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.
Ko Pūtauaki te mauna
Ko Tarawera te awa
Ko Mātaatua te waka
Ko Rautahi te marae
Ko Tūmanako te kōhana reo
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako ki Kawerau. He tautōhito ngā kaumātua, ā, neke atu i te 30 tau rātou e whai wāhi nui ana ki te kōhanga reo, hei hāpai, hei whakapūmau hoki i te reo Māori me ngā tikanga Māori mō te whānau.
Kei te tupu te ngākau titikaha o ngā mokopuna i roto i tā rātou whakamahi i te reo Māori.
Ko tētahi kaupapa matua ki te kōhanga reo, ko te wawata o te whānau kia ngākau titikaha ngā mokopuna ki te kōrero i te reo Māori. Ka waihangatia e ngā kaiako te papai o te taiao reo, ā, ka kaha kōrerohia te reo o Tūhoe, puta noa i te rā. Kua roa nei te kuia e whai wāhi atu ana ki te kōhanga reo, ā, ka whakatauira ia i te kounga o te reo Māori mā ngā rautaki pērā i te whakatakoto kīanga kōrero, i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero, me te patapatai. He tino mātau ngā kaimahi katoa ki te reo Māori. Ka toro atu rātou ki te tangongitanga o ngā rautaki ki te whakatupu i te māramatanga o ngā mokopuna ki te reo Māori, pērā i te whāngai kupu, te tohutohu, te tono, me te pakirehua. E whanake ana ngā mokopuna hei kaikōrero ngākau titikaha o te reo Māori.
Ko tā te wāhanga ōkawa o te hōtaka, he whakarato i ngā wheako mō ngā mokopuna ki te rongo me te whakamātau i ngā hanganga reo, mā ngā karakia, ngā pao, ngā mihimihi, me te tautuhi i ngā pou whenua whakahirahira o te rohe. Kei te harikoa ngā mokopuna ki te whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro mā te kōrerorero, mā te āhua hoki o ō rātou kanohi. Ka whai wāhi atu rātou ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero, ā, ka taea e rātou ngā pātai māmā te whakautu mā te reo Māori. I ngā wā katoa, ka whakamihi ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna mō tā rātou whakapuaki i ā rātou whakautu. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te tangongitanga o ngā whai wāhitanga e whakahōhonu ana i tā rātou ako i te reo o Tūhoe.
Kua whakatakotohia ngā tukanga pakari e pā ana ki te whakamahere me te aromatawai. E whai kiko ana ngā mahere, ā, kua whakatakotohia ngā aratohu e āta ārahi ai i te whakatinanatanga o te hōtaka akoranga. Kua whakahāngaitia ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo, ā, e whakatakoto ana i ngā kaupapa whānui me ngā kaupapa whāiti. Kei ngā pūkete aromatawai a ngā mokopuna ngā mōhiohio whai hua e pā ana ki te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna. E whakatakoto ana ngā Mātai Mokopuna i te tirohanga whānui, me te āhua o te whanaketanga o ngā mokopuna mā ngā paearu. E tino whakamōhiotia ana ngā whānau ki te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna.
E whakawhanakehia ana ngā tukanga whakahaere a te whānau. Hui ai ngā whānau i ia te wā ki te whakawhiti kōrero mō ngā whakahaeretanga. E aru ana te mahere ā-tau i ngā wāhanga whakahaere matua, tae atu ki ngā whakangungu, ngā hui, ngā pūtea, me te arohaehae. He taiāwhio huringa arotake moroki mō ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. He pai te whakahaere i ngā mauhanga me ngā kōnae e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi. Kua whakatakotohia ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi me ngā kirimana a ia kaimahi. Ka āta tautuhi aua tuhinga i ngā tūranga, i ngā kawenga mahi, me ngā tūmanako. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā whakataunga katoa i whakatutukihia ai e te whānau.
Me whakapakari ake i te aromātai hōtaka. Ahakoa e hui ana ngā kaimahi i ia te wā, ā, ahakoa ka whakawhiti kōrero rātou mō te tangongitanga o ngā tūmomo take, he iti rawa te whakaaro huritao ki te whai huatanga pea o te hōtaka akoranga whānui ki te whakatutuki i ngā matea ako o ngā mokopuna. Kāhore e tuhia ana ngā whakapaitanga ki te hōtaka i ngā hui. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te pakari o te aromātai o roto e whakamōhio ana i te haere tonutanga o ngā whakapaitanga ki te hōtaka.
