E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Kauriki ki te marae o Kauriki, ki Taumarunui. Ka whai wāhi matua ngā kaumātua ki te kōhanga reo hei kaiako matua, hei kaiwhakarite hoki. Nō nā noa nei ētahi kaiāwhina hou i piri mai ai ki te tīma. He hononga ō te whānau ki te marae me ngā hapū o te takiwā, ā, ka whai wāhi atu te kōhanga reo i ia te wā ki ngā kaupapa i te marae.
Ka whakapuakihia e ngā mokopuna te whanaungatanga, i a rātou e ako ngātahi ana, e taunekeneke ngātahi ana.
E ako ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao e poipoi ana i te aronga toi whenuatanga. Kei te tākare ngā taunekeneke a ngā kaimahi me ngā mokopuna, ā, he aroha, he atawhai hoki. Kua whakapuakihia e rātou te wairua papai, ā, e wātea ana ngā mokopuna ki te tūhura i tō rātou taiao me te whai wāhi atu ki te tangongitanga o ngā wheako. Ko te tae atu ki ngā kaupapa i te marae tētahi o ngā whai wāhitanga ako. Ka ako ngā mokopuna i ngā tikanga me ngā kawa, me tō rātou tū anō hoki hei tangata whenua. Ka ngākau nui ngā mokopuna ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā whakatau, ā, ka taunekeneke ki ngā manuhiri mā te harirū me te hongi. Ka whakapuaki ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te ārahi i ētahi wāhanga o te hōtaka akoranga, ā, he pārekareka anō hoki ki ngā mokopuna te whiriwhiri i ā rātou ake taumahi, me te whai i ō rātou ake ngākau nuitanga. E whanake ana ngā mokopuna i te mōhiotanga ki ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu.
E rumakina ana ngā mokopuna ki te reo Māori. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te tangongitanga o ngā rautaki e whakatairanga ake ai i te māramatanga o ngā mokopuna, me tā rātou whakamahinga anō hoki i te reo Māori. Ko ētahi o aua rautaki, ko te tāruarua, te whakatauira, ngā tohu ā-ringa, me te patapatai. Ka taki ngā mokopuna i ngā karakia, ka waiata i ngā wai, ā, ka whakahua ake i ngā mihimihi. Ka taea e ētahi o ngā tuākana te tū takitahi ki te taki i ō rātou pepeha, ā, ka hāpaitia ngā mokopuna tēina e ngā kaimahi. Ka tāwhai ngā pēpi i ngā oro, ā, ka whakamahi i ngā tohu ā-ringa hei whakaatu i ō rātou hiahia, hei whakautu hoki i ngā pātai. Ka atawhai ngā kaimahi, ā, ka whakamihi, ka whakanui hoki i ngā whakamātau a ngā mokopuna i ia te wā. Ka whakapuaki ngā mokopuna i ō rātou whakaaro mā ngā huarahi e tika ana mō ō rātou ake māramatanga.
Ka ārahi ngā mahere i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whai wāhi ki ngā mahere, ko te ako a ngā mokopuna i ngā atua Māori me ngā kaupeka o te tau. Ka hono ngā kaupapa whānui, ngā kaupapa whāiti me ngā taumahi o ia rā ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo. Ko te ako a ngā mokopuna i roto i te roanga o te wā, ka whakaemihia ki ngā kōnae ako. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā Mātai Mokopuna ki te tuhi haere i ngā akoranga. Ka noho mōhio ngā whānau ki te ahu whakamua me te ako a ngā mokopuna. He auau ngā whakamōhiotanga me ngā urupare ōpaki ki waenga i ngā kaimahi me te whānau mā ngā pae ā-ipurangi. He hononga papai, he hononga tauutuutu hoki ō ngā mokopuna ki ētahi atu.
