E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whakakotahitanga ki Taradale, ki Ahuriri. Ka noho rātou me Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Maara o Tāwhao, ki te wāhi kotahi. Kua āta paiheretia te whānau ki te tino mātāpono ārahi e mea ana, “Kia kotahi ai te kōkiri hei whānau”. He tino hononga ō te kōhanga reo ki te Hāhi Rātana.
Kei te tūmāia, kei te mauritau ngā mokopuna, ā, kua whai hononga hoki hei whānau, mā roto mai i tētahi kōhanga reo e whakakoia ana i te mana o tō rātou reo me te hītori o Ngāti Kahungunu.
Ka whai wāhi nui ngā mokopuna ki ngā akoranga e āta poipoi ana i tō rātou tuakiri. He mātau ngā kaimahi hei pou ārahi, ā, ka āta waihanga rātou i te hōtaka akoranga kia kitea ai, kia rangona ai e ngā mokopuna ngā tikanga, ngā tohu whenua o te takiwā, te hītori o Kahungunu, ngā tīpuna, me ā rātou kōrero tuku iho. Kua waihangatia e ngā mokopuna ā rātou ake pukapuka paki kōrero e āta whakatinana ana i ngā atua Māori. Ka pupū ake ēnei i ngā ngākau nuitanga o ngā mokopuna, ā, ka whakapakari hoki i ngā hononga ki ngā whānau, ki waenga tonu i a rātou anō, ki te ao tūroa hoki. E ākina ana te whakapuaki mai a ngā tuākana i ā rātou paki kōrero, ā, he pakari tā rātou whakatinana i ngā pūmanawa ārahi hei tauira mō ngā tēina. Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā hononga me ngā taunekeneke e whai pūtake ana, me te ahu mai o ērā i te whanaungatanga. Kei te pakari, kei te tau hoki ki ngā mokopuna tō rātou mana āhua ake, mā roto mai i tētahi kōhanga reo e whakanui ana i te reo, ā, i ngā tikanga hoki o Ngāti Kahungunu.
Kua whakatakotohia ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te whakamahere, te aromātai, me te aromatawai. E kitea ana ngā whāinga me ngā wawata o te whānau mō ā rātou mokopuna, puta noa i ngā mahere e ahu mai ana i Te Whāriki o Te Kōhanga Reo. Kua whakatakotohia ngā aromatawai ki ngā kōnae me ngā mātai tamaiti, ā, ka arotahi ki te whakapapa o te mokopuna, ki ngā hononga o te whānau, me te whakawhanaketanga torowhānui mā ‘Te Whare Tapawhā’. He māmā noa ki te whānau te whakapā atu, ā, e āhei ana ki te tuku kōrerorero ki ngā pūkete aromatawai a ā rātou ake tamariki. Kua whakatakotohia ngā whakaritenga aromātai. Ka tuhi ngā kaimahi i ngā whakaaro huritao me ngā aromātai e pā ana ki ngā mokopuna me te hōtaka, ā, ka whai wāhi ērā ki ngā whakarerekētanga ka whakatutukihia e rātou i ngā wā e tika ana ki te whakapai ake. Ko ngā matea o ngā Mokopuna Uenuku e poipoia ana mā te whakapā atu ki te tautoko ako ngaio o ngā ratonga matua o te mātauranga me te hauora, ā, ko te tikanga whakaaro “kia kotahi ai te kōkiri hei whānau” e whai wāhi ana ki te whakatinanatanga o te aronga whakakotahi nei. E whakatairangatia ana te ako a ngā mokopuna, mā tētahi hōtaka akoranga e aro nui ana ki a rātou.
He pai te whakamahere i te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. He hou ētahi o ngā whānau, he mātau kē ētahi atu ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo, ā, he pai te mahi ngātahi ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga katoa o ngā whakahaeretanga. Kei te tūtohinga ngā aratohu mārama mō te whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Ka whakamahia Te Ara Tūāpae hei whakamōhio i ngā mahere rautaki, ā, kei te mahere ā-tau ngā tino aratohu mō te aroturukitanga o ngā mahi whakahaere, puta noa i te tau. He komiti matua, ā, ka mahi tahi me ngā kaimahi mō ngā whakahaeretanga o ia rā, ā, ka kawe hoki i te katoa o ngā kaupapa kaimahi, tae atu k i ngā arohaehae o ia tau. Ka whakamōhio ngā arohaehae i ngā whāinga ako ngaio me ngā whāinga ako whaiaro. Kua āta tautuhia ngā whāinga me ngā wawata o te whānau mō te whakawhanaketanga o te kōhanga reo mō meāke nei. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā ngā tukanga whakahaere me ngā tukanga whakarite e kawea ana hei painga mō rātou.

