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 Te Kapua o te Rangi ki te tāone tuawhenua o Pahīatua. Kua raihanatia mō ngā mokopuna 20, me te tokowaru o rātou kei raro i te rua tau te pakeke. E arotahi ana te whānau ki te whakapakari ake i ngā pūkenga reo Māori ki anamata.
E whanake ana te ngākau titikaha o ngā mokopuna ki te whakapuaki i a rātou anō mā te reo Māori.
Kua rumakina ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao ako e whakatairanga ana i te tū takitahi me te tupu i roto i te ao Māori. Ka whai wāhi atu rātou ki tētahi hōtaka e mau ana i te hōhonutanga o te reo Māori. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te tangongitanga o ngā rautaki ki te whakatō i te reo hou, pērā i te tāruarua, te whakatauira, me te whāngai kupu. Ka taea e ngā tuākana ngā kīanga māmā te whakamahi, ā, ka whakaatu ngā pēpi i tō rātou māramatanga mā te reo ā-tinana, te tāwhai, me te whakahuahua. Ka kitea te tākare o ngā mokopuna i a rātou e whakapuaki ana i ō rātou mōhiotanga ki ngā waiata, ngā karakia, me ngā pao. He manawa whakahī ō ngā tuākana ki te whakaatu i tō rātou māramatanga ki a rātou anō, ā, ki ngā āhuatanga tikanga anō hoki i a rātou e ārahi ana i ngā karakia, ngā mihimihi me ngā pepeha. E mōhio ana ngā mokopuna me pēhea te kawe tika i a rātou anō i roto i ngā kaupapa ōkawa, ā, ka whai wāhi atu hei kaitautoko i ngā whakatau manuhiri. He ngākau titikaha ō ngā mokopuna ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā akoranga ki te taha o ētahi atu, mā roto mai anō hoki i tō rātou taiao o te ao Māori.
Kei te hihiri te hōtaka akoranga, ā, ka toro atu ki ngā mokopuna, ka tautoko hoki i a rātou. Ka āta kitea te whanaungatanga, te aroha me te manaaki i ngā kaimahi e whakatauira ana i te ārahitanga me te tautoko mō ngā mokopuna. Ka poipoi ngā tuākana i ō rātou tēina, ā, ka whakaute, ka aroha, ka tino manaaki hoki. Ka poipoi ngā kaimahi i te kiritau o ngā mokopuna mā te whakamihi me te akiaki. Ka rongo ngā mokopuna i ngā hononga e manaaki ana, e whai pūtake ana hoki ki te taha o ētahi atu. Ko ngā mahinga i āta whakaritea ai, me te mārama hoki o ngā tūmanako e whakaahuru ana i te wāhi, ā, e hāpai ana i te ngākau titikaha o ngā mokopuna ki te whakawhiti haere. Kua whakaritea ngā wāhi me ngā rauemi mō ngā reanga tamariki hei hāpai i ngā matea ako o ngā mokopuna katoa. Kei te pākiki ngā mokopuna, ā, ka ako mā te tāruarua i a rātou e tākaro ana. Ka whakapuakihia ō rātou whakaaro pohewa, tō rātou auaha hoki ki ngā tākaro whakataruna me ngā kanikani. Kua waihangatia te papa tākaro kia hāngai ai ki ngā pūrākau, ngā hītori me ngā atua Māori e whai pānga nui ana, ā, ka tohu anō hoki i ngā tūāhuatanga o te ao Māori. E whanake ana ngā mokopuna i te ngākau titikaha ki te whakapuaki māhorahora i a rātou anō hei ākonga.
