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.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ngahere o Te Rangimārie ki te marae o Wainuiōmata, ki Wainuiōmata. Ka ahu mai ngā whānau i ngā hapū maha me ngā iwi maha, ā, kua paiheretia e tō rātou hapori. Ko tā rātou tirohanga, ō rātou mātāpono, me ō rātou uara te tino tūāpapa mō te ako a ngā mokopuna i te reo Māori mā te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo.
Ka whakapuaki ngā mokopuna i tō rātou māramatanga ki te tuakiritanga mā te whai wāhi atu ki ngā taumahi e tautāwhi ana i tō rātou tuakiri motuhake.
Ka ngākau nui ngā mokopuna ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā wheako ako e poipoi ana, e whakakoia ana hoki i tō rātou tuakiri. Ka whakatauira ngā kaimahi i te reo Māori, ā, ka whakamahi i te tangongitanga o ngā rautaki ki te whakatairanga i te ako i te reo, pērā i te reo āwhina, te reo kākā, me te reo tohutohu. E hāpaitia ana te tūhura a ngā mokopuna tuākana i ngā hanganga reo mā te ārahi i ngā karakia me ngā mihimihi, mā te taki hoki i ō rātou pepeha. Ka kitea te māramatanga o ngā tēina ki te āhua o ō rātou kanohi me tō rātou reo ā-tinana. Ko te manaakitanga te tūāpapa o ngā taunekeneke katoa, ā, ka whakaū i te noho matua o te manaaki me te whakaute ki ngā taunekeneke katoa. E whakatinana ana ngā kaimahi i ngā mātāpono o te aroha me te tiaki kia puāwai ai te atawhai me te tautoko ki ngā mokopuna katoa. Kua taunga rātou ki ngā matea ake me ngā pūkenga ake o ia mokopuna, ā, ka whakahāngai i ā rātou aronga hei whakamana i ngā mokopuna katoa. Ka whakatauira māhorahora ngā mokopuna tuākana i ngā uara o te aroha, te manaaki, me te whakaute, ā, ka ārahi, ka hāpai i ō rātou tēina i a rātou e tākaro tahi ana, e ako tahi ana hoki. Ka whakaatu ngā mokopuna i tō rātou ngākau nuitanga, mā te maha o ngā menemene me te katakata. I ngā wā katoa, e whakamihi ana, e whakanui ana, e whakamana ana hoki ngā kaimahi i ngā whakapuakitanga a ngā mokopuna. E whanake ana ngā mokopuna i te tino tuakiritanga me te tino aronga toi whenuatanga.
E ākina ana ngā mokopuna kia tūhura, kia whai māramatanga hoki rātou i tō rātou taiao. Kia taunga ngā ritenga mō ngā mokopuna puta noa i te rā, ka āta whakatau ngā kaimahi i te rere pai o ngā whakawhitinga ki waenga i ngā taumahi me ngā wāhi. Ka poipoi ngā wāhi ako o waho i te whakawhanaketanga o ngā pūkenga whakahoahoa o ngā mokopuna, i a rātou e whai wāhi tākare atu ana ki te tangongitanga o ngā taumahi. Kei te pērā hoki te āhua o ngā wāhi ako o roto, ā, he hihiri, he muramura hoki. Ko te toro atu ki te marae he tino whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te tūhono mārika ki te whenua me tō rātou tūrangawaewae. Kei te mauritau ngā mokopuna hei ākonga.
Ka mahi ngātahi ngā kaimahi i a rātou e whakamahere ana i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka toro atu ki te whānau ki te whai wāhi mai ki ngā mahi whakamahere. Kei te mahere ako ngā mahere ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, ā-wiki hoki. E whakatakoto ana ngā mahere i ngā putanga ako e hiahiatia ana, i te kiko o ngā kaupapa, i ngā rauemi, me ngā rautaki e hāpai ai i te whakatinanatanga o te hōtaka. Ka tuhia te ako a ngā mokopuna ki ngā kōnae mokopuna, ā, e whakatakoto ana hoki i ngā huarahi ako matawhānui o ia mokopuna. Whakapuakihia ai e ngā kaimahi te tupu me te whakawhanaketanga o ngā mokopuna ki te taha o te whānau i ia te wā. E whiwhi ana ngā mokopuna i tētahi hōtaka akoranga e aro nui ana ki ō rātou matea me ō rātou ngākau nuitanga.