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 reports provide important information for hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whakakotahitanga is located in Taradale, Napier. They share the site with Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Maara o Tāwhao. “Kia kotahi ai te kokiri hei whānau” is a strong guiding principle that binds whānau. The kōhanga reo has strong connections to Te Haahi Rātana.
Mokopuna are confident, secure and connected as whanau in a kōhanga reo that affirms the importance of their reo and Ngati Kahungunu history.
Mokopuna are engaged in learning where their identity is nurtured. Kaimahi are competent role models who deliberately craft a learning programme that exposes mokopuna to tikanga and local landmarks, Kahungunū history, tipuna and their stories. Mokopuna have created their own story books that bring atua Māori to life. These emerge from mokopuna interests and strengthens connections to whānau, each other, and the natural world. Tuākana are encouraged to share their stories where they model confidently, leadership qualities for their teina. Kaimahi encourage meaningful relationships and interactions that are based on whanaungatanga. Mokopuna are secure and aware of their uniqueness, in a kōhanga reo that celebrates te reo and Kahungunū tikanga.
Planning, evaluation, and assessment processes are in place. Whanau goals and aspirations for their mokopuna are seen throughout the planning which is based upon Te Whāriki o Te Kōhanga Reo. Assessments are contained in konae and matai tamaiti that focus on mokopuna whakapapa, whanau connections and their holistic development through ‘Te Whare Tapawhā’. Whānau have easy access and can comment on their child’s assessment profiles. Evaluation practices are in place. Kaimahi document reflections and evaluations about mokopuna and the programme, that assist them to make improvements if needed. Mokopuna Ūenuku (inclusion) needs are supported by accessing professional learning support from key educational and health providers, the philosophy of “kia kotahi ai te kōkiri hei whānau” helps to encapsulate this inclusive approach. Mokopuna learning is enhanced by a responsive learning programme.
Management of the kōhanga reo is well planned. There is a blend of experienced and new whānau to the kōhanga reo kaupapa who work well together to manage all areas of operations. The Tūtohinga provides clear guidelines for the management of the kōhanga reo. Te Ara Tūāpae is used to inform strategic planning while the annual plan provides clear guidelines for monitoring operational tasks throughout the year. There is an executive kōmiti, who work closely with kaimahi around day-to-day operations and with all personnel matters including annual appraisals. The appraisals inform professional and personal learning goals. Whanau goals and aspirations for the future development of the kōhanga reo are clearly identified. Mokopuna benefit from management and operations processes that works in their best interest.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
emotional safety including positive guidance and child protection
physical safety including supervision, sleep procedures, accidents, medication, excursion policy and procedures
suitable staffing including appropriate qualifications, police vetting, ratios
emergency procedures and practices for earthquakes, fire, flood, tsunami and pandemic.
ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau recommend that the whānau continue with their evaluation and improvement focus, to develop the already strong practices, around enhancing learning opportunities for mokopuna.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whakakotahitanga ki te hapori o Clive, ki waenga i ngā tāone o Ahuriri me Heretaunga. Ko tā te whānau tirohanga, kia whakatōngia ki te kaupapa Māori, ā, kia mārō anō hoki tō rātou noho pūmau ki tō rātou kōhanga reo. I hūnuku te whānau ki tētahi whare tīhokahoka, kia oti rā anō ngā mahi whakahouanga ki tō rātou whare tūturu. Ākuanei rātou hoki atu ai ki tō rātou whare i whakahoungia ai i Heretaunga.
Kei te tūmāia, kei te mauritau, kei te harikoa hoki ngā tamariki ki tō rātou kōhanga reo.
