāhi atu me te whakawhiti kōrero anō hoki ki ō rātou hoa, ki ngā kaimahi, ā, ki te whānau hoki. Ka ārahi ngā kaimahi i ngā taumahi akoranga i āta whakatakotohia ai, ā, e hāngai ana ēnei ki ngā karakia o ia rā, me ngā hīmene, ngā waiata, ngā mihimihi, ngā pepeha me ngā kaupapa ako, hei whakatairanga ake i te whakawhanaketanga reo Māori o ngā tamariki. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki pērā i ngā kupu akiaki, te patapatai, me te whakamihi, hei akiaki, hei tautoko anō hoki i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki. Kei te pakari haere ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
Ka noho whanau ana nga tamariki, ka kitea atu te aroha te manaaki me te whakaaro nui mai tetahi ki tetahi. Ka whai pānga nui te whanaungatanga ki te ako a ngā tamariki me ō rātou whakawhanaketanga. Ka whakatairanga ngā kaimahi i te pai o ngā taunekeneke me ngā hononga ki waenga i a rātou anō, ki ngā tamariki, ā, ki ētahi atu anō hoki. Ka hāpai rātou i ngā tamariki tuākana ki te manaaki me te ārahi i ngā tamariki tēina. Ka whakatauira ngā pākeke me ngā kuia o te hapori nei i te pai o te manaaki tangata ki ngā tamariki. Ka ako ngā tamariki i ngā tino uaratanga, ngā tino āhuatanga hoki o te whakawhanaungatanga. Whakamihia ai e ngā kaimahi i ia te wā ngā whakamātau me ngā whakatutukitanga a ngā tamariki. He ākonga harikoa, he ākonga mauritau hoki ngā tamariki.
He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki te ako i te ao e noho nei rātou. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi me ngā rauemi kia āhei ai ngā tamariki ki te tūhura me te whakatewhatewha haere. Ka whakarato rātou i ngā wāhi ako whakahihiri e mau ana i te maha o ngā rauemi papai. Ka kōkiri ngā tamariki i ngā tūmomo taumahi ako, ā, ka kawe ake anō hoki rātou i ngā mahinga o ia rā, pērā i te hora i ngā kai paramanawa, me te whakapai i ngā tēpu. Ka āta aroturuki ngā kaimahi i te whakawhiti atu a ngā tamariki tēina ki te rōpū reanga ka whai ake. E āta whakatutukihia ana ngā matea o ngā tamariki katoa mā te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo hōtaka akoranga e whakaratohia ana e ngā kaimahi. Kei te tino mōhio ngā tamariki ki ō rātou kaimahi me tō rātou whānau. Ka noho pūmau rātou ki te whakaaro ka poipoia tō rātou waiora. Ka ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki te noho ki te kōhanga reo, ā, ko te ako, te whakawhanaketanga anō hoki i te katoa o te tamaiti te aronga matua.
Ka ako ngā tamariki ki tētahi wāhi e hāpaitia ana e tō rātou whānau. Ka whai hua ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau ki te kōhanga reo. E pou here ana te whanaungatanga me te whakapapa i te mahi ngātahi a te whānau. E wātea ana ki a rātou te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rauemi, ngā tūmomo mātanga anō hoki o tēnei takiwā, hei hāpai i ā rātou mahi. He matawhānui ngā mahere o te pae tawhiti me te pae tata. Ka aroturuki, ka pūrongo hoki i ia te wā, i runga anō i te āhua o ngā taumata rautaki me ngā whāinga. He pai te whakahaere a te whānau i ngā rawa hei āta whakapūmau i te hauora me te noho haumaru o ngā kaimahi me ngā tamariki. E whai hua ana te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi me te āhua o ngā mahi.
Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā te kaha whakarite a ngā kaimahi. Ka mahi ngātahi rātou ki te whakarato i ngā hōtaka akoranga e whakahihiri mārika ana i ngā tamariki. Ka whakamahi rātou i te katoa o ō rātou pūkenga, ō rātou pūmanawa anō hoki ki te whakamahere, te whakapuaki, me te aroturuki i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whakaaro huritao rātou, ā, he mārama tā rātou aronga ki ngā tino putanga ki ngā tamariki. Kei ngā pūkete te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo tauira mahi, ngā whakaahua hoki, ā, e āta whakaatu ana ēnei i ngā wheako akoranga a ngā tamariki. Ka whiwhi ngā mātua me ngā whānau i ngā tino mōhiohio e pā ana ki te ako a ā rātou tamariki, me te atawhai i a rātou, tō rātou whakawhanaketanga anō hoki. Ka whakamanahia, ka whakanuia hoki te ako a ngā tamariki.
