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 Ngāti Kahungunu te iwi
Ko Te Whatuiāpiti rāua ko Ngāti Kere ngā hapū
Ko Waipukurau te hapori
Ko Tamatea te taiwhenua, ko Tamatea te purapura
Ko Waipukurau Te Kohanga Reo
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Waipukurau ki te hapori o Waipukurau, ki Te Matau-a-Māui. Nō te tau 1982 te kōhanga reo i whakatūngia ai, nā te kaha whai wāhi mai a ngā kuia me ngā kaumātua, me te tautoko hoki o te hapori. Ka whakaū te whānau i ngā tino hononga ki Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Takapau, ā, ka mahi tahi kia pai, kia ngāwari hoki te whakawhiti atu a te mokopuna ki te kura.
Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna te tupu haere o tō rātou ngākau titikaha ki te whakapuaki i tō rātou māramatanga ki te tuakiritanga.
E ako ana ngā mokopuna i tō rātou tuakiri me tō rātou ahurea mā roto mai i tētahi taiao e tiaki ana i a rātou. Ka tautāwhi mātātoa atu rātou ki ngā whai wāhitanga ako e poipoi ana i ngā hononga mā ngā pōwhiri. Ka arahina aua wā e ngā tamariki o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Takapau, e ngā whānau, e ngā kaimahi hoki. Ka kitea e ngā mokopuna ngā tikanga o te pōwhiri, ā, mā aua wheako, ka waia haere rātou ki ngā tikanga me ngā kawa o te marae me tō rātou kōhanga reo. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā mokopuna ki ngā akoranga tūturu, tae atu ki ngā kōrero tuku iho a ngā iwi o te hapori e tautāwhi ai i ngā tikanga pērā i te karanga, te whaikōrero, te haka pōwhiri, me te harirū. Ka toro atu ngā kaimahi ki te tangongitanga o ngā rautaki reo e hāpai ana i ngā mokopuna ki te whakapakari i tō rātou māramatanga me tā rātou whakamahinga i te reo Māori. Ko ētahi o aua rautaki, ko te whāngai kupu, te tāruarua, ngā tohutohu, ngā karakia, me ngā waiata. E tupu haere ana te ngākau titikaha o ngā mokopuna tuākana ki te tū me te taki i ō rātou pepeha. Ka kitea te māramatanga o ngā pēpi ki ō rātou menemene me ā rātou katakata. Ka whakatairanga ngā taunekeneke a ngā kaimahi ki ngā mokopuna i te ngākau māhaki, i te rangimārie, me te whakaute. Ka kitea te whakaute me te manaaki o ngā tuākana ki ō rātou tēina. E whai pūtake ana ngā taunekeneke a ngā mokopuna ki ō rātou hoa me ngā kaimahi.
E akiaki ana te wāhi o waho i te tūhura, ā, ka taunekeneke ngā mokopuna ki waenga i a rātou anō mā te tangongitanga o ngā taumahi. E pērā ana hoki te muramura me te rāhiri o te wāhi ako o roto, ā, he māmā noa te whakapā atu ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rauemi e whakaongaonga ana i ō rātou ngākau nuitanga. E whiwhi ana ngā mokopuna i ngā akoranga e whakahōhonu ana i tō rātou māramatanga ā-ahurea, ā, e whakapakari ana i tō rātou tuakiri, e poipoi ana i te manawa whakahī anō hoki mō ā rātou taonga tuku iho. He ngākau titikaha ō ngā mokopuna hei ākonga.
Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaimahi ki te whakamahere i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka toro atu ki te whānau ki te whakapuaki i ā rātou tirohanga. Kua whakaaro nuitia te whakawhanaketanga o te mahere ā-tau, ā, ka whakamōhio i ngā mahere ā-wāhanga me ngā mahere ā-marama, hei ārahi i te whakatinanatanga o te hōtaka o ia rā. Ka kapohia te ako a ngā mokopuna ki te Aromatawai i te katoa o te Mokopuna me ngā Kōnae Mokopuna, ā, ka aru i te ako me te ahu whakamua a ia mokopuna i roto i te roanga o te wā. He pai te whakamōhio a ngā kaimahi i ngā whānau mō te ako a ngā mokopuna, ā, e ākina ana ngā kōrero urupare e pā ana ki te whakawhanaketanga o ngā tamariki. Whakaaro huritao ai rātou i ia te wā mō te hōtaka akoranga, ā, he mātātoa tā rātou rapu huarahi ki te whakatairanga i ngā whai wāhitanga ako e whakatutuki ai i ngā matea ako ake o ia mokopuna. E whai hua ana ngā mokopuna nā tētahi hōtaka e aro nui ana ki ō rātou matea, ā, kua waihangatia ki te mahi ngātahi a ngā kaimahi.