E ako ana ngā tamariki i te reo Māori ki tētahi taiao whakaongaonga e hāpai ana i a rātou. Ka waihanga ngā kaimahi i tētahi wāhi ako e tahuri ana i te kōhanga reo ki tētahi atamira whakaako e whakamīharo ana, ā, e whakapuaki ana i te auaha me te whakaari. Ka whakamau ngā kaimahi i ngā kākahu kia rite ai ō rātou āhua ki ngā kiripuaki o te kaupapa o te wiki, ā, ka kapo tangetange tonu i te hihiri me te aronga nui o ngā tamariki. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te reo Māori mā ngā huarahi e hāpai ana i te noho āhuru me te ngākau titikaha o ngā tamariki, i a rātou e whai wāhi atu ana hei ākonga o te reo. Kei te tākare te whai wāhi nui o ngā tamariki ki ngā akoranga reo pārekareka e whakangahau ana i a rātou. Ka āta whakatakoto haere ngā kaimahi i ngā mahere, hei whakawhanake i ngā pūkenga reo o ngā tamariki, ā, he pai tā rātou whakamahinga i ngā pukapuka me ngā waiata ki te whakatairanga ake i te ako. Ka āta whakamahia hoki e ngā kaimahi ngā wā whāriki me ngā wā whakaako ka pupū ake puta noa i te rā, hei whakahouanga i ngā akoranga, ā, hei whakatō anō hoki i ngā akoranga reo hou. He mātātoa te whai wāhi atu a ngā pēpi ki ngā akoranga, ki te taha o ngā tuākana. E tino whakatutukihia ana ō rātou matea e ngā kaimahi, ā, e hāpai ana rātou i ngā pēpi ki te āta taunekeneke atu ki ngā tuākana i ia te wā. Ka whakamahi ngā pēpi i ngā mahi ā-ringa hei tohu i tō rātou māramatanga ki te reo Māori. E tohu ana te taiao ako i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo kaupapa i whakatutukihia ai e ngā tamariki, puta noa i te tau. E whanake ana ngā tamariki hei ākonga tūmāia, hei ākonga mātātoa hoki o te reo Māori.
E ahu mai ana ngā wheako o ngā tamariki i te whanaungatanga me te whakapapa. He nui ngā tūmanako o te whānau kia mōhio ngā tamariki ki a rātou anō, ā, ki ō rātou tūrangawaewae hoki. He hononga ā-whakapapa tō te nuinga o ngā whānau ki a Ngāti Kahungunu. He auaha ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi ki te whakatō i te mōhiotanga ki ngā kōrero whakahirahira mō ngā tino pou whenua o te iwi. Ka āta tīpako atu i ngā whakataukī, ā, he huarahi whai hua te mahi nei kia whai wāhi nui ngā tamariki ki ngā akoranga e pā ana ki ō rātou hononga. Ka whakauru ngā kaimahi i ngā pepeha o ngā tamariki hei āhuatanga tonu o ngā mahi ki te whakarite me te whakahaere i ngā taumahi ako. E hāpai ana ngā tamariki ki te whakarongo, te tohu, me te whakahua anō hoki i ō rātou ake maunga. E hāpaitia ana te ako a ngā pēpi i ō rātou whakapapa, ā, ka okookotia e ngā kaimahi i a rātou e hāpaitia ana ki te whakapuaki i ō rātou mōhiotanga ki ō rātou tuakiri. Ko aua taunekeneke ki waenga i ngā pēpi me ngā kaimahi e poipoi ana anō hoki i te aronga toi whenuatanga ki te kōhanga reo. He mātātoa te ako a ngā tamariki i ō rātou whakapapa me ō rātou hononga ki ētahi atu.
Ka whai hononga manaaki ngā tamariki ki ō rātou hoa me ngā pakeke. Ka arotahi ngā kaimahi kia tau, kia harikoa hoki ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo. E ākina ana te mahi pai o ngā tuākana ki te taha o ō rātou tēina, ā, e mōhio ana hoki rātou me pēhea te āta taunekeneke atu ki ngā pēpi. Ka aro nui hoki ngā kaimahi ki te tautāwhi me te whakaahuru i ngā tamariki e māharahara ana, e hikirangi ana rānei. Inā ka pupū ake te tautohetohe, ka huri aua wā hei whai wāhitanga kē mō ngā tamariki ki te ako me pēhea te whakaute me te whakaatu anō hoki i te manaaki tangata. Ka kitea ki ngā tamariki tō rātou manaakitanga, tō rātou aroha hoki ki ētahi atu i te kōhanga reo.