Kei te matawhānui ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te whakamahere, te aromatawai, me te aromātai hōtaka, ā, he mahi ngātahi anō hoki. Ka whakamōhiotia ngā kaupapa ako ki ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā mokopuna me ngā wawata o te whānau, ā, ka tautuhi hoki i ngā whāinga matua. Kei te mahere ako ngā mahere ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, o ia rā hoki e hāngai ana ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo, ā, kua whakaritea ngā tūmomo taumahi, tūmomo rauemi hoki hei whakatutuki i te whānuitanga o ngā reanga tau, ngā āheinga, me ngā matea o ngā mokopuna. Ko te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna, ko tō rātou whakawhanaketanga hoki, ka tuhia ki te kōnae a ia tamaiti. Whakapuakihia ai, kōrerohia ai ngā pūkete i ia te wā ki te whānau, mā ngā pūrongo ōpaki me ngā pūrongo ōkawa. E whakarāpopoto ana ngā Mātai Tamaiti i te ahu whakamua a te mokopuna i roto i te roanga o te wāhanga, ā, ka aru hoki i tāna ako i runga anō i te āhua o ngā kaupapa ako. Ka haere tonu te aromātai hōtaka i ia te wā mā ngā whakaritenga pērā i te whakaaro huritao ā-wiki me ngā hui kaimahi. Ka arotahi aua aromātai ki te whakapai tonutanga o te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna.
He mea nui ki ngā kaimahi te hauora me te haumaru o ngā mokopuna, ā, kua whakatutukihia e ētahi o ngā kaimahi ngā whakangungu e pā ana ki te ārai tamariki. E tūhura ana hoki rātou i ngā whai wāhitanga ki te ako ngaio me te whakawhanaketanga ngaio i te kōhanga reo, hei whakatairanga ake anō i tō rātou māramatanga ki taua kaupapa here. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā mokopuna ki tētahi hōtaka akoranga e hāngai pū ana ki tō rātou whakawhanaketanga me tā rātou ahu whakamua i roto i te reo Māori.
He pai te whai hononga, te whakaū, me te ngākau nuitanga o ngā whānau ki te ahunga whakamua o te kōhanga reo. Ka whai pānga matua te whakawhitinga whakaaro ki te whai wāhi a te whānau, ā, ka whakamahi rātou i te tangongitanga o ngā pae ā-ipurangi kia hono tonu ai rātou. Ko ngā hui auau he whai wāhitanga mō te whānau ki te hāpai i ngā tukanga whakataunga. He pai te taetae atu ki ngā hui ā-whānau, he hanganga, he mōhiohio hoki o roto, ā, e whakatakoto ana i ngā pūrongo mārama e pā ana ki ngā wāhanga whakahaere katoa. Ka ahu mai ngā kaupapa matua o te pae tawhiti i Te Ara Tūāpae, ā, ka arotahi ki te reo Māori, ki ngā tikanga, ki ngā hononga, me te whakaū i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Ka aru i ngā kaupapa matua o te pae tata mā te mahere whakahaere ā-tau, ā, kua whakahāngaitia hoki ki Te Korowai. Ka whakatakoto aua kaupapa matua i ngā rārangi wā, ngā kawenga mahi, ngā putanga, me te ahu whakamua.
Ka āta aroturukitia te hauora me te haumaru mā ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga o te wā e hāngai ana ki ngā herenga ā-ture. Ka whai wāhi ki ērā, ko ngā rēhita e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, ko te aromātai i ngā tūāhuatanga whakamōrearea i ngā haerenga, me ngā akoako hōneatanga ahi. E āta tautokona ana te whakahaere kaimahi e te whānau, ā, ka whakapūmau i ngā tuhinga tuku mahi katoa, tae atu ki ngā tuhinga arowhai haumaru. Kua tīmata noatia te whakatinana i ngā tukanga arohaehae kaimahi, ā, kua whakahāngaitia ki Te Korowai me Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo. Ka hāpai taua tukanga i te tautuhi a ngā kaimahi i ngā wāhanga hei whakapai ake, me te whakawhanaketanga ngaio e whai pānga ana ki ō rātou tūranga. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Me titiro wawe ki ngā akoako e pā ana ki te rū whenua, kia auau ai te whakamātau. Me āta whakatau te whānau kia whakahaerehia, kia tuhia hoki ngā akoako ohotata – tae atu ki ērā e pā ana ki te rū whenua – i ia toru marama, pūputu ake noa rānei, hei āta whakatau i te haumaru o ngā mokopuna i roto i ngā wā ohotata. Ko te haumaru o ngā mokopuna kei pā mai te rū whenua, tētahi tūāhuatanga hei āta whakamātau ake.