Kua whakaritea e ngā whānau ngā tukanga mārama, tukanga pono hoki ki te whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo kia whai hua ai. Kei te tūtohinga te whakatakotoranga matawhānui o te hītori o te kōhanga reo, mai i tōna tīmatanga, ā, e whakaraupapa ana hoki i te tino ārahitanga me te aronga nahanaha e hāngai ana ki ngā mātāpono o Te Korowai. He pai te taetae atu ki ngā hui ā-whānau, ā, ka whai pūtake te whakatakoto haere i ngā meneti hei kapo atu i ngā whakawhitinga kōrero matua me ngā whakataunga. E whakahaerehia ana ngā take pūtea mā ngā pūrongo mārama e whakapuakihia ai ki ia hui, hei āta whakatau i te taha takohanga. Ko ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga o te hauora, te haumaru, me ngā kaimahi, e hāngai katoa ana ki ngā herenga ā-ture o te wā, ā, ka aro nui ki te waiora o ngā mokopuna mā te matawhānui o ngā tuhinga i āta whakaritea ai. Ka whakamātauhia, ka tuhia hoki i ia te wā, ko ngā akoako e pā ana ki te rū whenua me te ahi, kia noho rite ai mō ngā wā ohotata. Kua whakahāngai te mahere ā-tau ki Ngā Pou Matua o Te Kōhanga Reo, ā, ka ārahi i te katoa o ngā mahi whakahaere ki te kōhanga reo me te tari, ka whakatakoto hoki i ngā tino rārangi wā mō te whakatutukitanga. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te noho mōhio o te whānau, me tā rātou whakatau ngātahi i ngā whakaritenga.
Ka āta whakaarohia te toitūtanga o te kōhanga reo. Ka hāngai te mahere rautaki ki ngā wawata o te whānau mō ā rātou mokopuna, ā, ka arotahi ki ngā kaupapa matua pērā i te waiora o te whānau me ngā mokopuna, i te whakaū ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo, me te tuitui i ngā uara o te ao Māori. Ka kitea ki te mahere mahi te ū ki te toitūtanga mō meāke nei, ka āta whakatakoto i te kiko o ngā whāinga, ngā aronga, ngā rārangi wā, me ngā huarahi aroturuki. E whai hua ana te whakahaeretanga o ngā take kaimahi. Kei ngā tuhinga tuku mahi, ko ngā kirimina mahi me ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi a ia kaimahi, me ngā tuhinga kua arowhai i te haumaru o ngā kaimahi. Ka arotahi ngā arohaehae ki te poipoi i te tupu me te whanaketanga o ia kaimahi. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Ahakoa he kaupapa here mō te ārai tamariki, e mōhio ana te whānau me ngā kaimahi, e tika ana kia nahanaha ake ā rātou mahi ki te whakatairanga i te mōhiotanga me te māramatanga ki ngā tukanga. E whakatau ana hoki Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki taua tūāhuatanga me te aronga nui kia noho mātua rā te haumaru me te waiora 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 whakapiki ake tonu te whānau i te mōhiotanga me te māramatanga ki ngā tukanga i whakaraupapahia ai ki te kaupapa here e pā ana ki te ārai tamariki.

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 Ngāti Kahungunu te iwi
Ko te Whatuiāpiti rāua ko Ngāti Kere ngā hapū
Ko Waipukurau te hapori
Ko Tamatea te taiwhenua, ko Tamatea te purapura
Ko Waipukurau Te Kohanga Reo
Te Kōhanga Reo o Waipukurau is in Waipukurau, Central Hawkes Bay. It was established in 1982 with kuia and kaumātua involvement and community support. Whānau maintain a close relationship with Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Takapau, working together to create a seamless pathway for mokopuna to the kura.
Mokopuna show they are growing in their confidence to express their understanding of tuakiritanga.