Me titiro wawe ki ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te whakamoe i ngā mokopuna. I te wā i toro atu Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki te kōhanga reo, i kitea ētahi mokopuna e moe ana ki ngā tūru teitei o ngā pēpi. Me mutu taua mahi i nāia tonu nei, ā, me whakamahi i ngā takotoranga moe e tika ana. He mea nui kia āta whakatau tonu te whānau i te aronga matua ki te waiora o ngā pēpi.
Kāhore anō kia whakatutukihia ngā arohaehae a ngā kaimahi. I tēnei wā, kotahi anake te kaimahi kua whai wāhi atu ki te tukanga arohaehae. He mea nui kia whakatutukihia e te whānau ngā arohaehae katoa, hei hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga o ngā kaimahi, hei āta whakatau hoki i te whakapā atu ki te whakawhanaketanga ngaio e tika ana, hei whakatairanga i te kounga o ngā mahi whakaako.
Ko te waiora o ngā kaimahi tētahi take āwangawanga. Kāhore i te rawaka ngā wā whakatā o ngā kaimahi i roto i te roanga o te rā mahi. Kua pupū ake taua tūāhuatanga, nā te hiahia kia mōrahi te tatauranga o ngā kaimahi e mātakitaki ana i ngā mokopuna puta noa i te rā. Engari, kei te rawaka te tatauranga o ngā kaimahi mō te whakaraupapa i ā rātou wā whakatā, me te ū tonu ki ngā tatauranga mātakitaki e tika ana ki waenga i ngā kaimahi me ngā mokopuna. He mea nui kia rapu wawe te whānau i tētahi rongoā mō ngā kaimahi, kia kore ai e pā tōraro ki ngā tikanga mō te whai wā whakatā ngā kaimahi, mō te mātakitaki hoki i ngā mokopuna.
Kāhore anō te mahere rautaki kia whakatutukihia. Kāhore i te whānau ngā whāinga me ngā wawata mārama mō te whakawhanaketanga o tō rātou kōhanga reo mō meāke nei, engari, kāhore he mahere mahi hei āta whakatau i te whakatinanatanga. He mea nui kia whakaoti i te whānau te mahere mahi, hei whakatīmata i te whakamahere mō meāke nei.
Kāhore i te tino mārama ki ngā kaimahi te wāhi nui ki te Children's Act 2014. Ahakoa kua whakatakotohia te kaupapa here e pā ana ki te tiaki mokopuna, kāore tonu ngā kaimahi e tino mārama ana ki ngā whakaritenga e whai pānga ana ki te kaupapa here. E whakatau ana te whānau, kua tae ki te wā kia toro atu ki ētahi atu whakangungu, hei āta whakatau i te noho mārama o ngā kaimahi ki ngā tukanga pūrongo i whakaraupapahia ai ki te ture.
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 āta mahi tahi te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te taha o te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te whakatutuki i ngā whakaritenga matua me ngā herenga ā-ture 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. ERO’s reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.
Ko Pūtauaki te mauna
Ko Tarawera te awa
Ko Mataatua te waka
Ko Rautahi te marae
Ko Tūmanako te kōhana reo
Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako is in Kawerau. Kaumatua with over 30 years of experience in kōhanga reo provide support to maintain te reo Māori and tikanga Māori for the whānau.
Mokopuna are gaining confidence in their use of te reo Māori.
Whānau aspirations of mokopuna becoming confident speakers of te reo Māori is a key priority for the kōhanga reo. Kaiako create a positive language environment where te reo o Tūhoe is spoken throughout the day. A kuia, who has a long history with the kōhanga reo, models quality te reo Māori through strategies such as phrasing, conversations, and questions. Kaimahi are all very competent speakers of the Māori language. They draw on a range of strategies such as prompts, instructions, requests, and inquiries to grow mokopuna understanding of te reo. Mokopuna are developing as confident speakers of te reo Māori.
