Kua whakatōngia ngā tikanga me ngā kawa ki ngā mahinga o ia rā, ā, ka whai wāhi mātātoa ngā mokopuna ki ngā karakia, ngā hīmene, me ngā whakatau manuhiri. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna ki te mihimihi māhorahora i ētahi atu, heoi, he tūāhuatanga tēnei e whakamana ana i te tuakiri o ngā mokopuna. Kei te tākare ngā mokopuna, ā, ka whakapuaki māhorahora rātou mā ngā whakaaro pohewa, mā ngā oro, me te korikori tinana. Kua āta whakatōngia te mita o te iwi, ā, ka tū ngā kaimahi hei tino tauira o te reo mō ngā mokopuna. Ka āta whakamahi rātou i ngā pātai, i te whāngai kupu, i te tāruarua, me te tohutohu hei whakatairanga i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā mokopuna.

Ka tūhonohono ngā mokopuna ki a rātou anō i roto i ngā akoranga e whakatairanga ana i tō rātou tuakiritanga.
He matawhānui ngā mahere hōtaka me ngā aromatawai mokopuna, ā, nā te kōhanga reo i tuhi. E whai kiko ana ngā pukapuka mahere, ā, ka tautuhi i ngā tino ariā me ngā rautaki ako e whai pānga ana, hei hāpai i te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna. Ka hāngai ngā mahere katoa a ngā kaimahi ki Te Whare Tapawhā me Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira. Kua whakatakotohia ngā tukanga aromatawai. Ka hono pū ngā pūkete a ia mokopuna ki ngā taumahi i whakamaheretia ai, ā, ka whakanui i ngā whakatutukitanga me ngā pūmanawa o ngā mokopuna. Ka āta waihangatia ngā paki ako a ngā mokopuna, ā, ka miramira i te tupu me te whakawhanaketanga i roto i te roanga o te wā. Ko te tuakiri o ngā mokopuna, ko tō rātou aronga toi whenuatanga hoki, e whakatairangatia ki ngā mahi whakamahere me ngā mahi aromatawai i āta whakahāngaitia ai.
E pou here ana te whanaungatanga i ngā whakahaeretanga ki te kōhanga reo i ia rā. He kōhanga reo noho marae tēnei, ā, nā tēnā, e rumakina ana ngā mokopuna ki te reo me ngā tikanga Māori e tūhono ana i a rātou ki ō rātou whakapapa me ngā kaupapa o te marae. Hei tūāhuatanga o tā rātou whakaū ki te marae, ka tae atu te whānau ki ngā hui o te marae i ia marama, ki te whakapūmau i ō rātou hononga ki tō rātou pā. Ko ngā mahere rautaki i whakamōhiotia ai ki Te Ara Tūāpae, e whakatutuki ana i ngā wawata o te whānau, i ngā kaupapa matua o te pae tawhiti, me te toitūtanga o te kōhanga reo. Kua whakaritea ētahi tino mahi, ngā rārangi wā, me ngā kawenga, hei whakatutuki i ngā whāinga o te pae tawhiti. I ngā hui ā-whānau, ka ahu mai ngā whakataunga katoa i ngā mōhiohio ki ngā pūrongo e pā ana ki ngā whakahaeretanga katoa o te kōhanga reo. Ka āta ārahi te mahere ā-tau i ngā mahi whakahaere i te tari. Nō nā noa nei te whānau i toro atu ai ki ngā kaupapa here a te rohe o Aotea, hei āta whakatau i tā rātou hāngaitanga ki ngā herenga ā-ture o te wā, tae atu ki ngā tikanga e pā ana ki te Children's Act 2014. Ka whakapūmautia ngā tukanga hei āta whakatau i te haumaru tonutanga me te waiora o ngā mokopuna, pērā i ngā tukanga e pā ana ki ngā rēhita o te hauora me te haumaru, ki te arowhai i ngā tūāhuatanga whakamōrearea, ki ngā akoako ina he ahi, me ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki ngā haerenga. Kua whakatakotohia ngā pūnaha whakahaere kaimahi, ā, ka hāngai ngā arohaehae kaimahi ki te wā, ka tautuhi hoki i ngā whāinga i roto i te whakawhanaketanga ngaio. E whai hua ana ngā mokopuna nā ngā tukanga whakahaere ngātahi a te whānau.