Mokopuna learn about their identity and culture in a supportive environment. They actively embrace learning opportunities that foster connections through pōwhiri. Tamariki from Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Takapau, along with whānau and kaimahi, provide leadership during these times. Mokopuna observe the formalities of pōwhiri, and through these experiences, become familiar with ngā tikanga and kawa of the marae and their whare kōhanga reo. Mokopuna engage in authentic learning that includes narratives from the local iwi, embracing traditions such as karanga, whaikōrero, haka pōwhiri, and harirū. Kaimahi employ various language strategies to support mokopuna in strengthening their understanding and use of te reo Māori. These include prompts, repetition, instructions, karakia and waiata. Older mokopuna stand with growing confidence to recite their pepeha. Pēpi expressions of understanding are reflected in their smiles and laughter. Kaimahi interactions with mokopuna are expressed through ngākau māhaki, rangimārie and whakaute. Tuākana show respect and care towards their tēina. Mokopuna interactions with their peers and kaimahi are meaningful.
The outdoor area encourages exploration and interaction among mokopuna through a variety of activities. The indoor learning space is equally as colourful and inviting providing easy access to a wide range of resources to stimulate their interests. Mokopuna experience learning that deepens their cultural understanding and strengthens their identity, nurturing a sense of pride in their heritage. Mokopuna are confident learners.
Kaimahi work collaboratively to plan the learning programme. Whānau are invited to contribute their insights. The mahere a tau is thoughtfully developed and informs both term and monthly planning to guide the implementation of the daily programme. Mokopuna learning is captured in Aromatawai i te Katoa o te Mokopuna and Kōnae Mokopuna which track individual mokopuna learning and progress overtime. Kaimahi ensure whānau are well informed about mokopuna learning and encourage feedback on their development. They regularly reflect on the learning programme and actively seek ways to enhance learning opportunities to meet the individual learning needs of mokopuna. Mokopuna benefit from a programme that is responsive to their needs, shaped by the collaborative practices of kaimahi.
Whānau have established clear and reliable processes to efficiently manage the kōhanga reo operations. The tūtohinga provides a comprehensive account of the kōhanga reo history since its establishment and sets out clear guidance and a structured approach that aligns with the principles of Te Korowai. Whānau hui are well attended, with minutes recorded purposefully to capture key discussions and decisions. Financial matters are managed with transparent reports shared at each hui to ensure accountability. Health, safety and personnel policies and procedures align to current legislation prioritising mokopuna wellness through comprehensive and organised documentation. Routine earthquake and fire drills are practiced and recorded to ensure preparedness for emergencies. The annual plan, aligned to Ngā Pou Matua o Te Kohanga Reo, guides all operational and administrative tasks, with specific timelines for completion.
Sustainability for the kōhanga reo is thoughtfully planned. The strategic plan reflects whānau aspirations for their mokopuna, focussing on key priorities such as whānau and mokopuna wellbeing, commitment to te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo and incorporating te ao Māori values. The action plan shows a commitment to future sustainability, detailing goals, approaches, timelines, and monitoring methods. Personnel matters are managed efficiently. Employment documentation consists of individual employment agreements, position descriptions and completed safety checks for kaimahi. Appraisals focus on nurturing the growth and development of each kaimahi. Mokopuna are the core focus of whānau whakahaere practices.
While there is a Child Protection Policy in place, whānau and kaimahi acknowledge the need to be intentional in their ongoing efforts to enhance awareness and understanding the procedures. ERO agrees with this and acknowledges the emphasis on prioritising mokopuna safety and wellbeing.
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 increase awareness and understanding of the procedures outlined within the Child Protection Policy.

Ka taea hoki e ngā tamariki ngā taumahi te tīpako, mai i ērā i whakaritea ai e ngā kaimahi. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki ngā taumahi e whakawhanake ana i ō rātou pūkenga kōiri. Ko ētahi o aua pūkenga e hāngai ana ki te kutikuti, te tā peita, me te tā pikitia. He ngāwari ki ngā tamariki te whakawhitiwhiti haere i ngā taumahi. Kua whakatakotohia e ngā kaimahi ngā mahinga kia tiaki te tamaiti i a ia anō, mō ngā wā kai, te horoi ringa, me te moe. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou māramatanga ki aua mahinga.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Waipukurau is in Waipukurau. Since the last review, new whānau to the kōhanga reo have participated in SELO (Supporting Early Learning Opportunities) assistance. The whānau have worked tirelessly to address all areas of concern from the previous report. They show confidence in their roles.
Children show an understanding of whanaungatanga through their relationships with others. They are developing as confident learners.