The formal part of the programme provides mokopuna experiences to hear and practice language structures through karakia, pao, mihimihi and identifying significant landmarks in the area. Mokopuna happily communicate their thoughts both verbally, and through facial expressions. They participate in conversations and are able to answer simple questions in te reo Māori. Kaimahi consistently praise mokopuna for sharing their responses. Mokopuna benefit from a range of opportunities that enrich their learning of te reo o Tūhoe.
Sound planning and assessment processes are in place. Planning is detailed and provides clear guidelines for the implementation of the learning programme. It is aligned to Te Whāriki a te kōhanga reo and includes kaupapa whānui and kaupapa whāiti. Mokopuna assessment portfolios provides helpful information about mokopuna learning and progress. Mātai Mokopuna provide an overview of where mokopuna are against a set of criteria. Whānau are well informed of their mokopuna learning and progress.
Whānau whakahaere processes are developing. Whānau meet regularly to discuss operations. The annual plan tracks key operational areas including training, hui, finances, and appraisal. Health and safety policies and procedures are in a current cycle of review. Personnel records and files are suitably managed. Job descriptions and individual contracts are in place. These clearly identify roles, responsibilities, and expectations. Mokopuna are at the centre of all decisions made by whānau.
Programme evaluation requires strengthening. While kaimahi meet regularly and discuss a range of issues, there is very little reflection on how effective the overall learning programme is in meeting mokopuna learning needs. Any improvements to the programme are not recorded at these hui. Mokopuna benefit form robust internal evaluation that informs ongoing improvements to the programme.
Sleeping practices for mokopuna requires immediate attention. During their visit ERO observed mokopuna sleeping in highchairs. This practice must immediately cease, and the correct sleeping facilities utilised. It is important that whānau continue to ensure the wellbeing of the pēpi is paramount.
Kaimahi appraisals are incomplete. Currently, only one staff member has participated in the appraisal process. It is vital that whānau complete all appraisals to support the development of kaimahi and to ensure that appropriate professional development is accessed to enhance the quality of teaching practice.
Kaimahi wellbeing is of concern. Kaimahi do not take sufficient breaks over the period of the workday. This situation has occurred to ensure there is always maximum supervision of mokopuna throughout the day. However, there are sufficient kaimahi to ensure breaks away from mokopuna while maintaining supervision ratios. It is critical that whānau find an immediate solution for kaimahi to ensure that both breaks and mokopuna supervision are not compromised.
The strategic plan is incomplete. Whānau have clear goals and aspirations for the future development of their kōhanga reo however there is no action plan to ensure these are realised. It is important that whānau complete the action plan to begin future planning.
Kaimahi are unclear about the importance of the Children’s Act 2014. While the tiaki mokopuna protection policy is in place, kaimahi are still not clear about the practice that sits behind the policy. Whānau agree that it is time to seek more training to ensure that kaimahi are clear about reporting processes as outlined in the Act.
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, whānau must:
ERO recommends that whānau and kaimahi work closely with Te Tari-ā-Rohe to address the key next steps and non-compliance issues identified in this report.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako ki Kawerau. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kua whakapūmautia e te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā wheako ako o te kounga pai mā ngā tamariki, me ngā tino hononga. E whai wāhi nui ana tētahi kaumātua ki te hāpai i te poipoitanga o te reo Māori me ngā tikanga mō te whānau.
He pakari ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki mai i te whanaungatanga mā roto mai i ō rātou hononga me ā rātou taunekeneke ki ētahi atu.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao whakaongaonga o te reo Māori. Ka tū ngā kaimahi hei tino tauira o te reo Māori mō ngā tamariki. E whakamahi ana rātou i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki e hāpai ai i ngā tamariki ki te ako i ngā hanganga kōrero, i ngā pūtaketanga, ā, i ngā tauira reo hoki. Ka whai wāhi hoki ki aua rautaki ko ngā karakia, ngā pepeha, me ngā mōteatea. Kei te hōtaka akoranga o ia rā te tangongitanga o ngā taumahi e whakawhānui ana i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki. Ka whai ngā tamariki tuākana i ngā tohutohu, ā, he tika anō hoki tā rātou aro atu mā te reo Māori. Ka kitea te māramatanga o ngā pēpi ki ō rātou kanohi me ō rātou reo ā-tinana. E whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro ana ngā tamariki mā te reo Māori.
