Ngā Oho Mata Kamo Kamo Te Kōhanga Reo
Kei Korongata e tū ana
He maha ngā mokopuna hei ako i te reo Māori o ngā tīpuna e
E tū ana a Ngā Oho Mata Kamo Kamo Te Kōhanga Reo o Korongata ki te hapori iti o Bridge Pā, ki te tonga o Heretaunga. Kei te taha o te marae o Korongata e tū ana. Ko te aronga matua a te whānau, kia rumakina ngā mokopuna ki te reo Māori, ā, kia ako rātou i tō rātou tuakiri ā-ahurea, ka tautāwhi hoki i ō rātou uara ā-ahurea.
E mārama haere ana ngā mokopuna ki te tāmokotanga.
Kua rumakina ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao kua whakapūmautia ki ngā uara o te mātauranga Māori. Ka whakatinana ngā kuia me ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki whai hua hei waihanga i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te rongo i te reo Māori mā ngā horopaki ōkawa me ngā horopaki ōpaki. Ka whai wāhi mātātoa ngā tuākana ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero māmā ki te taha o ō rātou kuia, ngā kaimahi, me ō rātou hoa. Ka kitea te harikoakoa o ngā pēpi i a rātou e whakaatu ana i tō rātou māramatanga mā te tāwhai me te tohu ā-ringa, ā-tinana hoki. Ka whai hua ngā kaimahi ki te whakamahi i ngā tūmomo huarahi e whakahōhonu ana i te māramatanga o ngā mokopuna ki ā rātou taonga tuku iho, mā te toro atu ki ngā whakataukī, ngā kīwaha, me ngā waiata, ngā haka, me ngā pao hoki o te takiwā nei. Ka ngākau nui ngā mokopuna ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou mōhiotanga ki ngā tātai whakapapa, i a rātou e taki ana i ō rātou pepeha mā te iti noa o te āwhina. Ko ngā mātāpono o te tauwhirotanga, te mākohakoha me te aumārire e whai pānga matua ana ki ngā taunekeneke katoa. I ngā wā katoa, ka poipoi ngā kaimahi i ngā hononga whai pūtake ki te taha o ngā mokopuna, ā, ka whakapuaki i te taiao e hāpai ana, e poipoi ana hoki kia puāwai ai ngā mokopuna. Kitea ai, whakanuia ai hoki ngā whakatutukitanga o ngā mokopuna i ia te wā. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā ngā akoranga e poipoi ana i tō rātou mana, tō rātou wairua, me tō rātou mauri.
Kei te mahinga o ia rā ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te whakapuaki, te whakamārama, me te whakanui i ō rātou wheako ako. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna ki te toro atu ki ngā rauemi, ā, ka āta whakatakoto hoki i ngā mahinga e māramahia ana, e taunga ana. Ka whakaongaongatia, ka poipoia, ka whakatairangatia ngā mokopuna i roto i ā rātou akoranga mā te tangongitanga o ngā aronga. Ka toro atu te papa tākaro ki tua atu i te kōhanga reo ki te marae, ā, ka akiaki i te tūhura me te tūhono a ngā mokopuna i tō rātou tūrangawaewae. He ngākau titikaha ō ngā mokopuna hei ākonga.
E āta whakaarohia ana, e aroturukitia ana, e tuhia ana hoki te ako a ngā mokopuna. Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaimahi ki te whakamahere, ki te aroturuki i te ako a ngā mokopuna, me te aromātai auau i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga. E whai kiko ana ngā mahere, ā, ka ārahi i te whakatinanatanga o ngā kaupapa mahi e hāngai pū ana ki ngā atua Māori me te taiao e noho nei rātou. He mahere ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, ā-wiki hoki, ā, ka hono pū ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo. Kua āta whakatakotohia ngā pūkete hei whakatakoto haere i te ako a ia mokopuna, i ō rātou whakawhanaketanga anō hoki. He pai te whakamōhio i ngā whānau ki te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna. Whakawhiti kōrero ai ngā kaimahi i te kounga o te hōtaka akoranga i ia te wā. He mahi riterite tēnei e whakamōhio ana i ngā whakarerekētanga, ā, e aro nui ana hoki ki ngā matea o ngā mokopuna. E whai hua ana ngā mokopuna nā te whakatōpūtanga o ngā whakaritenga a ngā kaimahi.