Kua whakaritea ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau. E whakahaerehia ana te hanganga whakahaere i te kōhanga reo e te komiti ā-whānau, ā, ka āta whakatau i te whai huatanga o ngā mahi ki te whakahaere me te pūrongo i ngā take whakahaere. Kua tautuhia, kua whakaraupapahia e te whānau ō rātou whāinga me ō rātou wawata ki te mahere rautaki, ā, he mahere mahi anō hoki tā rātou e whakatakoto ana i ngā taipitopito kōrero kia tutuki pai ai ngā whāinga. Ka tautuhi te mahere ā-tau i ngā mahi whakahaere hei whakatutuki. Tū ai ngā hui i ia te wā, ā, he pai te taetae atu, te tuhi haere, me te whakahaeretanga o aua hui kia whai pūtake ai. He pai te whakahaeretanga i ngā take pūtea, ā, ka whakaratohia ngā pūrongo i ia te wā ki ngā hui. Kua whakatakotohia ngā kaupapa here matua me ngā tukanga matua e pā ana ki te hauora, te haumaru, me ngā kaimahi, kia aro nui ai ki te waiora o ngā mokopuna. Whakahaerehia ai, tuhia ai hoki ngā akoako auau e pā ana ki te rū whenua me te ahi, hei āta whakatau i te noho rite mō ngā wā ohotata. Ka whai wāhi ki te whakahaere kaimahi, ko te whakaū i ngā tuhinga pērā i ngā kirimina tuku mahi a ia kaimahi, ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi, me te whakatutukitanga o ngā tuhinga e arowhai ai i te haumaru o ngā kaimahi. Tāpiri atu ki tēnā, ka hāpai ngā arohaehae arotake whaiaro i te tupu me te whakawhanaketanga o ia kaimahi. E āta ārahi ana te tūtohinga, ā, e tohu ana i te aronga nahanaha e ahu mai ana i ngā mātāpono o Te Korowai. Ka whakatairangatia te waiora o ngā mokopuna, tā rātou ako anō hoki ki te papai o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
Me whakaōkawa i te aromātai hōtaka. Ahakoa ka hui ngā kaimahi i ia te wā ki te whakawhiti kōrero me te whakaaro huritao mō te hōtaka akoranga, kāhore aua kōrerotanga e tuhia ana. He uaua ki te tātari te whakatutukitanga o ētahi panonitanga ki te hōtaka i aua whakawhitinga kōrero. Kua tae ki te wā kia toro atu te whānau ki te tautoko mō ngā kaimahi, kia āhei ai rātou ki te whai māramatanga ake ki te pūtake me te tukanga o te aromātai hōtaka. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna mā te whakapiki ake i ngā mōhiotanga o ngā kaimahi ki te aromātai hōtaka mō te whakapai tonutanga.
Ka taea te māramatanga o te whānau ki te whakatinanatanga o te Children's Act 2014 te whakapakari ake, inarā ki ngā tūāhuatanga e pā ana ki te kaupare atu i te tūkino tamariki. He mārama te kaupapa here me ngā tukanga hei ārahi i ngā kaimahi me te whānau, ā, kei ngā kaimahi me te whānau ētahi māramatanga ki te Children’s Act 2014 me āna tukanga, heoi, e ai ki a rātou, ka whai hua hoki ki te whakapiki tonu i tō rātou mōhiotanga ki te ture me tā rātou kawenga ki te whakatutuki i ngā takohanga o te ture. Ka whai hua ake ngā mokopuna mā te aronga matua ki tō rātou haumaru me tō rātou waiora.
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 mahi tonu te whānau ki te taha o te tari ā-rohe o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo, ki te whakatutuki i ngā whakaritenga matua i tautuhia ai ki tēnei pūrongo kia whāia.

The Education Review Office (ERO) in collaboration with whānau, leaders, kaimahi and their communities develop evaluation insights that foster accountability and improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability. ERO’s reports provide important information for whānau, hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ngahere o Te Rangimārie is located on Te Marae o Wainuiomata in Wainuiomata. Whānau come from various hapū and iwi and are connected through their community. Their vision, principles and values by providing a solid foundation for mokopuna to learn te reo Māori through the kaupapa o te kōhanga reo.
Mokopuna express their understanding of tuakiritanga through engaging in activities that embrace their unique identity.