Kei te rongo ngā tamariki i ngā taunekeneke e whai pūtake ana. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i te āhua o te whakawhanaungatanga. Ka whakatairanga rātou i te aroha, te manaaki, me te rangimārie i tō rātou wāhi noho. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou manaaki, tō rātou whai whakaaro nui hoki ki ētahi atu. Ko ngā whai wāhitanga ki te ārahi e hāpai ana i ngā tamariki ki te uru atu ki ngā kaupapa ōkawa. Ka whakatangi ngā tamariki i te pere, ā, ka ārahi rātou i ngā karakia me ngā mōteatea. Whakanuia ai ngā whakamātau me ngā mahi angitu a ngā tamariki e ngā kaimahi i ia te wā. E arohaina ana ngā tamariki.
E ako ana ngā tamariki i ō rātou tuakiri ki tētahi taiao e poipoi ana i a rātou. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te tāruarua, te taki, me te whakahuahua i ō rātou whakapapa. E whanake ana te māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki a rātou anō, ā, ki ō rātou tātai hono anō hoki. E hāpai ana ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā pōhiri, me te āta mātakitaki i ngā kaumātua. Ka ako rātou i ngā tikanga, ngā kawa, me tō rātou tū hoki hei tangata whenua. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou tino aronga toi whenuatanga.
E ākina ana te tūhura o ngā tamariki i ō rātou taiao ako. He muramura te wāhi ako, ā, he nui hoki ngā rauemi. E wātea ana ngā tamariki ki te mahi ngātahi, te mahi takirōpū iti rānei, te mahi takitahi rānei. E whakaatuhia ana ngā mahi auaha a ngā tamariki ki tō rātou whare. Ka ako ngā tamariki i ngā ao o ngā atua Māori me ō rātou whai pānga nui hoki ki te taiao. Ka toro atu ngā akoranga ki tua atu i te kōhanga reo. Ka whakariterite ngā kaimahi me te whānau i ngā haerenga ki ngā wāhi whakahirahira, hei āta poipoi i te whai hononga ki te taiao māoriori. Kei te tūmāia, kei te pākiki hoki ngā tamariki hei ākonga.
Ko te whakawhanaketanga me te atawhai o ngā tamariki e noho matua ana. Ka whakawhanake ngātahitia ngā mahere o te hōtaka. Ka whakawhanakehia ngā taumahi hei whakarato i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo wheako ako ki ngā tamariki. Ka kitea ki ngā mōhiohio aromatawai a ngā kaimahi, ko ngā akoranga me te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki. Whakaaro huritao ai rātou mō te hōtaka akoranga i ia te wā, ā, he mātātoa tā rātou whai i ngā huarahi e whakapai ai i ngā whai wāhitanga ako. E whai hua ana ngā tamariki nā te hāngai pū o ngā aronga ki ngā mahere me te whakapuakitanga kaupapa.
He pai ngā mahi a te whānau ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. Kei te tūtohinga ngā aratohu mārama e pā ana ki ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga mahi. Kua whakawhanakehia e rātou ngā tukanga mō te aroturuki me te pūrongo i ngā āhuatanga matua o ngā whakahaeretanga. Kua whakatakotohia ngā pūnaha e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi. E hāpai ana ngā arohaehae i te āhua o ngā akoranga ngaio me ngā whakawhanaketanga ngaio e whakaratohia ana mā ngā kaimahi. E hāngai ana ngā kaupapa here o te hauora me te haumaru ki ngā herenga ā-ture o tēnei wā. Ko ngā tamariki kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Ahakoa kei te noho mārama te whānau ki tā rātou ahunga rautaki, kāhore he mahere mahi hei āta whakapūmau i te whakatutukitanga o ngā whāinga me ngā tūmanako. Kāhore anō te whānau kia tāutu i ngā tāngata ka kawe atu i ngā mahi rautaki matua, i ngā wātaka rānei, ā, i ngā rauemi rānei e tika ana ki te whakatutuki i ā rātou whāinga rautaki. Ko te whai huatanga o ngā mahi whakahaere pae tawhiti o te kōhanga reo, e hāpai anō hoki i ngā tino painga ki 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 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 Tūmanako i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako is in Kawerau. Since the previous ERO review, the whānau of the kōhanga reo have sustained good quality learning experiences for children and strong relationships. A kaumatua provides valued support in maintaining te reo Māori and tikanga for the whānau.