Kua whakaritea e ngā whānau ngā tukanga whai hua mō te whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo. Tū ai ngā hui i ia te wā, he pai te taetae atu, ā, ka whakapuaki māhorahora i ngā mōhiohio. Ko ngā kaupapa here matua me ngā tukanga matua mō te hauora me te haumaru, e hāngai ana ki ngā herenga ā-ture e tika ana, hei āta whakatau i te aronga matua ki te waiora o ngā mokopuna. Whakatutukihia ai e ngā kaimahi ngā hōneatanga ohotata, ā, ka āta tuhia hoki. Kua arahina te mahere rautaki e Te Ara Tūāpae, ā, e whakaatu ana hoki i te tirohanga ngātahi, i ngā wawata hoki o ngā whānau mō ngā mokopuna. Kua āta tautuhia ngā kaupapa matua me ngā whāinga, ā, he tūāhuatanga e whakatau ana i te rōnakitanga ki anamata. Kua whakatakotohia e ngā whānau tētahi mahere whakahaere ā-tau e whai kiko ana, ā, ka ū pūmau rātou ki te whakatutuki i te katoa o ngā kawenga mahi e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o te tari me te kōhanga reo. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā whakaritenga e whakatau ngātahitia ai e ngā whānau.
He pai te whakariterite i ngā take kaimahi. E hāngai ana ngā tuhinga waiwai ki ngā herenga ā-ture, pērā i ngā kirimana mahi takitahi e mārama ana, e whai kiko ana hoki. Ka whakamārama ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi i ngā pūkenga e tūmanakohia ana ki ngā kaimahi. Kua whakatutukihia, kua manatokotia hoki ngā tuhinga e arowhai ana i te haumaru o ngā kaimahi. Tāpiri atu ki tēnā, ka whakatutukihia te arotake whaiaro mā ngā arohaehae, ā, ka arotahi ki te tupu me te whakawhanaketanga o ngā kaimahi. He tino ārahitanga o roto i te tūtohinga, ā, he aronga nahanaha e ahu mai ana i ngā uara me ngā mātāpono o Te Korowai. Ko te ako a ngā mokopuna, ko tō rātou waiora tonu, e hāpaitia ana mā ngā mahi whakahaere tika a te whānau.
Ahakoa he kaupapa here tā te whānau mō te ārai tamariki, e mōhio ana rātou e tika ana kia hakune ā rātou mahi ki te whakatairanga ake i tō rātou mōhiotanga me tō rātou māramatanga ki te Children's Act 2014. E takune ana te whānau me ngā kaimahi ki te whai wāhi atu ki ētahi atu wānanga me ētahi atu whakangungu, kia mōhio ai, kia mārama ai rātou ki ā rātou kawenga e whakatutuki ai i ngā takohanga o te ture. E whakatau ana hoki Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i taua aronga, ā, e tautoko ana i te aronga pū ki 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.
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia whakapiki tonu te whānau me ngā kaimahi i te māramatanga me te mōhiotanga ki te Children's Act 2014.

Ngā Oho Mata Kamo Kamo Te Kōhanga Reo
Kei Korongata e tū ana
He maha ngā mokopuna hei ako i te reo Māori o ngā tīpuna e
Ngā Oho Mata Kamo Kamo Te Kōhanga Reo o Korongata is in the small settlement of Bridge Pā, south of Hastings. The kōhanga reo is based next to Te Marae o Korongata. Whānau priority is for mokopuna to be immersed in te reo Māori, learning about their cultural identity and embracing their cultural values.