Me nahanaha te arowhai i ngā tūāhuatanga whakamōrearea. Ahakoa he tukanga mō te arowhai i te wāhi mō ngā tūāhuatanga whakamōrearea, me whakapakari ake hei āta whakatau i te tuhi haere o ngā arowhai whakamōrearea i ia rā. Me mātua whakatō te whānau me ngā kaimahi i ngā whakaritenga e whakapai ake i te aroturukitanga me te tuhi haere o ngā tūāhuatanga whakamōrearea. He tūāhuatanga kei pā tōraro pea ki te waiora me te haumaru o ngā mokopuna.
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 whakawhanake tonu, kia whakapakari tonu te whānau i ngā tukanga aromātai o roto – tae atu ki te arowhai i ia te wā i ngā tūāhuatanga whakamōrearea me te whakahaere i ngā akoako rū whenua – hei āta whakatau i te haumaru me te waiora o ngā mokopuna.

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 Te Kapua o te Rangi is in the rural township of Pahīatua. They are licensed for 20 mokopuna including up to eight under the age of two. Whānau are focused on building capability in te reo Māori for future.
Mokopuna are developing confidence to express themselves in te reo Māori.
Mokopuna are immersed in a learning environment that promotes independence and growth in te ao Māori. They engage in a programme that is rich in te reo Māori. Kaimahi use a variety of techniques to embed new language such as repetition, modelling and prompts. Tuākana can use simple phrases, while pēpi demonstrate their understanding through body language, mimicking and verbalisation. Mokopuna show enthusiasm as they share their knowledge of waiata, karakia and pao. Tuākana take pride in demonstrating their understanding of who they are and aspects of tikanga as they lead karakia, mihimihi and pepeha. Mokopuna know how to conduct themselves in formal settings and participate as kaitautoko during whakatau manuhuri. Mokopuna confidently engage in learning within their te ao Māori environment alongside others.
The learning programme is vibrant, engaging and supportive. Whanaungatanga, aroha and manaaki are strongly reflected as kaimahi model leadership and support for mokopuna. Tuākana are nurturing of their tēina and demonstrate respect, aroha and genuine care. Kaimahi foster mokopuna self-esteem through praise and encouragement. Mokopuna experience meaningful and caring relationships with others. Well-established routines and clear expectations provide a sense of security, allowing mokopuna to transition with confidence. Designated spaces and age-appropriate resources support all mokopuna learning needs. Mokopuna are inquisitive and learn through repetition as they engage in play. Their imagination and creativity are expressed through pretend play and kanikani. The outdoor papatākaro is designed to reflect significant pūrākau, history and atua Māori, incorporating elements and domains of te ao Māori. Mokopuna are developing confidence to express themselves freely as learners.
Planning, assessment and programme evaluation practices are thorough and collaborative. Kaupapa ako are informed by mokopuna interests and whānau aspirations and identify specific goals. The māhere ako includes annual, term and daily planning that aligns to Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo with activities and resources differentiated to meet the diverse ages, abilities and needs of mokopuna. Mokopuna learning, progress and development are documented in individual kōnae. Portfolios are regularly shared and communicated with whānau through informal and formal reporting. Mātai tamaiti summarises mokopuna progress over the term and tracks their learning in relation to kaupapa ako. Programme evaluation is ongoing, with practices including weekly reflections and kaimahi hui. These evaluations focus on improving mokopuna learning and progress.
Kaimahi recognise the importance of mokopuna health and safety. Some kaimahi have completed child protection training and are also exploring further opportunities for internal professional learning and development to further enhance their understanding of this policy. Mokopuna engage in a learning programme centred on their development and progress in te reo Māori.