Children confidently demonstrate whanaungatanga through their relationships and interactions with others.
Children learn in a stimulating te reo Māori environment. Kaimahi are strong te reo Māori language models for children. They use a range of strategies to support children as they learn structure, purpose and language patterns. These strategies include karakia, pepehā and mōteatea. The daily learning programme includes a variety of activities to extend children’s language development. Older children follow instructions and respond appropriately in te reo Māori. Babies use facial expressions and body language to show understanding. Children communicate in te reo Māori.
Children experience meaningful interactions. Kaimahi model positive relationships. They promote aroha, manaaki, and rangimārie in the environment. Children demonstrate care and respect to those around them. Leadership opportunities encourage children to participate in formal practices. Children ring the bell and they lead karakia and mōteatea. Kaimahi consistently praise children’s efforts and successes. Children are loved.
Children learn about their identity in a nurturing environment. Kaimahi provide opportunities for children to repeat, recite and share whakapapa. Children are developing an understanding of who they are and how they connect to others. Kaimahi support children to participate and observe kaumātua during pōhiri. They learn tikanga, kawa and their role as tangata whenua. Children demonstrate a strong sense of belonging.
Children are encouraged to explore their learning environments. The physical learning space is colourful and well resourced. Children can work together, in small groups or independently. Children’s creations are displayed in their whare. Children learn about the domains of atua Māori and the impact they have on nature. Learning extends beyond the kōhanga reo. Kaimahi and whānau arrange visits to places of significance to foster connections to the natural environment. Children are confident and curious learners.
Children’s development and care is a priority. Programme planning is developed collaboratively. Activities are developed to provide children with a range of learning experiences. Kaimahi assessment information shows children’s learning and progress. They regularly reflect on the learning programme and actively seek ways to improve on learning opportunities. Children benefit from focused approaches to planning and delivery.
Whānau manage the kōhanga reo well. The charter provides clear guidelines for their roles and responsibilities. They have developed processes for monitoring and reporting on key aspects of operations. Personnel management systems are in place. Appraisals lead to the provision of professional learning and development for kaimahi. Health and safety policies align to current legislation. Children are at the centre of whānau management.
While whānau are clear about their strategic direction, there is no action plan to ensure the goals and objectives are achieved. The whānau have not identified who will be responsible for key strategic tasks, what the timeframes are, and what resources are needed to meet their strategic goals. Efficient long term management of the kōhanga reo contributes to positive outcomes for children.
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 Tūmanako will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako ki Kawerau. E noho pūmau ana te whānau ki ō rātou whakaaro e pā ana ki te reo Māori. I hiahia rātou ki te mōhio ki te whakawhanaketanga o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori. Ko tā Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga titiro, kei te tika ake, kei te pakari ake te whakamahinga a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori, puta noa i ngā āhuatanga katoa o ā rātou mahi.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako i roto i te toru o ngā tau.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako ki Kawerau. He kōhanga reo tēnei mō ngā hau e whā, ā, e whakaaro nui ana hoki ki te mana whenua. Mai i te whakatūnga o te kōhanga reo, ko te reo o Tūhoe tōna reo matua. Ko te whāinga o te hōtaka akoranga, kia ū ngā taonga tuku iho me te reo Māori mō ngā tamariki me ngā whānau.
Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki, kua tika ake, kua māia ake hoki tā rātou whakamahinga i te reo Māori.