Mokopuna are building their understanding of te tāmokotanga.
Mokopuna are immersed in an environment founded on the values of mātauranga Māori. Kuia and kaimahi apply effective strategies to create opportunities for mokopuna to hear te reo Māori in formal and informal settings. Tuākana actively participate in simple conversations with their kuia, kaimahi and their peers. Pēpi joyfully demonstrate understanding through imitation, hand gestures and body movements. Kaimahi successfully utilise various methods to deepen mokopuna understanding of their cultural and ancestral heritage by incorporating whakataukī, kīwaha, local waiata, haka and pao. Mokopuna take pleasure in sharing their knowledge of whakapapa connections as they recite their pepeha with minimal guidance. The principles of tauwhirotanga, mākohakoha and aumārire are central to all interactions. Kaimahi consistently foster meaningful connections with mokopuna, creating a supportive and nurturing environment where mokopuna can thrive. The achievements of mokopuna are regularly recognised and affirmed. Mokopuna benefit from learning that nurtures their mana, wairua and mauri.
The daily routine provides opportunities for mokopuna to express, interpret and celebrate their learning experiences. Kaimahi encourage mokopuna to engage with physical resources while establishing clear and predictable routines. Mokopuna are stimulated, nurtured and enriched in their learning through a variety of approaches. The papatākaro extends beyond the kōhanga reo to the local marae, encouraging mokopuna to explore and connect with their tūrangawaewae. Mokopuna are confident learners.
Mokopuna learning is well considered, monitored, and documented. Kaimahi work together to plan, monitor mokopuna learning and regularly evaluate the quality of the learning programme. Planning is detailed and guides the implementation of kaupapa mahi that is centred around atua Māori and the local taiao. This includes annual, term, and weekly plans with clear links to Te Whariki ā Te Kōhanga Reo. Well-presented profile books are used to document the learning and development of individual mokopuna. Whānau are well informed about mokopuna learning and progress. Kaimahi regularly discuss the quality of the learning programme. This is a consistent practice that informs changes and responds to mokopuna needs. Mokopuna benefit from collaborative kaimahi practices.
Whānau have established efficient processes for managing the kōhanga reo operations. Regular hui are well attended, and information is openly shared. Key health and safety policies and procedures are aligned to relevant legislation ensuring mokopuna wellbeing remains a top priority. Kaimahi regularly carry out emergency evacuations that are thoroughly documented. The strategic plan, guided by Te Ara Tūāpae, reflects the collective vision and aspirations of whānau for mokopuna. Clearly defined priorities and goals ensure long term sustainability. Whānau have established a detailed annual management plan and remain diligent in attending to all administrative and operational responsibilities. Mokopuna are the centre of collective whānau decision making.
Personnel matters are well-organised. Essential documentation such as clear and detailed individual employment contracts are aligned with legislation. Position descriptions clarify the expected competencies for kaimahi. Safety checks for kaimahi are verified and complete. Additionally, self-review through appraisals focus on the growth and development of kaimahi. The tūtohinga provides clear guidance, and a planned approach based on the values and principles of Te Korowai. Mokopuna learning and overall wellbeing are supported through appropriate whānau whakahaere practices.
While whānau have a robust Child Protection Policy in place, they acknowledge the need to be intentional in their ongoing efforts to enhance awareness and understanding of the Children’s Act 2014. The whānau and kaimahi intend to engage in further wānanga and training to better understand their commitment in fulfilling the obligations of the Act. 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 and the Kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation for whānau and kaimahi to continue to increase understanding and awareness of the Children’s Act 2014.

The Education Review Office, whānau, leaders and communities provide evaluation insights that foster improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability.
Ngā Oho Mata Kamo Kamo Te Kōhanga Reo o Korongata is located in Bridge Pā, south of Hastings. Since the previous ERO review in 2018, there has been significant changes towards improvement. The whānau have systems in place for management practices that focus on enhancing positive outcomes for mokopuna.