E ako ana ngā tamariki tuākana ki te kawe ake i te kōkiritanga o tā rātou ako. Kua whakamaheretia ētahi wāhanga mō ngā taumahi tino pāhekoheko, me ētahi atu wāhanga hoki mō te tamaiti ki te kōkiri i a ia anō, me te whiriwhiri ki te tākaro takitahi, takirōpū rānei. Kua āta whakatakotohia ngā mahinga, ā, e māramahia ana e ngā tamariki. He taunga, he aronga toi whenuatanga hoki ka pupū ake ki ngā tamariki me ngā pēpi i aua mahinga. Ko te tangi a te pere e tohu ana i te wā kia tīmatahia te whakapaipai whare a ngā tamariki, me te noho tahi ki te whāriki. He auaha te whakamahinga a ngā kaimahi i ngā waiata tawhito kia tau ai ngā tamariki, mā te kori tinana me ngā ngohe whakangā. Ka ako ngā tamariki i ngā pūkenga me ngā pūmanawa kia kōkirihia ai e rātou ō rātou ake huarahi ako.
Ko te wāhi o waho tētahi āhuatanga motuhake o tēnei kōhanga reo, ā, he nui ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te tūhura haere i ngā tini āhuatanga o tō rātou taiao māoriori. Ko te māra kai tētahi aronga matua o ngā akoranga, ā, e poipoi ana i te pākiki me te ngākau nui o ngā tamariki i a rātou e rapu ana i ngā hua, ngā noke, me ētahi atu tūmomo ngārara whakamīharo. Ko te kaupapa nō nā tata tonu nei i hāngai ai ki a Matariki, ā, e whakanui tonuhia ana e ngā tamariki i a rātou e waiata ana i ā rātou tino waiata, ā, e whakawhānui ana hoki i tō rātou mōhiotanga ki te ao tūturu me te ao tūroa. Ka whakarite te whānau me ngā kaimahi i ngā haerenga me ngā tūmomo whai wāhitanga mō ngā tamariki ki te uru atu ki ngā kaupapa o te rohe me te motu. He mātātoa, he mātau hoki te tūhura haere a ngā tamariki i tō rātou taiao.
Kua āta whakatakotohia ngā whakaritenga ki te whakamahere i te hōtaka. Ka whai wāhi atu ki ngā mahere, ko ngā whakaaro me ngā hua kōrero o ngā mema o te whānau. Ka āta tuitui haere ngā kaimahi i aua whakaaro ki tētahi angamahi i āta whakatakotohia ai, he māmā anō hoki te whai atu, ā, e mau ana i ngā ariā matua e hāpai ana i te ako a ā rātou tamariki, me ō rātou whakawhanaketanga. Ka hāngai hoki tēnei ki te tuhinga o ngā whāinga, ngā putanga ako, ngā akoranga hou o te reo, me te whānuitanga anō hoki o ngā tūmomo taumahi me ngā tūmomo rauemi ka whakahihiri, ka kapo atu hoki i te taha pākiki o ngā tamariki.
Ka whai pūtake, ka whai pānga anō hoki ngā aromatawai. Ka whakatakoto haere ngā kaimahi i te ahu whakamua o te ako, ngā tūmomo ngākau nuitanga e pupū ake ana i ia tamaiti, me ō rātou huarahi auaha, muramura hoki ki te akiaki me te whakawhānui i te ako. Ka kitea ki ngā kōrero urupare a ngā mātua, tā rātou aro nui ki te ako a ā rātou tamariki, me ō rātou whakawhanaketanga.
Ka hāngai te aromātai hōtaka ki te kounga o te hōtaka, ngā putanga ki ngā tamariki, me ngā whakapaitanga hei whai atu i roto i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka kitea ki ngā kōrerorero i tuhia ai, ko te matawhānui o te aronga ki ngā putanga ki ngā tamariki, me ngā huarahi ka whāia e ngā kaimahi kia whiwhi ai ngā tamariki i tētahi hōtaka akoranga e āta whakamaheretia ana. E mōhiotia ana e te takiwā whānui te kounga o ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi i te kōhanga reo nei, heoi, e tautoko ana, e ārahi ana hoki rātou i ngā whānau o ētahi atu kōhanga reo.
Kua whakahāngaitia ngā mahere rautaki me ngā mahere ā-tau ki Ngā Pou e Whā o Te Kōhanga Reo. He māmā, he mārama hoki te tirohanga me ngā whāinga e whakapuakihia ana e te whānau, ā, ka kitea hoki te tino ngākau nuitanga ki te mātauranga kaupapa Māori. Ka kōrero te nuinga o ngā mātua i te reo Māori, ā, kua whai mātauranga hoki rātou i ngā horopaki Māori. Ko tō rātou tākare, ko te teitei hoki o ō rātou tūmanako e āta whakatau ana i te poipoi o te waiora o ngā tamariki me te whānau. Ka āta aroturukitia ngā mahi arotake whaiaro, he mārama hoki, ā, ka whakapuakihia ki te taha o te whānau. Ka āta tautokona te whakapūmau, te whakatairanga hoki a ngā kaimahi i ō rātou pūkenga ki te whakaako i ngā tamariki, me te mahi ki ō rātou taha. E tino tautokona ana e te whānau te whakawhanaketanga ngaio o ngā kaimahi. Ka whai wāhi atu hoki ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki te hāpai i ngā mahi a tō rātou purapura ki te whakapakari i ngā mahi whakahaere a ngā whānau o ngā kōhanga reo me te ako a ngā tamariki.