Ka mahi ngātahi ngā whānau ki te whakarato i tētahi taiao ako e haumaru ana, e whai oranga ana hoki mō ngā mokopuna. He whakawhirinakitanga ki waenga i ngā whānau me ngā kaimahi, ā, ka whakamanahia aua hononga. Tū ai ngā hui ā-whānau i ia marama, he kaha te taetae atu, ā, ka whai wāhi atu te whānau ki te whakatau ngātahi i ngā whakaritenga. Ka hāngai ngā whāinga rautaki ki Te Ara Tūāpae. Kei te mahere ā-tau te ārahitanga mārama mō ngā kawenga mahi katoa i te tari. I ngā wā katoa, ka aroturukitia, ka pūrongohia hoki e te whānau ngā take e pā ana ki ngā pūtea, ki te arotakenga o ngā kaupapa here, ki ngā rawa, me ngā kaimahi. E āta tautokona ana te whakawhanaketanga ngaio o ngā kaimahi mā te tukanga arohaehae. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā ngā whakataunga e aro matua ana ki te whanaungatanga.
Ko te aromātai i te hōtaka akoranga tētahi āhuatanga hei tirohanga. He iti noa ngā whakaaturanga e tohu ana i te whakahaeretanga a ngā kaimahi i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero aromātai e arotahi ana ki te arotake, ki te whakapai ake rānei i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka poipoia ake ngā matea o ngā mokopuna i te wā e aromātai auau ana ngā kaimahi, ā, e ū ana ki te whakatairanga tonu i te hōtaka akoranga.
Me whakapakari ake i te māramatanga o ngā whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te Children's Act 2014. Kei te mōhio te whānau – ā, e whakatau ana hoki Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga – ko te whai atu i ētahi atu wānanga me ētahi atu whakangungu ka hāpai i a rātou ki te whai māramatanga ki ā rātou takohanga i raro i te ture. Ka whakatairangatia te hauora me te waiora o ngā mokopuna i te wā ka noho mārama ake ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki ā rātou tukanga me ā rātou kawenga mahi.
Ahakoa he mahere rautaki ā te whānau, kua tae ki te wā ki te whakatinana i tētahi mahere mahi e aroturuki ai i te ahu whakamua ki te whakatutuki i ngā kaupapa rautaki me ngā whāinga rautaki. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna i te wā e āta whakaarohia ana ō rātou matea mō meāke nei.
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.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:

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 Kauriki is located at Kauriki Marae in Taumarunui. Kaumātua play pivotal roles in the kōhanga reo as kaiako matua and kaiwhakarite. New kaiāwhina have recently joined the team. Whānau are connected to the marae and local hapū and the kōhanga is regularly involved in marae events.
Mokopuna express whanaungatanga as they learn and interact with one another.
Mokopuna learn in an environment that fosters a sense of belonging. Kaimahi interactions with mokopuna are enthusiastic, loving and affectionate. They have created a positive atmosphere where mokopuna are free to explore their environment and participate in a range of experiences. Learning opportunities include attending marae kaupapa. Mokopuna learn about tikanga and kawa and their role as tangata whenua. Mokopuna happily engage in whakatau and interact with manuhiri by harirū and hongi. Kaimahi give mokopuna opportunities to lead aspects of the learning programme and mokopuna also enjoy choosing their own activities and following their own interests. Mokopuna are developing an awareness of their connections to others.
Mokopuna are immersed in te reo Māori. Kaimahi use a range of strategies to enhance mokopuna understanding and use of te reo Māori. This includes repetition, role modelling, hand actions and questioning. Mokopuna recite karakia, sing waiata and practice mihimihi. Some tuākana can recite their pēpeha unassisted, while younger mokopuna are prompted by kaimahi. Pēpi mimic sounds and use hand gestures to communicate their needs and respond to questions. Kaimahi are nurturing and consistently praise and acknowledge mokopuna efforts. Mokopuna express their thoughts and ideas in ways appropriate to their level of understanding.
Planning provides guidance for the learning programme. Planning includes mokopuna learning about atua Māori and the seasons of the year. Kaupapa whānui, kaupapa whāiti and daily activities link to Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo. Mokopuna learning overtime is collated in kōnae ako. Kaimahi use mātai mokopuna to document learning. Whānau are kept informed about mokopuna progress and learning. Regular updates and informal feedback are shared between kaimahi and whānau using social media platforms. Mokopuna have positive reciprocal relationships with others.