Whānau are well connected, committed and passionate about the future direction of the kōhanga reo. Communication is central to whānau engagement. They use a variety of platforms to stay connected. Regular meetings provide opportunities for whānau to participate in decision-making processes. Whānau hui are well attended, structured and informative, offering clear reports across all operational areas. Long-term priorities are shaped by Te Ara Tuāpae which focuses on te reo Māori, tikanga, relationships and upholding te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Short term priorities are tracked through the annual management plan and aligns to Te Korowai. These priorities include timeframes, responsibilities, outcomes and progress.
Health and safety is closely monitored through up-to-date policies and procedures that align with legislation. These include regular health and safety registers, risk assessments for haerenga and fire drills. Personnel management is well supported by whānau, with all relevant employment documentation including safety checks maintained. Kaimahi appraisal processes are in the early stages of implementation, aligning to Te Korowai and Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo. This process enables kaimahi to identify areas for improvement and professional development relevant to their roles. Mokopuna are at the forefront of whānau whakahaere practices.
The regularity of earthquake drills needs attention. Whānau must ensure emergency drills, including earthquake are conducted and documented once a term, to assure mokopuna safety in an emergency. Mokopuna safety in an earthquake needs more practice.
A systematic approach to hazards checking is essential. Although there are processes for checking the premises for hazards this needs strengthening to ensure hazard checks are recorded daily. It is essential for whānau and kaimahi to embed practices that improve the monitoring and recording of hazards. Mokopuna wellbeing and safety may be 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 recommend that whānau continue to develop and strengthen internal evaluation processes including regular hazard checks and earthquake drills, to ensure safety and wellbeing of mokopuna.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kapua o Te Rangi ki te tāone tuawhenua o Pāhiatua. Whai muri i te arotake o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te tau 2015, kua whakatutukihia e te whānau ngā āhuatanga katoa e whai pānga ana ki ngā paearu raihana. He maha ngā whakarerekētanga ki ngā tūnga kaimahi. Nō te marama o Kohi-tātea o tēnei tau te kaiako i whakatūngia ai. E arotahi ana te whānau ki te whakapakari i ngā pūkenga reo Māori.
Kei te mātātoa, kei te tūmāia hoki ngā tamariki hei ākonga.
E poipoia ana ngā tamariki ki ngā taunekeneke papai. Ko te tokoiti noa o ngā tamariki e taetae atu ana ki te kōhanga reo e whakatairanga ana i te kaha o ngā hononga manaaki. Mō ngā tamariki tokomaha, kua tae kē atu ō rātou tuākana ki te kōhanga reo nei. Ahakoa he hou te rōpū whakaako, he kaha tonu tō rātou whakawhanaungatanga. Ka ako ngā tamariki ki te taunekeneke ki ētahi atu mā te kite atu i ngā taunekeneke a ngā kaiako me te whānau. Kei te tino mōhio ngā kaimahi ki ā rātou tamariki. Ka tohatoha ngā tuākana i ngā rauemi ki ngā tēina. Ka atawhaitia e rātou ngā tamariki tēina. Ka mātakitaki, ka ako hoki ngā tēina i ō rātou tuākana. Ka kitea te whai whakaaro nui o ngā tamariki ki ō rātou hoa.
E mōhio ana ngā tamariki ki ngā mahinga. Ka whakawhanake ngā kaimahi i ngā mahinga hei hāpai i ngā pūkenga o ngā tamariki ki te tiaki i a rātou anō. He whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki tuākana ki te ārahi me te whakapuaki i ā rātou akoranga. He ngāwari te whakawhitiwhiti haere a ngā tamariki tēina i te kōhanga reo. Ka whanake haere te māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki te kaitiakitanga. Ka whakapuakihia e ngā kaimahi ngā akoranga e hāpai ana i te tiaki taiao. Ka mahi hangarua ngā tamariki i ngā tū otaota, ā, ka whakapai haere i te wāhi tākaro. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā mema o te hapori ki te kōhanga reo mā te whakatō i ngā rākau hua ki te uru huarākau. Ka kitea ngā ngākau titikaha ō ngā tamariki ki tō rātou kōhanga reo.