Mokopuna participate willingly in learning experiences that foster and affirm their identity. Kaimahi model te reo Māori, using a variety of techniques such as te reo āwhina, te reo kākā and te reo tohutohu to enhance language learning. Older mokopuna are supported to explore language structures through leading karakia, mihimihi and reciting pepeha. Tēina demonstrate their understanding through facial expressions and body language. The foundation for all interactions is manaakitanga, ensuring that care and respect are central to all interactions. Kaimahi embody the principles of aroha and tiaki creating a warm and supportive environment for all mokopuna. They are attuned to the unique needs and strengths of each mokopuna by adapting their approach to ensure all mokopuna are valued. Older mokopuna naturally model values of aroha, manaaki and whakaute, guiding and supporting their tēina in shared play and learning. Mokopuna express their enjoyment through frequent smiles and laughter. Kaimahi consistently praise, acknowledge, and affirm mokopuna contributions. Mokopuna are developing a strong sense of identity and belonging.
Mokopuna are encouraged to explore and make sense of their taiao. To maintain familiarity and consistency for mokopuna throughout the day, kaimahi ensure smooth transitions between activities and spaces. The outdoor learning spaces foster the development of mokopuna social skills while they eagerly participate in a range of activities. Equally inviting, the indoor learning spaces are vibrant and colourful. Visits to the marae offer meaningful opportunities for mokopuna to connect with the whenua, and their tūrangawaewae. Mokopuna are settled learners.
Kaimahi work collaboratively as they plan the learning programme. Whānau are invited to contribute to planning. The mahere ako consists of year, term and weekly plans. Planning includes desired learning outcomes, content, resources and strategies to support programme implementation. Mokopuna learning is documented in kōnae mokopuna and include detailed individual learning journeys. Kaimahi regularly share mokopuna growth and development with whānau. Mokopuna experience a learning programme that is responsive to their needs and interests.
Whānau whakahaere practices are in place. The whānau management structure of te kōhanga reo is overseen by the whānau komiti, which ensures efficient management and reporting of operational matters. Whānau have identified and outlined their goals and aspirations in their strategic plan and have an action plan that outlines the details to meeting these goals. An annual plan identifies operational tasks to completed. Regular hui are attended, recorded, and purposefully conducted. Financial matters are managed well with regular reports provided at each hui. Core health, safety and personnel policies and procedures are in place to prioritise the wellness of mokopuna. Regular earthquake and fire drills are conducted and documented to ensure emergency preparedness. Personnel management includes maintaining documentation such as individual employment agreements, position descriptions and completed kaimahi safety checks. Additionally, self-review appraisals support the growth and development of each kaimahi. The tūtohinga provides clear guidance and a planned approach grounded in the principles of Te Korowai. Mokopuna wellbeing and learning are promoted through good whānau whakahaere practices.
Programme evaluation requires formalising. While kaimahi meet regularly to discuss and reflect on the learning programme, these conversations are not documented. It is difficult to gauge whether any changes have been made to the programme because of these discussions. It is time for the whānau to seek support for kaimahi to increase their understanding of the purpose and process of programme evaluation. Mokopuna would benefit from increasing kaimahi knowledge of programme evaluation for ongoing improvement.
Whānau understanding of the implementation of the Children’s Act 2014, the prevention of child abuse can be strengthened. There is a clear policy and procedures to guide kaimahi and whānau, and kaimahi and whānau have some understanding of the Children’s Act 2014 and its process, however they shared it would be beneficial to continue to increase their awareness of the act and their commitment in fulfilling the obligations of the act. Mokopuna would further benefit when their safety and wellbeing is prioritised.
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 work alongside the Tari ā Rohe for support to address the key next steps identified in this report.

Kua mahi ngātahi Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ngā whānau, ngā kaiārahi, me ngā hapori ki te whakatakoto i ngā tirohanga aromātai e whai wāhi nui ai ki te hāpai i ngā whakapaitanga, ki te tautuhi i te ahu whakamua, ā, ki te whakapakari ake hoki i te āheinga ki te aromātai.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ngahere o Te Rangimārie ki te marae o Wainuiōmata, ki Wainuiōmata. Ka kāhakihakina ngā whānau maha e te kōhanga reo. Ko tētahi kaupapa matua, ko ngā Whakangungu a Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo i roto i Te Tohu Whakapakari. Ka toro atu te whānau ki te purapura o te hapori me te tari ā-rohe hoki o Te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo i ia te wā.