He mārama te tirohanga a te whānau mō te kōhanga reo me ā rātou tamariki. He tino tauāki ki te tūtohinga mō te tūnga o te reo Māori me ōna tikanga. He mahere tā te whānau mō te tuku ā-whakatupuranga nei i te kōhanga reo, hei āta whakapūmau i te noho matua o te reo Māori me ngā tikanga Māori i ngā wā katoa.
E mōhio ana te whānau, ko tētahi kaupapa matua, ko te whai wāhi ake a te whānau. He mātātoa tētahi rōpū o ngā whānau ki te whakatutuki haere i ngā whakahaeretanga me ngā kaupapa ki te kōhanga reo.
I te wā o te arotake, i whakamātauhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha o te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei e whai pānga nui ana ki te waiora o ngā tamariki:
Ko te tikanga, ka whakatairanga ngā kōhanga reo katoa i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, me te arotake anō hoki i ia te wā i tā rātou whakatutukitanga i ngā herenga ā-ture.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Atamārie ki Tokoroa. E tino tautokona ana te kōhanga reo e ngā kaumātua kua roa nei e whai wāhi atu ana, me te noho pūmau hoki o te whānau. Ko te aronga a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki ngā taunekeneke a ngā tamariki ki ētahi atu e tohu ana i tō rātou āheinga ki te whakapūmau i ngā hononga papai ki ō rātou hoa, ngā kaimahi, me te whānau.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Atamārie i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Atamārie is in Tokoroa. The kōhanga reo is strongly supported by long serving kaumātua and a committed whānau. ERO’s focus on children’s interactions with others show that they are able to maintain positive relationships with their peers, kaimahi and whānau.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Atamārie will be in three years.
‘Ka mōhio ana te tamaiti Māori ki tōna ake ao, ngā tikanga me tōna reo rangatira, ka tū pakari ia roto i tēnei ao hurihuri, a, hāere ake nei.’
Te Kōhanga Reo o Atamārie is in Tokoroa. The kōhanga reo was established in 1991. The ERO reporting history of this kōhanga reo shows continued growth and development. The physical environments are well developed. Kaimahi and whānau capacity is strong. They have strong retention of whānau and active participation of the different generations.
Children experience and maintain positive relationships with others.
Children are immersed in an environment where te reo Māori is the language of communication. Adults provide an setting where children are able to engage and communicate with peers, kaimahi and whānau. Kaimahi lead structured learning activities based around daily karakia, hīmene, waiata, mihimihi, pepeha and kaupapa ako to enhance children’s te reo Maori development. Kaimahi use strategies such as prompts, questioning and praise to encourage and support children’s language development. Children are developing confidence to speak te reo Māori.
Children demonstrate aroha, manaaki, care and concern for others. Whanaungatanga is an important part of children’s learning and development. Kaimahi promote positive interactions and relationships with each other, with children and others. They support older children to care for and lead the younger children. Adults, including local kuia model good caring relationships for children. Children learn important values and practices when relating to others. Kaimahi regularly praise children’s efforts and achievements. Children are happy and settled learners.
Children enjoy learning about the world around them. Kaimahi provide a range of activities and resources that children can explore and investigate. They provide vibrant and well-resourced learning environments. Children lead different learning activities and to take responsibility for daily routines such as serving snacks and clearing tables. Kaimahi closely monitor the smooth transition of younger children as they move to the next age group. The needs of all children are catered for through various learning programmes that kaimahi provide. Children know their kaimahi and whānau well. They trust that their wellbeing will be nurtured. Children love being at kōhanga reo where their holistic learning and development is a priority.
Children learn in an environment supported by their whānau. Whānau members effectively manage kōhanga reo operations. Whanaungatanga and whakapapa underpin how whānau work together. They have access to a wide range of local resources and expertise to support their work. Long term and short term planning is comprehensive. There is regular monitoring and reporting against strategic targets and goals. Whānau manage property well to ensure the health and safety of kaimahi and children. Personnel and performance management is effective.
Children benefit from kaimahi who are organised. They work well together to provide high interest learning programmes for children. They use their collective skills and expertise to plan, deliver and monitor the learning programme. They are reflective and have a clear focus on positive outcomes for children. Profile books contain a range of work samples and photographs that highlight children’s learning experiences. Parents and whānau receive useful information about their children’s learning, care and development. Children's learning is valued and acknowledged.
Whānau have a clear vision for the kōhanga reo and their children. The charter makes a strong statement about the status of te reo Māori me ōna tikanga. Whānau have an intergenerational succession plan in place to ensure that te reo Māori and tikanga Māori remain a constant priority.
Whānau acknowledge that increasing whānau participation is a priority. A core group of whānau members is proactive in dealing with operations and events 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:
Whānau and kaimahi work together to encourage more whānau participation.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Atamārie is in Tokoroa. The kōhanga reo is strongly supported by long serving kaumātua and a committed whānau. ERO’s focus on children’s interactions with others show that they are able to maintain positive relationships with their peers, kaimahi and whānau.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Atamārie will be in three years.