E whai wāhi atu ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao ako whakahihiri. Kua waihangatia e te whānau te wāhi tākaro o waho kia whai pānga ai ki te ao Māori. E hono atu ana ia wāhanga o te wāhi tākaro o waho ki tētahi atua. Ka toro atu ngā tamariki ki a Tangaroa mā te wāhi tākaro wai, ki a Haumia-tiketike mā te māra kai, ā, ki a Tāwhirimātea mā te wāhi tākaro. E whanake ana te noho mōhio o ngā tamariki ki ngā atua Māori. He whānui hoki ngā tūmomo rauemi o roto e whakaongaonga ana i ngā tamariki. Ko ētahi o aua rauemi, ko te parāoa pokepoke, ko te tēpu taiao, ko te mahi whakaari, ko ngā pukapuka, ā, ko ngā taonga puoro. Ka kitea te ngākau nui o ngā tamariki i a rātou e tākaro ana, ā, e tūhura haere ana hoki.
Kua tāutuhia e te whānau ko te reo Māori te aronga matua. Kua whakawhanakehia e rātou ngā whāinga e hāpai ai i te whakawhanaketanga o te reo Māori mō ngā kaimahi me ngā tamariki. He tino kaha te kuia ki te tautoko me te ārahi. Me hāpai i ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
E ārahi ana ngā mahere i te hōtaka akoranga. Ko ngā ngākau nuitanga me ngā matea o ngā mokopuna, me ngā wawata hoki o te whānau e whai wāhi matua ana ki ngā mahere. Ka whakatakoto haere ngā kaimahi i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki, tae atu ki ngā kōrerorero me ngā whakaahua. E arotahi ana ngā aromātai ki tēnā i whai hua ai ki ngā tamariki. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki ā rātou taumahi o ia rā.
E ū ana te whānau whakahaere. He nui ngā whakarerekētanga ki te whakahaeretanga a te whānau. Nō nā noa nei tonu ētahi o ngā tūnga matua i whakakīia ai. Ko ētahi o aua tūranga, ko ērā o te kaitiaki pūtea, te kaiwhakahaere tari, te heamana, me ētahi kaiako hou. Kua tīmata te whakamahere rautaki me te arotake. Kua whai wāhi atu te whānau ki te arotakenga o te aronga rautaki. He pūnaha tā te kaiwhakahaere hei hāpai i te whakatutukitanga o ngā whakaritenga. He aronga matua ki ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, tae atu hoki ki ā rātou mahi akuaku. Tū ai ngā hui ā-whānau i ia te wā. Ka whiwhi rātou i ngā pūrongo e whai wāhi atu ana ki te hāpai i ā rātou whakataunga. Ko ngā tamariki kei te pūtake o ngā mahi.
Ahakoa kua whakatakotohia ngā pūnaha e pā ana ki te aromatawai me te whakamahere, e mōhio ana ngā kaimahi e tika ana kia whakapakarihia ā rātou tukanga. Kua tae ki te wā kia tūhura ngā kaimahi i ngā tukanga aromatawai, tukanga whakamahere hoki e hono atu ai ki te ao Māori. Kāhore anō ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki kia whakahono atu ki te ao Māori.
Kāhore ngā akoako hōneatanga e tuhia ana. Kua whakahonohono kē ngā kaimahi i ngā akoako hōneatanga ahi me ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Engari, kāhore anō rātou kia tuhi i aua akoako hōneatanga. Me tahuri wawe ngā kaimahi ki te whakamahere, te whakatutuki, me te tuhi haere hoki i ngā akoako hōneatanga katoa e tika ana. Ka whakamōrearea pea tēnei i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki.