He pai ngā mokopuna ki te āta whakapuaki i te whanaungatanga mā roto mai i ā rātou taunekeneke ki ētahi atu.
E rumakina ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao ā-whānau e atawhai ana i a rātou. Kua whakatakotohia ngā whakaritenga whakaute, pērā i te tuku mihi ki ētahi atu, te aro atu ki ngā whānau, me te whakapuaki kōrero e pā ana ki ngā manuhiri. He kaha ngā mokopuna ki te āta taunekeneke ki waenga i a rātou anō, ki ētahi atu hoki, tae atu ki te whānau, ngā kaimahi, me ngā manuhiri. Ka rongo rātou i te awhi me te aroha mā te atawhai nui o te whānau. Ka waiata te whānau me ngā mokopuna i ngā waiata ā-ringa, ā, ka ako ngātahi hoki. Ka tautoko te whānau i ngā mokopuna mā te whakatauira i te āhua o te whakawhanaungatanga, mā te hāpai hoki i ngā mokopuna ki te whai wāhi atu. Ka tāwhai ētahi o ngā mokopuna i tēnā i kitea ai, i tēnā hoki i rangona ai e rātou. Ko ngā tikanga, pērā i te whakatau manuhiri, ka poipoi i ngā taunekeneke whakahoahoa, ā, ka arahina e ngā kaimahi. Ka hāpai ngā kaimahi i ngā matea ake o ia mokopuna. He kawenga ā ngā tuākana, pērā i te whakatangi i te pere, me te ārahi i ngā karakia me ngā waiata. Ka noho ngā tēina ki te taha o ō rātou tuākana. Ka aro nui ngā kaimahi ki ngā matea ā-tinana, ā-whatumanawa hoki o ngā pēpi. E arohaina ana ngā mokopuna.
Ka ako ngā mokopuna i te reo Māori ki te taha tonu o ētahi atu. E whakatauirahia ana te reo e ngā whānau me ngā kaimahi. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki reo e hāpai ai i te whakawhanaketanga reo o ngā mokopuna, pērā i ngā karakia, ngā hīmene, ngā pepeha, ngā pānui, ngā pūrākau, me ngā waiata. Ka akiaki, ka tautoko hoki ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna ki te taunekeneke mā te reo. E hāpai ana te wāhanga ōkawa o te hōtaka i te ako a ngā mokopuna i ngā tauira reo mā te tāruarua, pērā i ngā wā mihimihi. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā mahi ā-ringa hei tohutohu ā-tinana tonu e hāpai ai i te whai wāhi atu a ngā mokopuna. Ka whakawhiti kōrero ngā pēpi mā ō rātou kanohi me ō rātou ringaringa. E tino mōhio ana ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki ngā pēpi, ā, a aro nui ki a rātou. Kei te mauritau ngā mokopuna.
He komiti tā te whānau e kawe ana i ngā whakahaeretanga a te whānau. Hui ai te komiti i ia te wā, ā, ka tuhi rātou i ā rātou tukanga whakataunga. Kua whakatakotohia tētahi mahere ā-tau hei ārahi i te whakatinanatanga o ētahi o ngā mahi whakahaere matua. Kua whakaritea te nuinga o ngā take e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi.
Me whakapakari ake i te aromātai o roto. Kei te māramahia e te whānau, ka hāpai te pakari o ngā tukanga arotake i a rātou ki te whakakaha ake i te whānuitanga tonu o ngā mahi whakahaere ki te kōhanga reo. Kua tautuhia e rātou ngā āhuatanga whakahaere maha hei arotake, ā, kua tīmata kē te arotake haere i ētahi i tēnei wā. E mōhio ana rātou, he mea nui te whakatakoto haere i ngā tukanga e whakapakari ake ai i te aromātai o roto.
Ahakoa kua whakatakotohia ngā whakaritenga e pā ana ki te whakamahere me te aromatawai, he iti noa ngā hononga ki waenga i aua tūāhuatanga. Ahakoa ka taetae atu ngā kaimahi ki ngā wānanga e pā ana ki ngā mahi whakamahere, mahi aromatawai hoki, e mōhio ana rātou kei te ako tonu rātou ki te whakahono i ngā mahere ki ngā aromatawai. Kua tae ki te wā kia toro atu te whānau ki te tautoko e tika ana mō ngā kaimahi, hei āta whakatau i te whakatinanatanga o ngā aromatawai i ngā akoranga i whakamaheretia ai mā ngā mokopuna, ā, kia whai wāhi ngā akoranga i whakamaheretia ai ki ngā aromatawai e pā ana ki ngā mokopuna.