Mokopuna experience positive outcomes as a result of improved whānau management processes.
Mokopuna experience caring and meaningful interactions. Whanaungatanga is fostered and supports positive interactions and relationships amongst mokopuna and whānau. Kaimahi promote the values of manaaki, aroha and tiaki. Mokopuna show respect for each other in their interactions throughout the day. Kaimahi use language strategies to strengthen te reo Māori development such as prompts, repetition and modelling to encourage mokopuna to speak te reo Māori. Mokopuna are supported to recite their pepehā and are learning their connections to their tūrangawaewae.
Programme planning supports mokopuna learning. Whānau make useful contributions to planning which is well presented and displayed. Activities and learning experiences are age appropriate. Mokopuna are kept busy and stimulated during kaupapa mahi. Mātai tamaiti supports kaimahi to capture and monitor mokopuna learning and progress. Whānau can see what mokopuna are learning online or at whānau hui. Mokopuna enjoy learning.
Whānau manage the kōhanga reo in the best interests of the mokopuna. They are well informed of developments about kōhanga reo through hui, pānui and online platforms. Administrative tasks are clearly defined in their annual plan. The whanau have strengthened financial management systems and reporting. Te Ara Tūāpae guides whānau strategic planning. Goals and aspirations focus on the future development of the kōhanga reo. Kaimahi appraisals are complete with a continuous focus on professional development. Police vetting is undertaken in accordance with the Children’s Act 2014. There is an ongoing cycle of policy review with a clear focus on health and safety. Emergency evacuation drills for fire and earthquake are practised regularly. Mokopuna benefit from collaborative and positive whānau management practices.
Programme evaluation is developing. Kaimahi hold regular hui to discuss the learning programme. The next steps are to document what the successes were, what didn’t work and what needs to happen to improve the quality of the programme. Mokopuna are likely to benefit from internal evaluation that promotes ongoing improvement.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation:

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Oho Mata Kamokamo o Korongata ki Bridge Pā, ki te tonga o Heretaunga. I tohua ki te pūrongo o mua a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, me whakapai ake i te whai wāhi mai o te whānau ki ngā āhuatanga katoa o te kōhanga reo. He take tonu tēnei hei āta tirohia, ā, kua whai pānga anō hoki taua āhuatanga ki te kounga o ngā whakaratonga mō ngā tamariki me te whānau.
E tīmata ana te puāwai mai o ngā ngākau titikaha o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
E whiwhi ana ngā tamariki i ngā hua e pupū ake ai i tā rātou rongo i te kuia me ngā kaimahi e kōrero ana i te reo Māori. Ka āta whakarite ngā kaimahi kia māmā ai te whakapā atu a ngā tamariki ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rauemi e hāpai ana i tā rātou ako i te reo. Kua kī katoa ngā wāhi o roto ki ngā tino whakaaturanga, tae atu ki ngā tohu, ngā whakaaturanga o ngā atua Māori, me ngā pakiwaitara. Hāpai ai ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki i ia rā ki te whakapuaki me te whakanui i ō rātou pepeha ki te taha o te whānau. Ko tētahi āhuatanga whakahirahira o te hōtaka, ko ngā karakia. Ka ako ngā tamariki i ngā tauira reo i a rātou e taki ana i ngā karakia, ā, e waiata ana i ngā hīmene. Ko ngā tamariki e tūmāia ake ana, ka ākina e ngā kaimahi ki te whakahoki kōrero mā ngā kīanga poto, mā ngā kupu rānei o te reo Māori. E whanake ana te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori.