Children learn in an environment that is loving. Whānau share whakapapa connections to each other. Kaimahi know their children well and use this knowledge to care for children. Babies are sung gently to sleep. Older children go to kaimahi for reassurance and attention. Children form connections with others based on trust and respect. Older children care and look after their teina. Babies learn from their tuākana. Whānau know their children are safe in their kōhanga reo. Children appear secure.
Children have opportunities to learn te reo Māori. Kaimahi have established an environment that is committed to the revitalisation of the Māori language. Whānau share their aspirations for children to be speakers of te reo Māori. Kaimahi draw on a range of strategies to support children’s language development. They read books, sing waiata, share karakia, share their pepeha, role model the correct use of te reo Māori, instructions, affirming statements and asking questions. Children interact with excitement as they are being read to. Children can respond to simple questions when encouraged by adults. Children are developing as beginning speakers of te reo Māori.
Children are provided opportunities to explore their learning environments. The learning programme is set up to allow children to follow their interests. Children are also able to choose from activities set up by kaimahi. Children engage in activities that develop their fine motor skills. These include cutting, painting and drawing. Children move between activities with ease. Kaimahi have established self-care routines for kai, washing hands and sleep. Children show an understanding of these routines. Children are developing as confident learners.
Whānau whakahaere has improved. The expertise used to support the whānau has helped them develop systems to meet operational tasks. Whānau are confident in their newly acquired skills and capabilities. Children will benefit from an improvement focus.
Whānau have a growing understanding of the role of self-review to inform improvements. They have adopted a system to address self-review. The charter has been updated. All health and safety policies and procedures are current and align to relevant legislation. Whānau are aware of their strategic goals for the future. Progress against their strategic direction is tabled at whānau hui. Personnel documents are current. Kaimahi are positive about the professional support because of their appraisal process.
Kaimahi plan the learning programme together. They understand their planning and how to use this to meet the needs of their children. Well-presented profile books show children’s learning. Whānau enjoy reading children’s profiles. Kaimahi engage in evaluative discussions in their hui. They use these conversations to make changes to their mahi. Children’s 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:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Waipukurau will be in three years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Waipukurau ki Waipukurau. He hiahia tō te whānau ki te mōhio ki te āhua o ngā mahi e poipoi ana i ā rātou tamariki hei ākonga. I tāutu Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kei te ako ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e hāpai ana, e manaaki ana hoki i a rātou.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Waipukurau i roto i te toru o ngā tau.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Waipukurau ki te marae o Waipukurau. Nō ngā tau tata kua pahure ake nei, kua whakaotia ngā whakapaitanga ki te whare o te kōhanga reo, hei whakatutuki i ngā tikanga herenga ā-rohe o te kaunihera. Kua tau mai anō te pākahukahu ki waenga i te whānau i a rātou e whakariterite ana ki te whakatū i tētahi whare hou mō te kōhanga reo.
E whakaatu ana ngā tamariki e ako ana ki tētahi taiao e hāpai ana, e atawhai anō hoki i a rātou, ā, kei te tino poipoia hoki rātou.
Kei te whakamanahia te whakawhanaketanga ā-whatumanawa, ā-ahurea, ā-wairua hoki ō ngā tamariki. Ka tae atu rātou ki ngā tangihanga me ngā huihuinga i te marae e tū ana tō rātou kōhanga reo. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi me te whānau i ngā uaratanga o te manaaki me te atawhai i a rātou e whakatau manuhiri ana ki te kōhanga reo. Ka ako ngā tamariki i te tū a te tangata whenua, ā, ka waiata, ka mōteatea hoki rātou hei kīnaki i ngā whaikōrero. E ako ana rātou i ngā kawa me ngā tikanga mā ngā wheako māori. Ka ako ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e whakatūturu ana i ngā tikanga Māori.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e whakamana nui ana i te kōrero i te reo Māori. Rongo ai ngā tamariki i te reo Māori puta noa i te rā. Ka whakarato ngā kaiako me ngā mema o te whānau i ngā whaiwāhitanga mā ngā tamariki ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā pōwhiri, ā, ka whakatauirahia e ngā kaikōrero te rere o te reo. Ka whai wāhi atu, ka hāpai hoki ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki te taki i ō rātou pepeha. He tākare te aro atu a ngā tamariki ki te korikori tinana me te waiata ā-ringa. E noho pūmau ana ngā kaimahi ki te whakawhānui i tō rātou mōhiotanga, tā rātou whakamahinga anō hoki i te reo Māori. Kei te whakangungu te nuinga hei whakapiki ake tonu i ā rātou tohu mātauranga i roto i te reo Māori. Kei te pakari haere ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
Ka whai wāhi ngā tamariki ki ngā taumahi ako e tino whai hua ana. Ka whakaratohia te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi, rauemi hoki mā ngā tamariki, hei kōkiri i tā rātou ake ako. He ngāwari te whakawhiti atu i ngā taumahi ki te tēpu kai. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki te whakaaro pohewa, te mahi auaha, me te whakaoti rapanga. He pakari ngā tamariki ki te whakatewhatewha me te whakamātau i ngā rauemi māoriori, tūturu hoki hei ākonga. E āta mātakina ana ngā tamariki i a rātou e noho ana ki te kōhanga reo. He whakaute, he atawhai hoki tō ngā taunekeneke ki waenga i ngā tamariki me ngā kaimahi. Ka whakakoia, ka whakanuia hoki ngā whakatutukitanga o ngā tamariki.