Ahakoa ngā whakaaturanga e tohu ana i te aromātai a ētahi o ngā kaimahi i ā rātou ake whakaritenga, kāhore he whakaaturanga e pā ana ki te aromātai hōtaka. Kāhore ngā kaimahi e aroturuki ana i te whai huatanga o te hōtaka mō ngā mokopuna.
E arotakengia ana te tūtohinga, ngā kaupapa here, me ngā tukanga i tēnei wā. E whakaae ana te whānau, koia tētahi wāhi hei āta whakawhanake tonu. He mea nui kia whakapā atu te whānau ki te tautoko o waho, kia āta māramahia ai te whakamatuatua ki te whakahāngai i ngā kaupapa here ki ngā herenga ā-ture o tēnei wā. I whakaae te whānau ki te arotake me te whakatika i taua āhuatanga kia hāngai ai ki ngā herenga ā-ture o tēnei wā.
Ahakoa kua whakaritea te tukanga arohaehae, e ai ki te whānau, kei te arotakengia e rātou i tēnei wā. E mōhio ana te whānau, he mea nui kia hāngai ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi ki ngā arohaehae e pā ana ki ia kaimahi.
Ahakoa kua whakatakotohia Te Ara Tūāpae, kua āhua ono tau kē te tawhito. E mōhio ana te whānau, kua tae ki te wā ki te arotake me te āta whakarite i te aroturukitanga o ngā mahi rautaki i roto i te roanga o te wā, hei whakatinana i ā rātou kaupapa matua o te paetawhiti.
I te wā o te aromātai, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei:
E whakaae ana te whānau, me tahuri rātou ki te:

The Education Review Office, whānau, leaders and communities have collaborated to provide evaluation insights that foster improvement, identify progress and build evaluation capability.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ngahere o Te Rangimarie is located on Te Marae o Wainuiomata in Wainuiomata. The kōhanga reo attracts many whānau. National Trust training for Te Tohu Whakapakari is a priority. Whānau have regular contact with the local purapura the local Trust office.
Mokopuna positively show whanaungatanga through their interactions with others.
Mokopuna are immersed in a warm whānau environment. Respectful practices are in place such as greeting others, acknowledging whānau and introducing visitors. Mokopuna interact positively with one another and others including whānau, kaimahi and visitors. They experience awhi and aroha through affectionate touch from whānau. Whānau and mokopuna sing actions songs and learn together. Whānau support mokopuna by modelling positive relationships and assisting mokopuna to participate. Some mokopuna copy what they see and hear. Tikanga such as whakatau manuhiri foster social interactions guided by kaimahi. Kaimahi support individual mokopuna needs. Tuākana have responsibilities including ringing the bell, leading karakia and waiata. Teina sit alongside their tuākana. Kaimahi respond to the physical and emotional needs of babies. Mokopuna are loved.
Mokopuna learn te reo Māori alongside others. Language is modelled by whānau and kaimahi. Kaimahi use a range of language strategies to support mokopuna language development including including karakia, himene, pepeha, pānui, pūrākau and waiata. Kaimahi encourage and support mokopuna language interactions. The formal part of the programme enables mokopuna to learn language patterns through repetition such as mihimihi. Kaimahi use hand actions as physical cues to assist mokopuna participation. Babies communicate using facial expressions and hand movements. Kaimahi and whānau intimately know the babies and respond accordingly. Mokopuna are settled.
Whānau have a committee with responsibility for whānau whakahaere. The committee meets regularly and documents their decision-making processes. An annual plan is in place to guide the administration of key aspects of operations. Most personnel matters are in place.
Internal evaluation requires strengthening. Whānau understand that robust internal review processes will assist them to strengthen the overall management of the kōhanga reo. They have identified a number of operations that require review, some of which are presently under way. They acknowledge the importance of putting processes in place to strengthen internal evaluation.