He pai te taunekeneke a ngā tamariki ki ētahi atu. Ka whai pānga matua ngā uaratanga o te manaaki me te aroha ki te hōtaka akoranga. He pai te aro nui o ngā kaimahi ki ngā matea me te atawhai o ia tamaiti. Ka ākina te whakaute o ngā tamariki ki ō rātou hoa me ngā pākeke. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te mahi ngātahi hei tuakana, hei teina, ā, ki te taunekeneke hoki ki ngā pākeke. Ka tuitui ngā kaimahi i ngā atua Māori ki te hōtaka akoranga, hei whakawhanake i te māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki tō rātou tūnga, ō rātou hononga hoki ki te ao māoriori. Ka whakamanahia e ngā kaimahi ngā mōhiotanga me ngā māramatanga o ngā tamariki. Ka whakaaro nui ngā tamariki ki ētahi atu, ki te taiao māoriori hoki.
He māia ake ngā tamariki ki te whakamahi i te reo Māori. Ka poipoi ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki te tūhura i te reo ki tētahi taiao e hāpai ana i a rātou. Ka āta mahi takitahi rātou ki te taha o ētahi tamariki, hei whakapuaki i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero e pā ana ki ā rātou taumahi, ā, ka patapatai hei whakawhanake i ā rātou akoranga me te whakawhānui ake hoki i tō rātou reo Māori. He mārie, he pono, he whakaaro nui hoki tō te whakatauira a ngā kaimahi i te ako reo ki ngā tamariki, hei hāpai i tō rātou whakawhanaketanga. Nā ngā taumahi mā te whānau, ka rongo rātou i ngā tamariki e whakapuaki ana i ā rātou akoranga mā te reo Māori. Ka ākina te whai wāhi a ngā pēpi ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero ki te taha o ngā kaimahi, mā te whakapuaki i te kupu me te reo ā-tinana hei whakaatu i tō rātou māramatanga. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki te ako i te reo Māori.
E whakawhanake ana te aronga toi whenuatanga o ngā tamariki. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te ako i tō rātou tuakiri me tō rātou aronga toi whenuatanga. Ka hāpai rātou i ngā tamariki ki te ako i tō rātou waka, tō rātou awa, tō rātou maunga, me tō rātou marae. E ākina ana te taki a ngā tamariki i ngā karakia, ngā mōteatea, me ngā waiata. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i ngā wheako e poipoi ana i te māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki tō rātou tū hei tangata whenua. Ka whakatinana ngā tamariki i ā rātou akoranga o te tikanga me te kawa, i a rātou e whai wāhi atu ana ki ngā whakatau. Ka whakapūmau ngā kaimahi i ngā tūmanako o te whanonga pai ki ngā tamariki, ā, ka akiaki anō hoki i ngā nekeneke ngāwari, mārie hoki ki te kōhanga reo. Ka ako ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e poipoi ana i a rātou.
Ka ārahi te ako a ngā tamariki i ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau. Ka whai pānga te ārahitanga a te whānau ki te whakatau ngātahi i ngā whakaritenga. Ka arotahi rātou ki te whakarato i te mātauranga e ahu mai ana i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo me te noho haumaru. He pai te taetae atu ki ngā hui ā-whānau. Nā te arotake whaiaro, ka whakahou ake te whānau i ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te hauora, te haumaru, me te whakahaeretanga a ngā kaimahi. Kua whakaritea, kua waitohungia hoki ngā whakaritenga me ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki te arowhai a ngā pirihimana, ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi, me te arohaehae. He mahere rautaki tā te whānau hei tāutu i ngā kaupapa matua o te pae tawhiti, ā, ka tohu tēnei i tā rātou whakariterite mō te rōnakitanga o te kōhanga reo. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā ngā whakaritenga e whai pānga ana ki te whakapai ake i ngā whakahaeretanga me ngā whakaritenga.
Kua whakaritea ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te whakamahere me te aromatawai. Kei ngā mahere a ngā kaimahi tētahi tirohanga ā-tau, me te aronga o ia wāhanga. Ka tāutu rātou i ngā rauemi ka hāpai i te whakapuakitanga o ngā hōtaka akoranga. Ka whai pānga matua te aromatawai ki ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi. Ka whakaemi rātou i ngā mōhiohio mā te mātakitaki me te tuhi i ngā kōrerorero e pā ana ki ngā tamariki. Ko te aronga matua o te aromatawai, ko tēnā e mōhiotia ana e ngā tamariki, me tēnā e ākona ana. Nā te aromatawai me ngā mahere, he pai te whakamōhio a ngā kaimahi i ngā whānau mō te āhua o te ako a ā rātou tamariki, me tā rātou ahu whakamua. Ka noho matua te ako a ngā tamariki.