I te wā o te aromātai, i whakamātauhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha o te kōhanga reo ki te whakahaere i ngā āhuatanga i raro iho nei e whai pānga nui ana ki te waiora o ngā tamariki:
Ko te tikanga, ka whakatairanga ngā kōhanga reo katoa i te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki, me te arotake anō hoki i ia te wā i tā rātou whakatutukitanga i ngā herenga ā-ture.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kapua o Te Rangi is in the rural township of Pahiatua. Following ERO’s last review in 2015, the whānau has addressed all outstanding licensing criteria. There have been many changes in staffing. The kaiako was appointed in January this year. Whānau are focused on building capability in te reo Māori.
Children are active confident learners.
Children experience positive interactions. While there are only a small number of children attending, this supports caring relationships. Many children have had older siblings attend the kōhanga reo. Whilst the teaching team is new, they have a close relationship. Children learn to interact with others by watching kaiako and whānau interactions. Kaimahi know their children well. Tuakana share resources with teina. They show care to younger children. Teina watch and learn from their tuakana. Children show consideration to each other.
Children know the routines. Kaimahi develop routines to support children’s self-care skills. Older children have opportunities to lead and share their learning. Younger children move around the kōhanga reo with ease. Children develop an understanding of kaitiakitanga. Kaimahi include learning that supports care of the environment. Children recycle waste and tidy up the play area. Community members contribute to the kōhanga reo by planting fruit trees in the orchard. Children show confidence at their kōhanga reo.
Children engage in an interesting learning environment. Whānau have purposely designed the outdoor play area to reflect the Māori world. Each domain in the outdoor area is linked to an atua. Children explore with Tangaroa in the water play area, Haumia-tiketike in the maara kai and Tāwhirimātea in the play area. Children are developing an awareness of atua Māori. Indoors, children are stimulated by a range of resources. These include playdough, nature table, role play, books and musical instruments. Children show enjoyment in their play and exploration.
Whānau have identified te reo Māori as a priority. They have developed goals to support the development of te reo Māori for kaimahi and children. The kuia provides invaluable support and guidance. Children need support to speak te reo Māori.
Planning guides the learning programme. The interests and needs of mokopuna and aspirations of whānau are central to the planning. Kaimahi maintain records of children’s learning which include comments and photos. Evaluation is focused on what went well for children. Children enjoy their daily activities.
Whānau whakahaere is committed. There have been considerable changes to whānau management. Many key roles have been newly appointed. These include a treasurer, administrator, chairperson and new kaiako. Strategic planning and review have begun. Whānau contributed to the review of the strategic direction. The kaiwhakahaere has a system to support operational duties. There is an emphasis on health, safety and hygiene practices for the children. Whānau have regular hui. They receive reporting that supports their decision-making systems. Children are the priority.
Although assessment and planning systems are in place. Kaimahi acknowledge there is a need to strengthen their processes. It is timely for kaimahi to explore assessment and planning processes that link to te ao Māori. Children’s learning is yet to be linked to te ao Māori.
Evacuation drills are not recorded. Kaimahi have previously made connections between fire drills and children’s learning. However, they are yet to record the drills. it is urgent that kaimahi plan, carry out and record all required evacuation drills. Children’s health and safety may be 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. The kōhanga needs to:
ensure adults are familiar with the relevant emergency drills, for fire and earthquake, and regularly carry these out with the children, and record these drills accordingly.
[R46 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; HS8 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations that whānau regularly evaluate their progress to:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kapua o te Rangi will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Kapua o Te Rangi ki Pāhiatua. Ko te iwi nui o tēnei rohe, ko Rangitāne. Nō iwi kē atu te nuinga o te whānau.
I tāutu te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te maha o ngā whakawhanaketanga papai i whakatutukihia ai ki te kōhanga reo. Ko ētahi o aua āhuatanga ko te hōtaka akoranga a ngā tamariki, te whai wāhi atu a ngā kuia me ngā koroua, te aronga toi whenuatanga, te whakamahere rautaki, ngā taunekeneke me ngā hononga. Ko ētahi āhuatanga hei whakapai ake, ko ngā mahi aromatawai, ko te aromātai hōtaka, ko ngā arohaehae, me ngā wāhi motuhake mō te reo Māori.