Although planning and assessment practices are in place, there are limited connections between these. While kaimahi attend planning and assessment wānanga, they acknowledge that they are still learning how to connect planning with assessment. It is time for whānau to seek support for kaimahi to ensure that assessments inform planned learning for mokopuna and that planned learning is reflected in mokopuna assessments.
While there is some evidence of individual kaimahi evaluating their respective practices, there is no evidence of programme evaluation. Kaimahi do not monitor the effectiveness of the programme for mokopuna.
Charter, policies and procedures are presently under review. Whānau agreed that this is an area to where continued development is required.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ngahere o Te Rangimārie ki te marae o Wainuiōmata, ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Ka whakarato te kōhanga reo i te atawhai me te mātauranga ki ngā mokopuna me ō rātou whānau ki te rohe o Wainuiōmata. Ko te reo me ngā tikanga Māori te aronga matua o te whānau. Kei roto katoa i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki, ko ngā kōrero, ngā toi, me te ahurea Māori i tuku iho ai.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ngahere o Te Rangiamārie i roto i te toru o ngā tau.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ngahere o Te Rangimārie ki te marae o Wainuiōmata, ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Nō te rohe o Wainuiōmata te nuinga o ngā tamariki me ō rātou whānau. Ka kitea te whanaungatanga ki te tautoko o te whānau i te kōhanga reo me te hapori.
Ko tā te kōhanga reo tirohanga, ko te whakapakari i te reo Māori me ngā tikanga Māori. Ka whakanui ngā mātāpono me ngā uaratanga o te whānau i te ū tonu ki te whakapakari haere i te kōhanga reo hei painga mō ā rātou tamariki o nāianei, ā, mō meāke nei hoki.
Ka kitea te tupu haere o te tūmāia me te harikoa o ngā tamariki i roto i ā rātou wheako ki te kōhanga reo.
E ako ana ngā tamariki ki roto i tētahi taiao e mau nei i te reo Māori hei aronga matua. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo rautaki hei whakapiki ake i te whanaketanga reo o ngā tamariki. Ko ētahi o aua rautaki, ko te mahi tāruarua, te whakapuaki i ngā kupu hou, me te whakahāngaitanga o te tautoko ki ngā matea o ia tamaiti. Ka whakahua ngā tamariki i ngā kupu hou i a rātou e whakawhiti kōrero ana. Ka ako rātou i ngā whakatakotoranga reo o ngā mihimihi, ngā pepeha, ngā whakataukī, me ngā waiata. Nā ēnei, ka māia tā rātou whai wāhi ki ngā wā ako ōkawa. E tupu ana te tūmāia o ngā tamariki ki te whakawhiti kōrero ki waenga i a rātou me ngā pākeke mā te reo Māori.
He ākonga ngana ngā tamariki. E mōhio ana ngā kaimahi, ka ako ngā tamariki mā te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo huarahi. Ka ngakau nui ngā tamariki ki ngā whai wāhitanga ki te tūhura me te whakawhānui ake i ō rātou māramatanga mo te ao. Ko te ingoa o te kōhanga reo e tohu ana i te tino tirohanga ki te taiao māoriori me ōna tini āhuatanga katoa. Kua āta whakaritea, kua whakahoungia anō hoki te taiao ako, ā, e tohu ana i te hiahia o te whānau kia ako ngā tamariki i ngā kōrero tuku iho o tēnei hapori. E whakaatuhia ana ngā toi Māori i runga i ngā pakitara, ā, e whakatairanga ana i te whakahirahiratanga o te tuakiri Māori. E ako ana ngā tamariki i tō rātou tūnga ki te ao.
He pai te noho ngatahi me te mahi ngatahi a ngā tamariki ki te taha o ētahi atu. E pou here ana te whanaungatanga i ngā hononga katoa. I ngā wa e mahi tahi ana ngā tamariki, ka kitea te aroha, te whakaute i waenganui ia ratou. Kua āta whakaritea ngā mahinga. Ko te riterite me te tau o te hōtaka akoranga e hāpai ana i te mauritau o ngā tamariki. Ka kawe ake ngā tamariki i ngā mahi ki te tiaki i tō rātou kōhanga reo me ō rātou hoa. Ko te pai o ngā wheako me ngā hononga o ngā tamariki e āta whakatakoto ana i te tino tūāpapa mō ngā akoranga.