Ko te aromātai hōtaka tētahi wāhanga tonu hei whakawhanake ake. Ahakoa ka whakaaro huritao ia kaimahi mō tā rātou hōtaka akoranga, e tika ana hoki kia kōrero ngātahi, kia tuhi ngātahi hoki i ngā whakapaitanga ki te hōtaka. I tēnei wā, kāhore he tuhinga e tohu ana i ngā whakapaitanga kua whakatutukihia ki te hōtaka akoranga, i ngā kawekawe rānei o aua whakapaitanga. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna mā te whakaōkawa i te aromātai hōtaka.
Ka taea te whakapakari ake ngā akoako e pā ana ki te rū whenua. Ka whakarite ngā kaimahi mō ngā akoako e pā ana ki te rū whenua, engari me titiro ki te whakatinanatanga o aua akoako. Me whakatau te whānau i te whakatutukitanga me te tuhi haere o ngā akoako rū whenua i ia toru marama, pūputu ake noa rānei. He mea nui hoki kia aromātai rātou i tēnā i whai hua ai, me ngā wāhanga hoki hei whakapai ake. Kei te whakamōrearea pea i te haumaru o ngā mokopuna ina ka pupū ake te wā ohotata o te rū whenua.
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 mahi tonu te whānau ki te taha o te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te whakatutuki 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. ERO’s reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.
Te Māhuri o te Puna Mahara, nau mai e taku taonga ki te awatea hei āhuru mōwai mo ngā tamariki mokopuna.
Te Kohanga Reo o Te Wai o Turi is located in lower Kaharoa, Patea. The name originates from the site of the puna Te Wai o Turi and its location is where the marae and kōhanga reo stand today.
Mokopuna are developing confidence to express who they are and where they belong.
Mokopuna learn in a nurturing environment that fosters their identity and belonging. The learning programme places a strong emphasis on whanaungatanga, whakapapa and the unique dialect of the iwi. Kaimahi regularly praise, affirm and acknowledge mokopuna efforts. They are loving and affectionate and promote the values of manaakitanga and mahi tahi. Tuākana are caring and considerate towards tēina. Kaimahi encourage tuākana to lead components of the programme including sharing their connections to their maunga, awa and significant people. Tikanga and kawa is embedded into daily routines and mokopuna actively participate in karakia, hīmene and whakatau manuhiri. Kaimahi support mokopuna to mihimihi and greet others naturally, which affirms mokopuna identity. Mokopuna are enthusiastic and they express themselves freely through imagination, sound and movement. Te mita o te iwi is strongly embedded and kaimahi are positive language models for mokopuna. They are deliberate in their use of questions, prompts, repetition and instruction to enhance mokopuna language development. Tuākana confidently engage in conversations with others and pēpi observe and demonstrate their understanding through actions, body language and sounds. Mokopuna make connections to each other in learning that enhances their tuakiritanga.
Programme planning and mokopuna assessment are original and comprehensive. Planning books are detailed and identify specific themes and relevant learning strategies to support mokopuna progress. All kaimahi planning aligns to Te Whare Tapawhā and Ngā Taumata Whakahirahira. Assessment processes are in place. Mokopuna individual portfolios clearly connect to planned activities and celebrate mokopuna achievements and strengths. Mokopuna learning narratives are thoughtfully crafted and highlight growth and development overtime. Mokopuna identity and belonging is enhanced through focused planning and assessment practices.
Whanaungatanga underpins the daily operations of the kōhanga reo. As a marae based kōhanga reo, mokopuna are immersed in te reo and tikanga Māori that connects them to their whakapapa and kaupapa o te marae. As part of their commitment to the marae, whānau attend the monthly marae hui to maintain their connections with their pā. Strategic planning, informed by Te Ara Tūāpae, addresses whānau aspirations, long term priorities and the sustainability of the kōhanga reo. Specific actions, timeframes and responsibilities have been established to meet long term goals. At hui whānau, all decision making is informed based on reporting across kōhanga reo operations. The annual plan provides clear guidance for the administrative tasks. Whānau have recently adopted Aotea rohe policies to ensure they align with current legislation, including requirements of the Children’s Act 2014. Procedures including health and safety registers, hazard checks, fire drills and haerenga documentation are consistently maintained to ensure the ongoing safety and well-being of mokopuna. Personnel management systems are in place, with up-to-date kaimahi appraisals that identify professional development goals. Mokopuna benefit from collaborative whānau whakahaere processes.