He pai te hono atu a ngā tamariki ki a rātou anō, ki tō rātou whānau hoki i te kōhanga reo.
Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki ngā huihuinga, ngā mahinga, me ngā kaupapa e whai pānga ana ki ō rātou reanga me ō rātou āheinga. He pai te aro nui a ngā tamariki ki ngā pākeke e manaaki ana, e hāpai ana hoki i a rātou i roto i ā rātou akoranga. Ka kitea te noho hāneanea, te harikoa hoki o ngā tamariki i roto i tō rātou taiao ako.
He pai te āhua o ngā taunekeneke a ngā tamariki ki ō rātou hoa, ki ngā pākeke hoki. Ka ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki te tuari i ngā rauemi, te tuku wā tākaro ki ētahi atu, ā, ka noho whakaute ki ētahi atu. Ka tautoko ngā tuākana, ā, he tino tauira rātou mō ngā tēina. Ka āta whakatauira ngā kaimahi i te awhi, te aroha, te manaaki me te tautoko ki ngā tamariki i roto i ā rātou akoranga. Ka wheako ngā tamariki i ngā hononga me ngā taunekeneke tūturu e atawhai ana i a rātou.
Ka whakatinana ngā tamariki i ngā mahinga hauora i ia te wā. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki te whai whakaaro nui ki tō rātou taiao, mā te akiaki i a rātou ki te whakapai haere i ā rātou mahi, me te tiaki i ā rātou ake taonga. Ko ngā mahinga e pā ana ki te horoi ringa, te haere ki te whare paku, me ngā wā kai, e hāpai ana i ngā tamariki ki te āta ako i ngā mahi ki te tiaki i a rātou anō, i ō rātou pūkenga tiaki hoki. E whakawhanake ana ngā tamariki i ngā waiaro papai ki te tiaki i a rātou anō me tō rātou waiora.
Ka ako ngā tamariki i te reo Māori ki tētahi taiao e hāpai ana i a rātou. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki ka hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga o ngā pūkenga reo o ngā tamariki. Kua waia haere ngā tuakana ki ngā hanganga reo e hāngai ana ki te karakia, te hīmene, ngā pepeha me ngā mihi. Ka mārama, ka whai atu hoki ngā tamariki tēina i ngā tohutohu me ngā pātai māmā, mā te āwhina tonu o ngā tuākana me ngā kaimahi. He pai te whakawhanaketanga o te māramatanga me te whakamahinga a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori.
Kua āta whakaritea ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te aromātai hōtaka me te aromatawai i ngā pēpi. He auau te aromātai hōtaka, ā, ka whai pānga anō hoki ki te whakapaitanga ake o ngā whakaakoranga me ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. He pai te whakaritenga o ngā pūkete a ngā pēpi, he pai hoki ngā mōhiohio, ā, ka kitea tā rātou ahu whakamua.
He pai te whakahaeretanga a te whānau i te maha o ngā tūmomo āhuatanga o te kōhanga reo. He tau te angamahi kaupapa here a te whānau, hei ārahi i tā rātou whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. He pakari te tūnga pūtea a te whānau. Pūrongotia ai te maha o ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo i ia te wā. Kua āta whakaritea te whakahaere tari. He pai te mahi ngātahi a te whānau ki te whakatutuki i ngā putanga hua mā ngā tamariki.
He whāiti noa ngā mahere hōtaka me ngā mahi aromatawai e pā ana ki ngā tamariki tuākana. Me nui ake ki ngā mahere ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki te kiko o te hōtaka, ngā rauemi, me ngā rautaki ako, hei ārahi i ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi. Kāhore anō kia oti ngā tauira aromatawai a ngā tamariki tuākana, ā, kāhore hoki i tohua ki te rā, he kōrerorero rānei ki runga i ngā mahi a ngā tamariki. Ka whakamārama ngā whakaahua i tēnā e mahia ana e ngā tamariki, kāhore e tohu ana i tēnā e ākona ana e rātou. Me aro wawe atu ki aua āhuatanga nā te whai pānga nui o ēnei ki te ako a ngā tamariki.