E whai wāhi atu ana ngā tamariki ki ngā akoranga e whakatūhonohono ana i a rātou ki te taiao māoriori me tō rātou marae. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i te ako a ngā tamariki mā te whakapuaki i ngā kōrero tuku iho, ngā kīanga, me ngā kupu e whai pānga ana ki tā rātou ako i te marae. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i te ako a ngā tamariki i ō rātou tātai whakapapa ki te wāhi nei. Ko te māra kai tētahi aronga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka āta whakarite ngā kaimahi i ngā tūmomo rauemi mā ngā tamariki, hei whakatairanga ake i tō rātou noho maioha, noho mōhio anō hoki ki te mana o te whenua. He mātātoa te tūhura haere o ngā tamariki i ō rātou taiao ako.
E ako ana ngā tamariki i roto i tētahi taiao mārie e manaaki ana i a rātou. Kei te tino mōhio tētahi ki tētahi. Ka āta whakarite ngā kaimahi kia whakaatu ai ngā tuākana i tō rātou manaakitanga me tō rātou whakaaro nui ki ngā tēina. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā tamariki ki te taunekeneke mā te whakaute me te whakaaro nui o tētahi ki tētahi. Ka whakatauira te kuia i ngā uaratanga me ngā mātāpono e poipoi ana i te manaaki, te tiaki, me te aroha anō hoki mō ngā tamariki. He mauritau te āhua o ngā tamariki i roto i ā rātou akoranga.
Kua rerekē haere ngā tūnga kaimahi, ā, nā tēnei, kua whakarato te kuia i te tino aronga ki ngā kaimahi hou i roto i te hōtaka akoranga o ia rā, o ia wiki hoki mō ngā tamariki. E hāpaitia ana ngā kaimahi e te kuia, puta noa i te rā kia pai ai te rere o ngā taumahi e whakapuakihia ana hei whakatairanga i te tūhura a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. Ko ētahi o ngā taumahi i whakamaheretia ai, ko ngā kaupapa i waho kia āhei ai ngā tamariki ki te taunekeneke me te pakirehua mō te taiao tūturu, māoriori hoki e noho nei rātou. E whai wāhi nui ana ngā tamariki ki ngā akoranga i āta whakamaheretia ai, ā, i āta whakaritea ai hoki.
Me titiro wawe ki te whakahaeretanga a te whānau i ngā whakaritenga ki te kōhanga reo. Ahakoa i whakamātau ētahi o ngā mema o mua ki te whakapakari ake i te whai wāhi mai o te whānau, kīhai tēnei tūāhuatanga i whakapūmautia. Me āta hoki atu ki ngā pūnaha i whakatakotohia ai ki te whakahaere i te tari. He uaua te toro atu ki ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi. Kāhore he whai wāhitanga mō ngā kaimahi ki te whakapā atu ki te whakawhanaketanga ngaio, hei whakatairanga ake i ā rātou mahi ki te taha o ngā tamariki. Kāhore he mahere rautaki e pā ana ki tēnei wā. Ko tētahi āwangawanga, ko te rōnaki tonutanga o te kōhanga reo hei te pae tawhiti. He uaua te kite i ngā meneti a te whānau, i ngā tuhinga hoki e tika ana, ā, e tohu ana tēnei i te kore whakatutukitanga o te aromātai o roto. Ko te rahi ake o ngā utu i ngā pūtea tētahi atu āwangawanga e āta tohu ana me wawe te panoni a te whānau i ā rātou mahi ki te whakahaere i tō rātou kōhanga reo.
E pā tōraro ana ētahi āhuatanga i te kōhanga reo ki te hauora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki. Kua tae ki te wā, kia whakatutukihia e te whānau ngā take e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru, hei painga mō ngā tamariki. Kāhore he tuhinga e tohu ana i te tū auau o ngā akoako hōneatanga inā he ahi, he rū whenua rānei. Kāhore i ngā kaimahi o te kōhanga reo i tēnei wā ā rātou tiwhikete whakaora whāwhai. Ko te kuia anake e mau tiwhikete ana ki te taraiwa i ngā wēne o te kōhanga reo. Nā tēnei tūāhuatanga, he nui āna mahi ki te āta whakarite kia haumaru ai te taenga mai o ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo, me tā rātou hokinga anō hoki ki ō rātou kāinga.