Ko te hauora, te haumaru, me te waiora o ngā tamariki tētahi aronga matua a te whānau. Kua āta whakatakotohia ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga, ngā tūranga me ngā kawenga mahi, me te aronga anō hoki o ngā aratohu, hei whakapūmau i te whai huatanga o ngā mahi whakahaere me ngā mahi kāwana i te kōhanga reo. E whakatutukihia ana ngā mahi whakahaere tari ki te taumata teitei. Ko tā rātou tikanga whakaaro e mea ana, ‘Kia kotahi ai te kōkiri hei whānau’, ā, e ārahi ana tēnei i ō rātou wawata mō ngā akoranga i te kōhanga reo, ka kitea anō hoki ki te āhua o tā rātou mātātoa ki te whai wāhi nui me te mahi ngātahi. He tino kaha te tae ā-tinana atu, te whai wāhi atu hoki a te whānau ki ngā hui. E noho pūmau ana ngā mātua ki te whakapeto ngoi hei āta tautoko mārika i ngā tamariki me ngā kaimahi ki te kōhanga reo.
Kua noho te kōhanga reo ki tētahi whare tīhokahoka, i a rātou e whakatūturu ana i tētahi wāhi pūmau. Kua āta whakarite rātou i tō rātou āheinga ki te whakatutuki i ngā herenga ā-ture ki tō rātou wāhi pūmau, ā, tāpiri atu ki tēnā, kua tāutuhia e te whānau me ngā kaimahi, he mea nui anō hoki te whakapūmau tonu i te taumata teitei o ngā mahi whakaako, i ngā mahi whakahaere hoki a te whānau, i a rātou e whakariterite ana ki te hūnuku whare.
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.
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whakakotahitanga i roto i te whā o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whakakotahitanga is situated in the community of Clive, between Napier and Hastings. The vision of the whānau is to be grounded in kaupapa Māori and be strong in their commitment to their kōhanga reo. The whānau moved into temporary premises while renovations are completed to their permanent site. They are about to return to their newly refurbished premises in Hastings.
Tamariki are confident, settled and happy in their kōhanga reo.
Tamariki learn te reo Māori in a supportive and stimulating environment. Kaimahi create a learning space that turns the kōhanga reo into a magical, creative and dramatic stage for learning. Kaimahi dress up as characters from the kaupapa of the week and immediately catch the excitement and attention of tamariki. Kaimahi use te reo Māori in ways that encourage tamariki to feel safe and confident as they participate as learners of language. Tamariki enthusiastically participate in language learning that is fun and enjoyable. Kaimahi are very deliberate as they plan to develop the language skills of tamariki and use books and waiata well to embellish learning. Mat time and other teachable moments during the day are used well by kaimahi to revise and embed new language learning. Pēpi are actively involved in learning with tuakana. Their needs are well met by kaimahi who also enable pēpi to regularly interact with tuakana. Pēpi use hand actions to show their understanding of te reo Māori. The learning environment reflects the broad range of kaupapa that tamariki have experienced during the year. Tamariki are developing as confident and active learners of te reo Māori.
Tamariki experiences are strongly based on whanaungatanga and whakapapa. The whānau has high expectations for tamariki to know who they are and where they belong. Most whānau have whakapapa connections to Ngāti Kahungunu. Kaimahi use innovative ways to embed knowledge of important stories about significant iwi landmarks. The selective use of whakataukī provides a useful method for engaging tamariki in learning about their connections. Kaimahi incorporate the pepeha of tamariki as part of how learning activities are organised and managed. Tamariki are encouraged to listen, recognise and recall their respective maunga. Pēpi are supported to learn about their whakapapa and are held in the arms of kamahi as they are encouraged to show their knowledge of who they are. These interactions between pēpi and kaimahi foster their feelings of belonging to the kōhanga reo. Tamariki are actively learning about their whakapapa and connections to others.