Kāhore i te whānau tētahi mahere ā-tau hei hāpai i te haere tonutanga o ngā pūrongo me ngā whāinga. E ākina ana te whānau, kia whakawhanake rātou i tētahi mahere ā-tau hei aroturuki i te ahu whakamua ki te whakatutuki i ā rātou kaupapa matua.
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 Tūmanako ki Kawerau. E noho pūmau ana te whānau ki ō rātou whakaaro e pā ana ki te reo Māori. I hiahia rātou ki te mōhio ki te whakawhanaketanga o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori. Ko tā Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga titiro, kei te tika ake, kei te pakari ake te whakamahinga a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori, puta noa i ngā āhuatanga katoa o ā rātou mahi.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako is in Kawerau. The whānau are strong in their beliefs about te reo Māori. They were keen to know how well children are developing to speak te reo Māori. ERO’s observations are that children use te reo Māori with increased accuracy and confidence across all aspects of their work.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako will be in three years.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako is in Kawerau. The kōhanga reo caters for ngā hau e whā and acknowledges the mana whenua. Since the kōhanga reo was established, te reo o Tūhoe has been the language of the kōhanga reo. The aim of the learning programme is to maintain Māori traditions and language for children and whānau.
Children show they are using te reo Māori with more accuracy and confidence.
Children interact positively with others. Values of manaaki and aroha are an integral part of the learning programme. Kaimahi respond positively to the needs and care of each child. Children are encouraged to be respectful of their peers and adults. There are opportunities for children to work co-operatively as tuakana and teina, and interact with adults. Kaimahi integrate ngā atua Māori into the learning programme to develop children’s understanding about their place and relationships in the natural world. Kaimahi are affirming of what children know and understand. Children respect others and the natural world.
Children are using te reo Māori more confidently. Kaimahi allow children to explore language in a supportive environment. They deliberately work with individuals to engage them in conversations about their activity, and ask questions to develop their learning and extend their te reo Māori. Kaimahi model language learning in a calm, sincere and respectful manner for children to support their development. Activities for whānau enable them to hear children sharing their learning in te reo Māori. Babies are encouraged to participate in conversations with kaimahi using one word answers and body language to express their understanding. Children enjoy learning te reo Māori.
Children are developing a sense of belonging. Kaimahi provide children with opportunities to learn about their identity and belonging. They support children to learn about their waka, awa, maunga and marae. Children are encouraged to lead karakia, mōteatea and waiata. Kaimahi provide experiences to foster children’s understanding about their role as tangata whenua. Children apply their learning of tikanga and kawa when they participate in whakatau. Kaimahi reinforce expectations about positive behaviour for children and encourage quiet movements in the kōhanga reo. Children learn in a nurturing environment.
Children’s learning guides whānau management practices. Whānau leadership contributes to collective decision making. They focus on providing children with an education based on the kaupapa of kōhanga reo and safety. Whānau hui are well attended. Internal review enable whānau to update policies and procedures related to health and safety and personnel management. Practices and documentation for police vetting, job descriptions and appraisal are signed and in place. The whānau has a strategic plan identifying long term priorities and indicating that they are planning for the future of the kōhanga reo. Children benefit from practices that are based on improvements in operations and practice.
Planning and assessment processes are in place. Kaimahi planning practices include a year overview and the term focus. They identify resources to support the delivery of learning programmes. Assessment is an integral part of kaimahi practices. They gather information using observations and anecdotal notes about children. The emphasis of assessment is about what children know and what they are learning. Assessment and planning enable kaimahi to keep whānau informed of their children’s learning and progress. Children’s learning is important.
Whānau do not have an annual plan to support ongoing reporting and goals. The whānau are encouraged to develop an annual plan to monitor progress towards achieving their priorities.
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:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako is in Kawerau. The whānau are strong in their beliefs about te reo Māori. They were keen to know how well children are developing to speak te reo Māori. ERO’s observations are that children use te reo Māori with increased accuracy and confidence across all aspects of their work.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Tūmanako will be in three years.