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 te wā o te arotake, i tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā wāhanga kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture. Kia tutukihia ai e te whānau ā rātou herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Oho Mata Kamo Kamo o Korongata i roto ngā tau e rua.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Oho Mata Kamo Kamo o Korongata is located in Bridge Pā, south of Hastings. The previous ERO review highlighted the need to improve whanau involvement and participation in all areas of the kōhanga reo. This still requires significant attention and has impacted on the quality of provision for children and whānau.
Children are emerging as confident speakers of te reo Māori.
Children enjoy hearing te reo Māori being spoken by the kuia and kaimahi. Kaimahi ensure children have easy access to a range of resources to support their language learning. The indoor surrounds are rich in displays including symbols, atua Maori images and stories. Kaimahi support children every day to share and celebrate their pepeha with whānau. An important part of the programme is karakia. Children learn language patterns as they recite karakia and sing himene. Kaimahi encourage those children who are more confident to respond in te reo Maori using short phrases or words. Children are developing as early learners of te reo Māori.
Children participate in learning where connections are made to the natural environment and their marae. Kaimahi support children’s learning by providing stories, terms and kupu relevant to their learning on the marae. Kaimahi support children to learn about the ancestral significance of the area. The maara kai is a focus of the learning programme. Kaimahi ensure children have access to resources that enhance their appreciation of and awareness of the mana of the whenua. Children are active explorers of their learning environments.
Children learn in a calm and caring environment. They know each other well. Kaimahi ensure that tuākana show care and concern for the tēina. Kaimahi encourage children to interact with respect and consideration towards each other. The kuia models the values and principles that foster manaaki, tiaki and aroha for children. Children appear secure in their learning.
With changes to kaimahi, the kuia provides strong direction to new kaimahi with the daily and weekly learning programme for children. Kaimahi are supported by the kuia throughout the day for smooth delivery of activities that promote te reo Maori exploration for children. Planned activities include the outdoors where children can interact and inquire about the physical and natural worlds around them. Children enjoy learning that is well planned and organised.
Whānau management of the operations of the kōhanga reo requires urgent attention. While there were attempts by former members to strengthen whanau involvement this has not been sustained. The administration systems in place need to be revisited. Personnel management documents are difficult to locate. Kaimahi do not have opportunities to access professional development to enhance their practices with children. There is no current strategic plan. Long term sustainability of the kōhanga reo is a concern. Difficulty in locating whānau minutes and relevant records show that internal evaluation is not evident. Concerns about expenditure exceeding income further highlights the urgency for whanau to transform the way in which they manage their kōhanga reo.
Children’s health and safety is compromised while at kōhanga reo. It is time for whānau to address issues around health and safety for the children. There are no records of regular fire and earthquake drills. Current employees of the kōhanga reo do not hold current first aid certificates. There are no other certified drivers for the kōhanga reo vans other than the kuia-kaiako. This puts a lot of pressure on her to ensure children arrive at kōhanga reo and back home safely.
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:
ERO identified areas of non-compliance. In order for the kōhanga reo whānau to meet compliance requirements they need to:
establish an ongoing process of internal evaluation to help maintain and improve the quality of practice for children
[Regulation 47 (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; GMA6 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
take all reasonable steps to provide staff employed or engaged in the service with adequate and relevant job descriptions, individual employment contracts and professional support, professional development opportunities, and resources
[Regulation 47 (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; GMA1-12 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
adults providing education and care are familiar with relevant emergency drills and regularly carry these out with children, and maintain records
[R46 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; HS 8, 12 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ensure there is an adult present always for children attending (or part thereof) that holds a current First Aid qualification gained from a New Zealand Qualifications Authority accredited first aid training provider.
[R46 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; HS 25 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
That the kōhanga reo whanau work alongside their purapura rep and TKRNT to address all matters raised in ERO’s key next steps of this report.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngā Oho Mata Kamo Kamo o Korongata will be within two years.