Tamariki build caring relationships with their peers and with adults. Kaimahi focus on ensuring tamariki are settled and happy in the kōhanga reo. Tuakana are encouraged to work positively with teina and know how to interact well with pēpi. Kaimahi give time to comfort and reassure tamariki who may be upset or appear unsettled. Any disputes that arise are opportunities for tamariki to learn how to respect and demonstrate care for others. Tamariki show care and aroha for others in the kōhanga reo.
Older tamariki are learning to take greater responsibility for their learning. There are planned periods of highly interactive activities, as well as times for tamariki to take time out and choose to play independently or with others. Routines are well established and understood by tamariki. These routines provide stability and a feeling of belonging for tamariki and pēpi. The ringing of the bell is used to indicate when tamariki should begin to tidy the whare and gather on the mat. Kaimahi make imaginative use of waiata tawhito to settle tamariki through physical exercise and focused breathing exercises. Tamariki learn skills and qualities to become independent learners.
The outdoor area is a significant feature of this kōhanga reo and provides exciting opportunities for tamariki to explore aspects of their natural environment. The māra kai is a focal point for learning which fosters the curiosity and interest of tamariki as they search for kai, worms and other fascinating insects. The recent kaupapa focus on Matariki continues to be celebrated as tamariki sing their favourite waiata and extend their knowledge of the physical and natural worlds. The whānau and kaimahi organise excursions and other opportunities for tamariki to participate in regional and national events. Tamariki are active and knowledgeable explorers of their environment.
Programme planning practices are well established. Planning includes the ideas and contributions from whānau members. Kaimahi skilfully weave those ideas into a well-presented framework that is easy to follow and contains the essential elements to support the learning and development of their tamariki. This includes documenting goals, learning outcomes, new language learning, and a range of activities and resources to excite and capture the curiosity of tamariki.
Assessment is purposeful and relevant. Kaimahi maintain records of learning progress and emerging interests for individual tamaiti, and how they will encourage and extend learning in a variety of innovative and colourful ways. The feedback from parents reflects their high interest in the learning and development of tamariki.
Programme evaluation focuses on the quality of the programme, outcomes for tamariki and improvements to be made to the learning programme. Documented discussions attest to the comprehensive focus on outcomes for tamariki and how kaimahi can ensure tamariki receive a well-planned learning programme. The quality of practice by the kaimahi in the kōhanga reo has been recognised locally and they are providing support and guidance to whānau in other kōhanga reo.
Strategic and annual planning is aligned to Ngā Pou e Whā o Te Kōhanga Reo. The vision and goals adopted by the whānau are simple, clear and reflect a strong commitment to kaupapa Māori education. Most parents are speakers of te reo Māori and have been educated in Māori settings. Their enthusiasm and high expectations ensure the wellbeing of tamariki and whānau is fostered. Self review practices are well monitored, transparent and shared with whānau. Kaimahi are well supported to maintain and improve skills for teaching and working with tamariki. Professional development for kaimahi is well supported by the whānau. Kaimahi and whānau are also involved in supporting their purapura to strengthen whānau management and learning for tamariki.
The health, safety and wellbeing of tamariki is a priority for whānau. There are policies and procedures, defined roles and responsibilities, and focussed guidelines to maintain efficient management and governance of the kōhanga reo. The administration work is completed to a high standard. The philosophy of Kia kotahi ai te kōkiri hei whānau guides their aspirations for the learning of kōhanga reo and is reflected in how they actively engage and work together. There are high levels of whānau attendance and participation in hui. Parents are committed to giving time and effort to ensuring tamariki and kaimahi are well supported in the kōhanga reo.
The kōhanga reo has been located in temporary premises while they secured a permanent site. In addition to ensuring they can meet licensing requirements at their permanent site, the whānau and kaimahi have identified the importance of maintaining the high standard of teaching practice and whānau management as they relocate.
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 next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whakakotahitanga will be in four years.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whakakotahitanga ki Ahuriri, ki te rohe o Ngāti Kahungunu. Haere ai ngā mātua me ngā mema o te hapori o te kōhanga reo ki reira i ia te wā, ā, ka whai wāhi hoki ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo hei painga mō ā rātou tamariki. E noho pūmau ana te whānau ki te hāpai i ngā tamariki me te whānau whānui ki te ako me te whakamahi i te reo me ngā tikanga Māori.
He pēhea rawa te whakamahi a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori?