Programme evaluation remains an area for development. While kaimahi individually reflect on their learning programme, there is a need to collectively discuss, and record improvements made to the programme. Currently, there are no records that show the improvements made to the learning programme and the effect of those improvements. Mokopuna benefit when programme evaluation is formalised.
The practicing of earthquake drills can be strengthened. Kaimahi plan for earthquake drills, however the implementation of these drills require attention. Whānau must ensure that earthquake drills are carried out and documented at least every three months. It is also important that they evaluate what went well and identify areas for improvement. Mokopuna safety is an earthquake emergency is potentially compromised.
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 that whānau continue to work alongside Tari-a-Rohe to address the key next steps identified in the report.

The Education Review Office, whānau, leaders and communities have collaborated to provide evaluation insights that foster improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability.
Te Māhuri o te Puna Mahara, nau mai e taku taonga ki te awatea hei āhuru mōwai mo ngā tamariki mokopuna.
Te Kohanga Reo o Te Wai o Turi is located in lower Kaharoa, Patea. It is situated within the marae o Te Wai o Turi. The name originates from the site of the puna “Te Wai o Turi” and its location is where the marae stands today.
Mokopuna show care and affection for one another.
Mokopuna learn in an environment where aroha and manaaki are highly valued. Kaimahi work in a calm and unrushed manner. The tone and way kaimahi talk with mokopuna is gentle and affectionate. Interactions between adults and mokopuna are nurturing and caring. Tuakana are encouraged to be considerate when interacting with their tēina. They role model appropriate behaviour when alongside the pēpi.
Kaimahi use many strategies to grow and nurture te reo Māori such as waiata and rotarota. Well established routines encourage leadership opportunities for mokopuna during karakia, himene and rārangi ingoa. Kaimahi provide activities based on kaupapa ako and resources that promote mokopuna to be creative in their learning. They consistently praise mokopuna for their successes and achievements. The learning environment is colourful, spacious, and well organised to meet the needs of the of the different age groups. Mokopuna appear happy, settled, and respectful in their interactions with others.
Planning and assessment is in place. The mahere ako includes year, term and weekly plans that provide information about kaupapa, resourcing and identified learning outcomes. Kaimahi use a range of assessment methods. Assessment reflects what mokopuna are learning and their progress. Mokopuna benefit from sound planning and assessment practices.
The whānau has a well organised and efficient systems in place to manage the operations of the kōhanga reo. Recording and reporting across the operations is consistent. Whānau hui minutes are informative and detailed. The tūtohinga provides guidance and includes the history of the kōhanga reo and is underpinned by the principals of Te Korowai. Core health and safety policies and procedures and personnel management systems are in place. Kaimahi appraisals are complete with an ongoing focus on improvement. The annual plan identifies key operational tasks and when these must be met. Mokopuna are at the heart of whānau whakahaere.
Mokopuna learning can be further enhanced through strengthening programme evaluation. Kaimahi hold regular hui. It’s time for kaimahi to take a planned approach to document and reflect on what the successes were, what didn’t work and what needs to happen in order to raise the quality of the learning programme. Mokopuna learning is enhanced by a systematic approach to programme evaluation.
Whānau have identified their goals and aspirations in their strategic plan, it’s important that the whānau develop an action plan to record and monitor progress in relation to aspirations. Mokopuna benefit when their future needs are monitored and considered.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
To meet compliance requirements, the whānau must:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Wai-o-Turi ki te marae o Wai-o-Turi, i te hapori o Kaharoa, i Pātea. Ko Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi te iwi. He hiahia tō te whānau ki te ako i tō rātou whakapapa, ā, kia ako anō hoki ā rātou tamariki i te reo Māori. I tēnei wā, e whakahoungia ana tō rātou wharenui hei poipoi tonu i te aronga o te whānau me ngā tamariki ā ngā tau kei te heke mai. Ka whai pānga matua te marae ki ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki.
Ka tūmāia ngā tamariki, ā, he pai tā rātou aro atu ki te reo Māori.