Ka ako ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e whakamana ana i te tū Māori. Ka ako rātou i ngā kōrero tuku iho me ngā mōteatea a tō rātou rohe. Ka hāpai ēnei i a rātou ki te āta tūhonohono ki tō rātou tuakiri hei uri o te iwi. Ka whakarite ngā kaimahi kia whai wāhi atu ai ngā tamariki ki ngā wheako akoranga ki tua atu i te kōhanga reo. He pai te whakamahere i ngā haerenga, ā, e tino tautokona ana e te whānau. Kei te haere ki ētahi atu kōhanga reo e whakapūmau ana i ngā hononga o ngā tamariki ki te hapori. Ka whiwhi ngā tamariki i ngā akoranga e mau nei i te whanaungatanga hei uaratanga matua o te kōhanga reo.
Kua tae ki te wā kia whai whakaaro ngā kaimahi ki ētahi atu huarahi ako mō ā rātou pēpi. Kua whakaurua ngā pēpi ki te hōtaka o ngā tamariki tuākana, ā, kāhore tēnei e āta aro nui ana ki ō rātou ake matea ā-whatumanawa, ā-tinana hoki. Ka whai hua ngā pēpi mā tētahi hōtaka akoranga e hāngai pū ana ki ō rātou ake matea.
Ka whai hua ngā mahi whakamahere, ā, ka ārahi hoki i te whakapuakitanga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whakarato ngā kaiako i ngā pūrongo ki te whānau i ia te wā, hei tohu i te āhua o te ako a ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo. Ko te tautoko tonutanga i ia te wā, me te ārahitanga anō hoki o te purapura me ngā kaupapa kaimahi ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo i āta whakatau i te tino māramatanga o ngā kaimahi ki te aromātai hōtaka. Ināianei, ka tuhi haere ngā kaimahi i tēnā o te hōtaka akoranga i whai hua ai, i tēnā hoki kāhore i whai hua ai, kia tau ai kē ko ngā whakapaitanga. Ka whai hua ngā tamariki nā tētahi hōtaka e āta aroturukitia ana, e āta whakahaerehia ana hoki.
E hāngai ana ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi me ngā arohaehae ki te wā, ā, nō nā tata tonu nei ngā kaupapa here i arotakengia ai kia hāngai ai ēnei ki te Vulnerable Children’s Act o 2014. He mārama, he pakari anō hoki te whakahaeretanga o ngā pūtea. He mārama te aronga rautaki a te whānau, me ngā mahere mahi. Ko ngā whakawhitinga kōrero e pā ana ki te whakahou ake i te kōhanga reo kua kōkirihia te whakaaro ki te whakakapi i te katoa, ā, e tautokona ana tēnei e Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo. Ahakoa he tawhito te whare, ā, e tika ana kia whakatikaina ētahi wāhanga, he mā tonu te kōhanga reo. Ka whakarato te whānau i tētahi taiao haumaru mō ngā tamariki.
He mea nui kia whakatakoto te whānau i tētahi tukanga e āta whakarite ana i te mōrearea kore o ngā tūmomo taputapu e wātea ana ki ngā tamariki. Kāhore ētahi o ngā wāhi tākaro o waho me ngā rauemi o waho hoki e āta tiakina ana mā ngā tamariki. Ko ngā taputapu tākaro o waho me ngā wāhi putu, he rehurehu, kāore hoki i te pai te whakarite mai.