Whānau work together to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for mokopuna. Relationships between whānau and kaimahi are mutually trusting and valued. Whānau hold regular, well-attended monthly hui and are involved in collective decision making. Strategic objectives align to Te Ara Tūāpae. An annual plan provides clear guidance for all administrative responsibilities. Finances, policy review, property and personnel matters are consistently monitored and reported on by the whānau. Kaimahi professional development is well supported through the appraisal process. Mokopuna benefit from decision making that prioritises whanaungatanga.
Evaluating the learning programme requires attention. There is little evidence to indicate kaimahi have evaluative discussions focused on reviewing or improving the learning programme. Mokopuna needs are better catered for when kaimahi regularly evaluate and continually enhance the learning programme.
Whānau and kaimahi understanding of the Children’s Act 2014 requires strengthening. Whānau know, and ERO agree, that further wānanga and training will help them to understand their obligations to the act. Mokopuna safety and wellbeing is enhanced when kaimahi and whānau better understand their procedures and responsibilities.
While the whānau have a strategic plan, it is time to implement an action plan to monitor progress towards meeting the strategic priorities and goals. 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.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:

Hei wāhanga tonu o āna mahi, ko Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te tari kāwanatanga ka aromātai i ngā kōhanga reo puta noa i Aotearoa. He pārongo kōrero ki ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga mā te whānau, mā ngā hapū, mā ngā iwi, me ngā hapori.
Kua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, me ngā hapori ki te whakatakoto i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i ngā whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Kauriki ki te marae o Kauriki. Mai i te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2018, kua whakatutukihia e te whānau ētahi tino whakarerekētanga me ētahi whakapaitanga nui. Kua mahi ngātahi te kaiwhakarato SELO me te whānau ki te whakapakari ake i te āheinga o te whānau ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo me te whakatairanga ake i ngā tino painga mō ngā mokopuna.
Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te aronga nui o ngā wheako ako me te atawhai.
Kei te whakawhanakehia e ngā mokopuna ngā hononga manaaki mā roto mai i tētahi taiao ako e poipoi ana i a rātou, ā, i āta whakamaheretia ai hoki. Kua whakatakoto ngā kaimahi i ngā mahinga kia whāia e ngā mokopuna, ā, e whakatairanga ana ēnei i ngā taunekeneke papai a tētahi ki tētahi. E whai pūtake ana ngā taumahi, ā, ka akiaki i te ako ngātahi a ngā tuākana me ngā tēina. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna kia arahina, kia tautokona tētahi e tētahi i ngā kaupapa ōkawa, pērā i ngā pōwhiri ki ngā manuhiri, i ngā karakia, ā, i ngā waiata hoki. Ka ako ngātahi ngā mokopuna, ā, ka manaaki, ka whakaute hoki.
E ako ana ngā mokopuna ki te tūhura haere mā roto mai i te taiao o te kōhanga reo. Ka whakamahere ngā kaimahi i ngā wheako ako e hāpai ana i ngā mokopuna ki te whai i ō rātou ake ngākau nuitanga. He whai wāhitanga mō rātou i te tangongitanga o ngā taumahi, ki te whakaaro pohewa i a rātou e tūhura ana, e mahi auaha ana hoki. E hāpaitia ana te whai wāhi atu a ngā mokopuna ki te taiao o waho mā te wairua pākiki me te ngākau nui ki te ako.
Ko ngā pūmanawa me ngā matea o ngā mokopuna te aronga o ngā mahere. Ka tāutu, ka aroturuki, ka tuhi hoki ngā kaimahi i te ahu whakamua me te whakawhanaketanga o ngā mokopuna mā Te Mātai Tamaiti. Ka whakamōhiotia te whānau ki tēnā e ākona ana e ngā mokopuna, ā, ki te āhua hoki o tā rātou ahu whakamua i roto i te roanga o te wā. He tirohanga whānui kei ngā mahere ā-tau me ngā mahere ā-wāhanga mō ngā akoranga a ngā mokopuna. E āta poipoia ana ngā matea ako ake o ngā mokopuna.