E whanake haere ana te tūmāia o ngā tamariki i roto i te reo Māori. Ka whakarato ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki pāhekoheko, whakaongaonga hoki, tae atu ki ngā karakia, ngā mihimihi, ngā hīmene, ngā waiata, ngā waiata ā-ringa, ngā haka, me ngā pepeha. Ka whakamahi rātou i te patapatai, te akiaki, me te tāruarua. Ka whakatauira, ka tohu ā-ringa hoki ngā kaimahi, hei hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki. I ngā wā katoa, e whakauru ana ngā kaiako i ngā tamariki tuākana ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero e whai pūtake ana ki a rātou. He tākare te aro atu a ngā tuākana ki ngā kaiako mā te reo Māori. He pai te whai wāhi atu a ngā pēpi ki ngā taumahi, ā, he tākare anō hoki rātou ki te whakamahi i ngā nekehanga ā-tinana hei whakaatu i tō rātou māramatanga. Ka aro nui ngā tamariki ki te reo Māori.

Me whakawhanake te whānau i tētahi mahere e tāutu ai i ngā tāngata ka whakatutuki i ngā mahi matua i ia tau, i te āhua anō hoki o aua mahi, ā, i ngā wā hoki e tika ana kia whakatutukihia.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Wai-o-Turi is located on Wai-o-Turi Marae in Lower Kaharoa, Patea. The iwi is Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi. Whānau want to learn about their whakapapa and they want their children to learn te reo Māori. Their wharenui is undergoing renovations to cater for the future needs of whānau and children. The marae plays a major role in children’s learning.
Children are confident and respond well to te reo Māori.
Children are developing confidence in te reo Māori. Kaimahi provide a range of interactive and stimulating strategies including karakia, mihimihi, hīmene, waiata, waiata-ā-ringa, haka and pepeha. They use questioning, prompting and repetition. Kaimahi model and use hand signs to support children’s language development. Kaiako constantly engage the older children in conversations that are meaningful to them. Tuākana eagerly respond to kaiako in te reo Māori. Pēpi participate well in activities and are eager to use non-verbal gestures that demonstrate their understanding. Children respond to te reo Māori.
Children have supportive and positive relationships. The majority of whānau have close whakapapa links. Kaimahi acknowledge children for their successes. Children experience humour and laughter throughout the day. Kaimahi and adults treat children with awhi, tautoko and aroha. Children are positive in their interactions with others.
Children enjoy learning about themselves. They are eager to learn. Children sing Te Pū, an action song about the creation, whakapapa and growing up with whānau. They recite pepeha which reinforces their whakapapa. They hear pātere and perform pao before kai. The marae is often a focal point for learning. Children are strong in their identity and belonging.
Children enjoy play. They have access to a range of resources both indoors and outside. Routines are well established. Kaimahi ensure that children have opportunities to initiate learning based on their interests. Kaimahi challenge children both physically and mentally to extend their skills, knowledge and confidence. Children are eager learners.
Planning is purposeful and well organised. Children enjoy a range of activities to extend their learning experiences. Term plans align to kaupapa ako and mahere ako. Weekly and daily plans align clearly to the term plan. Profiles are used to gather information about children’s learning and to monitor their progress. Kaimahi regularly reflect on the learning programme. These reflections are discussed and recorded. This leads to improvements in the learning programme. Children enjoy a learning programme that caters for their needs.
Whānau manage the kōhanga reo in the interests of children. The charter provides clear direction for children’s learning where tamariki are embedded with the values and principles of Te Wai-o-Turi. The expectation of whānau is that they will maintain te reo Māori and will ensure the uniqueness and rhythm of language throughout the kōhanga reo is maintained. Policy reviews are regular. Core health and safety policies and procedures are in place. The well-being of children at Te Wai-o-Turi is paramount.
Whānau show they are responsible employers. Personnel documentation is up to date. Job descriptions, employment contracts, police vetting and appraisals are in place. Appraisal outcomes lead to appropriate professional development. Children benefit when kaimahi are clear of their roles and responsibilities.
The whānau has a clear sense of their future direction. They know their goals and priorities. Internal evaluation is used well to inform improvements. There is regular reporting to whānau hui on all aspects of whānau operations. This reporting focuses on improvements. Changes are made according to needs and opportunities that arise. Whānau are aware of the need to ensure the management of the kōhanga reo is sustainable. Children are at the heart of decision making in kōhanga reo.
There is no annual plan in place. Whānau are unable to systematically monitor the achievement of priorities. Whānau need to develop a plan that identifies who, what and when in relation to key tasks undertaken each year. They should report on the progress and achievement of annual priorities at whānau hui.
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 identified areas of non-compliance. In order for the kōhanga reo whānau to meet compliance requirements they need to:
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau agreed that the whānau need to:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Wai-o-Turi will be in three years.