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.
Kua whakatōpū te whānau i tā rātou ahu whakamua i roto i ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te whare o te kōhanga reo. Ko te whakataunga ki te whakakapi i te whare – kaua ko te whakahou tonu i te whare o tēnei wā – e āta whakarite ana i te rōnakitanga o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Waipukurau ki Waipukurau. He hiahia tō te whānau ki te mōhio ki te āhua o ngā mahi e poipoi ana i ā rātou tamariki hei ākonga. I tāutu Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga kei te ako ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e hāpai ana, e manaaki ana hoki i a rātou.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Waipukurau i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Waipukurau is situated in Waipukurau. Whānau were keen to know how well their children were being nurtured as learners. ERO identified that children are learning in a supportive and caring environment.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Waipukurau will be in three years.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Waipukurau is located on Waipukurau Marae. Repairs have been completed in recent years to ensure the kōhanga reo building meets council by-law requirements. Whānau have a renewed sense of vigour as they plan toward the building of new kōhanga reo premises.
Children show that they are learning in a supportive and caring environment and are nurtured well.
Children’s emotional, cultural and spiritual development are affirmed. They participate in tangihanga and other marae gatherings that are held at the kōhanga reo. Kaimahi and whānau model values of manaaki and atawhai when welcoming manuhiri to the kōhanga reo. Children learn tangata whenua roles and support whaikōrero with waiata and mōteatea. They are learning to observe kawa and tikanga through authentic experiences. Children learn in an environment where tikanga Māori is normalised.
Children are learning in an environment where te reo Māori spoken is prioritised. Children hear te reo Māori consistently throughout the day. Kaiako and whānau members provide opportunities for children to participate in pōwhiri where fluency is modelled by kaikorero. Kaimahi participate and support children to recite their pepeha. Children respond enthusiastically to korikori tinana and waiata-ā-ringa. Kaimahi are committed to extending their knowledge and use of te reo Māori. Most are training to gain further qualifications in te reo Māori. Children are developing confidence as speakers of Māori.
Children participate in rewarding learning activities. A variety of activities and a range of resources are provided for children to initiate their own learning. Transition from activities to the kai table is smooth. Kaimahi encourage children’s imagination, creativity and problem solving. Children are confident to investigate and experiment with the natural and physical resources as learners. Children are well supervised during their time at kōhanga reo. Interactions between children and kaimahi are respectful and kind. Children’s achievements are affirmed and celebrated.
Children learn in an environment where being Māori is valued. They learn stories and mōteatea of their local region. These help them to connect to their tribal identity. Kaimahi ensure that children experience learning outside the kōhanga reo. Excursions are well planned and supported by whānau. Visiting other kōhanga reo reinforce children’s links with the local community. Children experience learning where whanaungatanga is a core value of the kōhanga reo.
It is time for kaimahi to consider other learning alternatives for their babies. The babies are integrated in to the programme with the older children which does not respond to their emotional and physical needs. Babies would benefit from a learning programme that caters specifically to their needs.
Planning is effective and guides the delivery of the learning programme. Kaiako provide whānau with regular reports to show how well children are learning at kōhanga reo. On-going support and guidance from the Purapura and District TKRNT staff have given kaimahi a sound understanding of programme evaluation. Kaimahi now record what worked and what didn’t in the learning programme in order to make improvements. Children benefit from a programme that is monitored and well managed.
Employee documentation and appraisals are up to date and policies have been recently reviewed to align to the Vulnerable Children’s Act 2014. Financial management is transparent and robust. Whānau have a clear strategic direction and action plans. Discussions around refurbishment of the kōhanga have progressed to a total replacement which is supported by TKRNT. Although the building is dated and some areas need attention, the kōhanga is generally clean and tidy. Whānau provide a safe environment for children.
It is important that whānau put in place a process to ensure that the equipment children have access to, is safe. Some outdoor play areas and resources are not well maintained for children. Outdoor play equipment and storage areas are unclean and disorganised.
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.
Whānau have consolidated their direction going forward regarding the kōhanga reo building. The decision to replace the building instead of further renovation ensures sustainability of the kōhanga reo into the future.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Waipukurau is situated in Waipukurau. Whānau were keen to know how well their children were being nurtured as learners. ERO identified that children are learning in a supportive and caring environment.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Waipukurau will be in three years.