Ko te waiora o ngā mokopuna e ārahi ana i ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau. E āta ārahi ana, e āta whakatakoto ana hoki te tūtohinga i te huarahi mō te whānau. E hāngai ana ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga o te hauora me te haumaru ki ngā herenga ā-ture o te wā. E whai kiko ana ngā pūrongo pūtea, ā, ka whakaatuhia ki ngā hui ā-whānau. E ārahi ana te mahere ā-tau i ngā whakataunga a te whānau mō ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Kua whakatinanahia te mahere rautaki ki Te Ara Tūāpae. Ka arotahi ki te whakamana i te whānau me ngā mokopuna, ki te whakawhanaketanga o te reo Māori, ā, ki te whakatairanga i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Kua whakatakotohia ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi. Kua whakatutukihia ngā mahi e arohaehae ana i ngā kaimahi, ā, ka noho pūmau te aronga i ia te wā ki te whakawhanaketanga ngaio. Kua whakaritea hoki ngā rehita e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, ā, ka hāngai hoki ki ngā kaupapa here o te kōhanga reo. Whakatutukihia ai ngā akoako hōneatanga ohotata mō te ahi me te rū whenua i ia te wā. E tino poipoia ana te hauora, te haumaru, me te waiora o ngā mokopuna.
Kei te tīmata ngā kaimahi ki te aromātai me te tuhi haere i ngā whakataunga e whakatairanga ake ai i te whakapuakitanga o te hōtaka. Ko te whakaōkawa i taua āhuatanga o te aromātai o roto ka whai wāhi atu ki te haere tonutanga o ngā whakapaitanga ki ngā whakaritenga whakaako, ā, ki te whakatairanga i ngā tino painga mō ngā mokopuna.
I te wā o te aromātai, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei:
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me Te Kōhanga Reo o Kauriki te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:

The Education Review Office (ERO) is the government department that, as part of its work, evaluates kōhanga reo throughout Aotearoa. ERO’s reports provide information for whānau, hapū,iwi and communities.
The Education Review Office, whānau, leaders and communities provide evaluation insights that foster improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Kauriki is based on Kauriki Marae. Since the 2018 ERO report, the whānau have made significant changes and improvement. The strengthening early learning opportunities (SELO) provider and the whānau have worked together to build whānau capability to manage the kōhanga reo and promote positive outcomes for mokopuna.
Mokopuna benefit from focused learning experiences and care.
Mokopuna develop caring relationships in a well-planned and supportive learning environment. Kaimahi have established routines for mokopuna to follow that promote positive interactions with one another. Purposeful activities encourage tuākana and teina to learn alongside each other. Kaimahi encourage mokopuna to lead and support each other in formal activities, such as pōwhiri for manuhiri, karakia and waiata. Mokopuna learn collaboratively and are caring and respectful.
Mokopuna are learning to explore in the kōhanga reo environment. Kaimahi plan learning experiences that allow mokopuna to follow their own interests. A range of activities provide opportunities for them to use their imagination as they explore and be creative. Mokopuna are supported to engage with the outdoor environment as curious and interested learners.
Mokopuna strengths and needs are a focus of planning. Kaimahi identify, monitor and document the progress and development of mokopuna through mātai tamaiti. Whānau are informed of what mokopuna are learning and their progress over time. Yearly and term plans provide an overview for mokopuna learning. The specific learning needs of mokopuna are well catered for.
Mokopuna wellbeing guides whānau management practices. The tūtohinga provides clear guidance and direction for whānau. Health and safety policies and procedures align to current legislation. Financial reports are detailed and presented at whānau hui. The annual plan guides whānau decision making about kōhanga reo operations. The strategic plan is informed by Te Ara Tūāpae. It focuses on empowering whānau and mokopuna, the development of te reo Māori, and promoting te kōhanga reo kaupapa. Personnel documentation is in place. Appraisals are complete with an ongoing focus on professional development. Health and safety registers are in place and align to kōhanga reo policy. Emergency evacuations for fire and earthquake are practised. The health, safety and wellbeing of mokopuna are well managed.