Me whakawhanake ake i ētahi o ngā āhuatanga e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga. Me whakahou ake, me whakaoti rānei i ētahi o ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi. Kāhore anō te āhua mahi a ngā kaimahi kia arohaehaengia. Kāhore he mahere ā-tau ā te whānau hei hāpai i ā rātou kaupapa rautaki matua. Kāhore ngā kaimahi e pūrongo ana ki te whānau i ngā wā katoa, mō ngā whakawhanaketanga ka whakatutukihia i roto i te hōtaka akoranga a ngā tamariki. Mā te whakatutuki i aua tikanga, ka pakari anō hoki ngā tukanga whakahaere 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 tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga te wāhanga e whai ake nei, kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture, arā:
E taunaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, kia tahuri te whānau:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Kapua o Te Rangi ki Pāhiatua. He pai te mahi ngātahi a te whānau, ā, he maha ngā wāhanga o te kōhanga reo e tino whakahaerehia ana e rātou.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kapua o Te Rangi i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Kapua o Te Rangi is in Pahiatua. The main iwi for this area is Rangitāne. The majority of whānau represent various other iwi throughout.
The previous ERO report identified a number of positive developments that were happening in the kōhanga reo. These included the children’s learning programme, kuia and koroua participation, sense of belonging, strategic planning and interactions and relationships. Areas for improvement included assessment practices, programme evaluation, appraisals and te reo Māori zones.
Children relate well with each other and their whānau at the kōhanga reo.
Children participate in events, routines and activities that suit their ages and abilities. Children respond well to adults who care and support them with their learning. Children show that they are comfortable and happy in their learning environment.
Children interact with their peers and adults in positive ways. Children willingly share resources, take turns and treat each other with respect. Tuakana are supportive and are positive role models for teina. Kaimahi model awhi, aroha and manaaki and support children well in their learning. Children experience relationships and interactions which are genuine and caring.
Children practise healthy habits on a regular basis. Kaimahi encourage children to show respect for their environment by encouraging them to tidy up after themselves and take care of their personal belongings. Routines for hand washing, toileting and the eating of food allow children to learn about important self care and self help skills. Children are developing positive attitudes to their self care and wellbeing.
Children learn te reo Māori in a supportive environment. Kaimahi use a range of useful strategies to help develop children’s language skills. The older children are familiar with language structures for karakia, hīmene, waiata, pepeha, and mihi. The younger children understand and follow basic instructions and questions with help from tuakana and kaimahi. Children are developing well in their understanding and use of te reo Māori.
Processes for programme evaluation and the assessment of babies are well established. Programme evaluation is regular, and contributes to teaching and learning improvements for children. The profile folders for babies are well organised, have good information and show how they are progressing.
Whānau manage several aspects of the kōhanga reo well. Whānau have a sound policy framework to guide them with the management of the kōhanga reo. Whānau are in a strong financial position. There is regular reporting on many areas of kōhanga reo operations. Office administration is well established. Whānau work well together to achieve positive outcomes for children.
Programme planning and assessment practices for the older children are limited. More information about programme content, resourcing and learning strategies need to be included in plans to guide kaimahi practice. The assessment templates for the older children are incomplete and there are no dates or comments on children’s work. Photographs describe what children are doing and not what they are learning. These matters need attention as they have a direct impact on children’s learning.
There are some management matters that need further development. Personnel records need updating and or completion. Kaimahi have not had their performance appraised. Whānau do not have an annual plan to support their strategic priorities. Kaimahi do not always report to whānau about the developments that occur within the children’s learning programme. Addressing these requirements will strengthen the kōhanga reo management processes.
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 identified the following areas of non-compliance:
ERO recommends that the whānau:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Kapua o Te Rangi is in Pahiatua. Whānau work well together and manage several aspects of the kōhanga reo operations well.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Kapua o Te Rangi will be in three years.