He pai te whakamahinga a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori, hei whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro ki waenga i a rātou anō, ki ngā pākeke hoki.
Ka kōrero ngā tamariki tuākana i te reo Māori ki waenga i a rātou anō, ki ngā mema hoki o te whānau ki te kōhanga reo. E ako ana ngā tamariki tēina i ngā kīanga māmā me ngā tohutohu māmā. Ka whai hua ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki te whakatauira i te reo Māori, ā, he tika anō hoki te aro atu a ngā tamariki ki te reo. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki ako reo e whai hua ana ki te taha o ngā tamariki. Ko tētahi o aua rautaki, ko te mahi whakaari, ā, ka hāpai tēnei i te ako a ngā tamariki i te marae me te whare tipuna. He pakari ngā tamariki ki te kōrero mō ētahi wāhanga matua o te whare nui. Ka pānui rātou ki ngā tamariki i ia te wā, ā, kei te whanake haere tō rātou ngākau nui ki te pukapuka. He pai te whakawhanaketanga o ngā tamariki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
He pākiki ngā tamariki, ka ngana ki te ako, ā, he pārekareka hoki ki a rātou te tūhura i tō rātou taiao. He whānui ngā tūmomo rauemi e noho wātea ana mā ngā tamariki. Ka whai ngā tamariki i ō rātou ake ngākau nuitanga, ā, ka haereere haere puta noa i te kōhanga reo, me te whiriwhiri i tēnā e hiahiatia ana e rātou hei kaupapa mahi. Ka akiaki, ka tautoko hoki te whānau i ngā tamariki ki te whakaaro pohewa me te mahi auaha. Ka mahi rātou ki te taha o ngā tamariki, ā, ka aro nui hoki ki ā rātou mahi. Ka ārahi ngā tamariki i ngā kēmu, ā, he pai tā rātou mahi ngātahi puta noa i te rā. He nui ngā rauemi ki te wāhi whakahihiri o waho mō rātou. Ka tino ngākau nui ngā tamariki ki te tākaro ki te rua onepū. He atawhai, he manaakitanga, he aroha hoki ki ngā taunekeneke me ngā hononga. He harikoa ngā tamariki ki te kōhanga reo.
Ka whakaratohia ki ngā tamariki ngā hōtaka akoranga i āta whakamaheretia ai. He matawhānui te whakamahere i te hōtaka. He mārama ngā hononga ki Te Whāriki. Ka āta arotahi ngā mahere ki te hāpai i te ako me te whakamahinga a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori.
Ka whai hua te whakamahinga o te aromātai hōtaka hei whakarato i te hōtaka akoranga e whakahihiri ana, e whakaongaonga ana hoki i ngā tamariki. Ka whai whakaaro ngā kaimahi ki ngā hua o te hōtaka akoranga me ngā tūmomo taumata mahi pea ka whāia tonuhia hei whakapai ake anō i ngā wheako akoranga a ngā tamariki. Kei ngā tamariki tētahi hōtaka i āta whakamaheretia ai, hei hāpai i tā rātou ako, tō rātou tupu anō hoki ki te kōrero i te reo Māori.
E mōhiotia ana, e whakatakotohia ana hoki e ngā kaimahi ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki te āheinga o ngā tamariki i roto i te reo Māori. Ka tuhia ngā kupu hou a ia tamaiti, me ngā kupu hoki e mōhio kētia ana e ia. Ko te angitu o ngā tamariki me tō rātou mōhiotanga hoki ki ngā akoranga ā-kaupapa ka aromatawaihia e ngā kaimahi. Ka whai wāhi atu hoki ngā mātua ki ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki te ahu whakamua a ā rātou ake tamariki, me ō rātou whakawhanaketanga.
He pai te whakamahi i te arohaehae hei whakahaere i te āhua mahi a ngā kaimahi. Ka whakaaro huritao ngā kaimahi mō ō rātou tūranga, ā, ka whakatakoto i ngā whāinga e tika ana hei whakawhanaketanga anō hoki mō meāke nei. Ka arotahi te arohaehae ki te whakapakari me te rōnaki i te mātau ki te reo Māori. Ka haere ngā kaimahi ki ngā whakangungu o te reo Māori, hei hāpai i a rātou ki te kōkiri i tō rātou āheinga i roto i te reo Māori.