Kaimahi are in the early stages of evaluating and documenting decisions that will enhance programme delivery. Formalising this aspect of internal evaluation should lead to ongoing improvements to teaching practice and enhance positives outcomes for mokopuna.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Kauriki ki te marae o Kauriki. E pā tata mai ana Te Kura o Ngāpuke ki te kōhanga reo, ā, he māmā noa te tae atu mā raro. He maha ngā wero ā-kaimahi, ā-pūtea hoki hei whakatutukitanga mā te whānau i roto i te tau kua pahure ake nei. Kua whai wāhi atu ngā kaimahi ā-rohe o te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te hāpai atu. Nā aua take, kīhai te kōhanga reo i whakahaere mō ngā marama e ono i te tīmatanga o tēnei tau. I te marama o Hōngongoi te kōhanga reo i whakapuare anō ai, ā, he hou te kaiako me te whānau. E mahi ana rātou ki te taha o te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te whakapakari ake i te āheinga o te whānau ki te ahu whakamua.
Kei te mauritau ngā tamariki, ā, ka tākaro harikoakoa rātou ki tō rātou kōhanga reo.
E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki i ngā hononga papai. E arahina ana te hōtaka akoranga ki ngā mahinga o ia rā. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki ngā wāhanga ōkawa o te rā e mau nei i ngā karakia me ngā hīmene. Kei te hāneanea tō rātou noho ki tō rātou taiao e tino mōhiotia ana e rātou, arā, ko te marae me te kōhanga reo. Mā te reo Māori ngā tohutohu ki ngā tamariki. Ka kitea tō rātou māramatanga ki aua tohutohu mā te āhua o ā rātou mahi ki tēnā e pātaihia ana. He iti noa te reo Māori a te whānau, engari ka whakamahi tonu rātou i tēnā e mōhiotia ana e rātou. Ka āta whakamātau rātou ki te whakaongaonga i ngā tamariki ahakoa te iti noa o ngā rauemi. I te nuinga o te wā e whai wāhi atu ana ngā tamariki ki te tākaro māhorahora.
Kāhore te hōtaka akoranga e tino whakawero ana i ngā whakaaro o ngā tamariki, kāhore rānei e āta whakatutuki i ō rātou matea ako. Ka aro matua te nuinga o te hōtaka ki te tākaro. E whakawhāitihia ana te ako a ngā tamariki nā te kore whai aronga. Ka whakapau kaha te kaiāwhina ki te kōrero i te reo Māori e mōhiotia ana e ia, engari ko te nuinga o ngā whakawhitinga kōrero kei roto kē i te reo Pākehā. E whakamahi ana i ngā tohu māmā. Kei te mārama ngā tamariki ki tēnā e pātaihia ana. Kia whanake ai te ngākau titikaha o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori, me whakapakari ake ngā kaimahi me te whānau i tō rātou tū, i tō rātou āheinga anō hoki ki te whakapuaki i te katoa o te hōtaka akoranga mā te reo Māori.