Ka tautokona ngā tamariki me ngā mātua ki te ako i te reo Māori. Kua whakawhanakehia tētahi mahere rautaki hei whakatairanga ake i te matatau o ngā kaimahi, te whānau, me ngā tamariki ki te reo Māori. Tū ai ngā wānanga reo Māori i ia te wā, hei hāpai i ngā mātua me te hapori o te kōhanga reo ki te whakapakari i tō rātou āheinga i roto i te reo Māori. Haere ai hoki ngā mātua ki ngā kura reo o Ngāti Kahungunu. Ka ākina hoki rātou kia whai wāhi atu ki ngā kaupapa whakangungu a Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo.
Kāhore i te riterite ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te aromatawai. Ahakoa ka aroturuki haere ētahi o ngā kaimahi i te ahunga whakamua a ngā tamariki i roto i te roanga o te wā, kāhore e pēnei ana mō ngā tamariki katoa. Kāhore anō ngā kaimahi kia whakawhanake i tētahi aronga nahanaha ki te whakaemi me te whakatakoto i ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki te ahunga whakamua a ia tamaiti, me tō rātou whakawhanaketanga.
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.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whakakotahitanga ki Ahuriri. Ka whakamahere nahanaha te whānau o te kōhanga reo hei whakatairanga, hei hāpai, hei whakanui hoki i te reo Māori. E ako ana ngā tamariki i te reo Māori i te wā e tika ana mā ia tamaiti, ā, kei te tupu haere te tūmāia o ētahi. He pākiki ngā tamariki, ka ngana ki te ako, ā, he pārekareka hoki ki a rātou te tūhura i tō rātou taiao ako.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whakakotahitanga i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whakakotahitanga is in Napier, in the Ngāti Kahungunu region. Parents and members of the kōhanga reo community attend regularly and participate in managing the kōhanga reo in the interests of their children. The whānau is committed to supporting both children and the wider whānau to learn and to use te reo and tikanga Māori.
Children use te reo Māori well to communicate with each other and with adults.
Older children speak te reo Māori to each other and to the whānau members at kōhanga reo. Younger children are learning simple phrases and instructions. Staff and whānau effectively model te reo Māori language and children respond appropriately. Staff use effective language learning strategies with children. These include mahi whakaari which support children to learn about the marae and whare tipuna. Children confidently talk about the key parts of a wharenui. Children are read to regularly and are developing an interest in books. Children are developing well as te reo Māori speakers.
Children are inquisitive, engaged in learning and enjoy exploring their environment. A wide range of resources are available for children. Children follow their interests and move freely around the kōhanga reo making choices about what they will do. Whānau encourage and support children to be imaginative and creative. They work alongside children and take a keen interest in their work. Children lead games and play well together throughout the day. They are provided with a well resourced and engaging outdoor area. Children especially enjoy playing in the sandpit. Interactions and relationships are warm, caring and loving. Children are happy at kōhanga reo.
Children are provided with well planned programmes of learning. Programme planning is comprehensive. There are clear links made to Te Whāriki. Planning focuses clearly on supporting children to learn and use te reo Māori.
Programme evaluation is used effectively to provide an interesting and stimulating learning programme for children. Staff consider the positives of the learning programme and the possible next steps to improve learning experiences for children. Children have a well planned programme to help them to learn and grow as speakers of te reo Māori.
Staff know about and document information about children’s capability in te reo Māori. New and known vocabulary is recorded for each child. Children’s success and knowledge about kaupapa learning is also assessment by staff. Parents contribute information about their child’s progress and development.
Appraisal is used well to manage staff performance. Staff members reflect on their role and set appropriate goals for their future development. Appraisal is focussed on building and sustaining te reo Māori proficiency. Staff members attend te reo Māori training to support them to advance their capability in te reo Māori.
Children and parents are supported to learn te reo Māori. A strategic plan has been developed to raise the te reo Māori fluency of staff, whānau and children. Regular te reo Māori wānanga are held to support parents and the kōhanga reo community to build their capability in te reo Māori. Parents attend Ngāti Kahungunu kura reo. They are also encouraged to participate in Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust courses.
Assessment practices are inconsistent. While some staff monitor children’s progress well over time, this does not occur for all children. Staff are yet to develop a systematic approach to gathering and recording information about each child’s progress and development.
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.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whakakotahitanga is in Napier. The kōhanga reo whānau plans strategically to promote, support and celebrate te reo Māori. Children are learning te reo Māori at their own pace and some are growing in confidence. Children are inquisitive, engaged in learning and enjoy exploring their learning environment.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whakakotahitanga will be in three years.