I tēnei wā, e ako ana te whānau i ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga, ā, i tēnā anō hoki e tika ana mō te whakahaeretanga o tō rātou kōhanga reo. He hou te kaiwhakahaere me te kaiako. E mōhio ana rāua, he nui tonu ngā mahi kei mua i a rāua. He maha tonu ngā take e tāwēwē tonu ana hei whakatika ake kia pakari ake ai te arotake whaiaro. E mōhio ana te whānau ki ngā āhuatanga e whai ake nei, hei whakatutuki tonu:
Kāhore he tukanga mō te whakamahere hōtaka me te aromātai. Hei whakarato i te hanganga me te riterite anō hoki mā ngā tamariki, ka whakatakoto tētahi hōtaka akoranga i āta whakamaheretia ai i ngā aratohu mārama ki te whakahaere me te whakarite i te hōtaka akoranga. I tēnei wā, kāhore ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki e whai aronga ana
Kāhore anō te tūtohinga kia arotakengia, kia whakahoungia hoki. Mā tēnei, ka puta ki te whānau ngā aratohu mārama e pā ana ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo me tēnā e tika ana mō te whakahaeretanga o ngā mahi matua. I tēnei wā, kāhore te whānau e tino mārama ana ki ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga
Kāhore anō tētahi mahere rautaki kia whakaritea. Ka hāpai tēnei i te whānau ki te whakatutuki haere i ā rātou kaupapa matua o te pae tawhiti, ā, ka whakapūmau anō hoki i te rōnakitanga o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei. Ka whakatutukihia te pūmanawa me te rōnakitanga o te pae tawhiti o te kōhanga reo mā tētahi aronga e whakamaheretia ai. Mā tēnei, ka tūturuhia te whakaaro o te hapori me ngā tamariki ki te noho pūmau o te kōhanga reo mō ngā whakatupuranga kei te heke tonu mai
Kua roa nei te kore arotakenga o ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga. Ko tētahi mea nui i roto i taua mahi arotake, ko te whakahāngai i ngā kaupapa here matua me ngā tukanga matua o te hauora me te haumaru ki ngā herenga ā-ture o tēnei wā, tae atu hoki ki Te Ture Oranga Tamariki o te tau 2014. He mea nui anō hoki te whakakore i ngā āhuatanga e pā tōraro ana ki te haumaru o ngā tamariki
I tēnei wā, he maha ngā rēhita kāhore anō kia whakatakotohia. Ko ētahi o aua rēhita e pā ana ki te whakamoe (arā, kia tirohia te tamaiti i ia 10 meneti), te whāngai i ngā rongoā, te arowhai i ngā āhuatanga mōrearea, me ngā akoako hōneatanga ohorere. Kāhore anō kia whakatakotohia ā-tuhi nei i ngā whakaaturanga me ngā mahere ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga mōrearea. Kei te whakawhara tēnei i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki
He take kaimahi e pā ana ki te whakatakotoranga o ngā tuhinga e tika ana. Kīhai i taea e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te whakapā atu ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi, ngā kirimana mahi rānei o te kaiako hou. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki i te wā e noho mārama ana ngā kaiako ki ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga mahi
Kāhore he mahere ā-tau hei hāpai i te whakaritenga a te whānau me ngā kaimahi kia tutukihia te katoa o ngā herenga ā-ture me ngā rārangi mahi. Ko ngā mahere i āta whai whakaarohia ai, ka hāpai i te whai huatanga o ngā mahi ki te whakahaere i te katoa o ngā whakaritenga.
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 tāutuhia ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture, ā, me tahuri:
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 o Kauriki i roto i te kotahi tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Kauriki is based on Kauriki marae. Te Kura o Ngāpuke is within walking distance. The whānau has had to deal with significant personnel and financial challenges in the past year. Support has been provided by Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust (TKRNT) kaimahi. Due to these issues the kōhanga reo did not operate for the first 6 months of this year. In July it restarted with a new kaiako and new whānau. They are working with TKRNT to build whānau capability to move forward.
Children are settled and play happily in their kōhanga reo.
Children are developing positive relationships. The learning programme is guided by daily routines. Children participate in the formal part of the day which consists of karakia and hīmene. They are comfortable and familiar with their environment, which is the local marae and kōhanga reo. Children receive instructions in te reo Māori. They display an understanding of these instructions through their reactions to what is being asked. Whānau have limited te reo Māori but use what they have. They also try to keep children occupied with limited resources. Children spend most of the time in unstructured play.
The learning programme does very little to challenge children’s thinking or meet their learning needs. The majority of the programme is play based. Children’s learning is restricted because of the lack of direction. The kaiāwhina speaks Māori to the best of her ability, however the majority of communication is in English. Basic commands and instruction are used. Children understand what is being asked. For children to develop as confident speakers of te reo Māori, kaimahi and whānau need to build their confidence and capacity to deliver an entire learning programme in te reo Māori.
The whānau are currently learning about their roles and responsibilities and what is required to manage the operations of their kōhanga reo. The kaiwhakahaere and Kaiako are both new. They are aware that they have a lot of work ahead of them. There are several outstanding issues that require attention to strengthen self -review. Whānau acknowledge the following need to be addressed;
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 following areas of non-compliance have been identified and must be addressed:
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Kauriki will be within one year.