E whanake ana te whakamahere hōtaka me te aromatawai. He hou ngā kaimahi ki te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Ka kōkiri tonu rātou kia marama ai ratou ki ngā kaupapa me ngā tūmanako o te kōhanga reo. E pupū ake ana te whakawhanaketanga o tētahi mahere ā-tau, ngā mahere ā-wāhanga, me ngā mahere ā-wiki. He mātanga/matatau tētahi kuia o tēnei hapori ki te reo Māori me te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo, ā, e hāpai ana ia i ngā kaimahi ki te whakarite i ngā hōtaka akoranga me ngā mahi aromatawai e tika ana.
Kua āta whakaritea ētahi wāhanga o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau. Kua whakawhanakehia e te whānau tētahi tukanga whakahaere e whakakotahi ana i te whānau, ā, he ngawari ake hoki mō ngā mātua kāhore e taea te āta taetae atu ki ngā hui katoa. Ko te kaha o ngā whakawhitinga kōrero me te mārama hoki o ngā tūmanako, e āta whakarite ana i te whakatutukitanga o te whānau i ngā kawenga matua o te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo. Ko te aronga matua o ngā mahere ā-tau me te arotakenga o ngā pūnaha ki te kōhanga reo, e whakatakoto ana i te waiora me te aronga toi whenuatanga o ngā tamariki ki te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere.
Kāhore te aromatawai o ngā tamariki e hāngai ana ki ngā mahere. Kāhore ngā kaimahi e whakahono ana ki ngā putanga ako i roto i ngā hōtaka i whakamaheretia ai, hei huarahi ki te aroturuki i te ahu whakamua a ngā tamariki. E whanake tonu ana tō rātou māramatanga ki ngā huarahi ka tuitui i ngā ngakau nuitanga o ngā tamariki ki ngā mahere. Ka aroturukitia ake ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki, mā te āta whakahono ake i ngā mahere me ngā aromatawai.
Kua tae ki te wā kia whakaritea e te whānau tētahi tukanga arohaehae hei hāpai i te whakawhanaketanga ngaio o ngā kaimahi. Me tahuri hoki ratou ki te whakamahere rautaki. E mōhio ana te whānau, e tika ana kia āta whakamahia ake e rātou te mahere rautaki a te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo. Ka hāpai tēnei i a rātou ki te tāutu i ngā kaupapa matua o te kōhanga reo, mō te paetawhiti me te wā waenga.
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 whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ngahere o Te Rangimārie ki te marae o Wainuiōmata, ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Ka whakarato te kōhanga reo i te atawhai me te mātauranga ki ngā mokopuna me ō rātou whānau ki te rohe o Wainuiōmata. Ko te reo me ngā tikanga Māori te aronga matua o te whānau. Kei roto katoa i ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki, ko ngā kōrero, ngā toi, me te ahurea Māori i tuku iho ai.
Ka arotake anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ngahere o Te Rangiamārie i roto i te toru o ngā tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ngahere o Rangimārie is on Wainuiomata marae in Wellington.The kōhanga reo provides care and education to mokopuna and their whānau in Wainuiomata area. Te reo and tikanga Māori are the main focus of the whānau. Children’s learning is steeped in Māori traditional stories, art and culture.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ngahere o Te Rangiamārie will be in three years.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ngahere o Te Rangimārie is on Wainuiomata Marae, in Wellington. Most children and their whānau come from the Wainuiomata area. Whanaungatanga is reflected in the way the whānau support the kōhanga reo and the community.
The vision of this kōhanga reo is to strengthen te reo Māori me ngā tikanga Māori. Whānau principles and values emphasise the ongoing commitment to strengthening the kōhanga reo to benefit their children now and in to the future.
Children show a growing confidence and happiness in their experiences at the kōhanga reo.
Children learn in an environment where te reo Maori is a priority. Kaimahi use a range of strategies to increase children’s reo development. These include repetition, introduction of new vocabulary and focused individual support. Children include the new kupu in to their conversations. They learn the language structures of mihimihi, pepeha, whakataukī and waiata. This gives them confidence to participate during these formal times of learning. Children are developing confidence to have conversations with each other and with adults in te reo Māori.
Children are engaged learners. Kaimahi recognise that children learn in a variety of ways. Children enjoy the opportunities to explore and expand on their understanding about the world. The name of the kōhanga reo provides a valuable window to the natural environment and elements. The well organised and refreshed learning environment reflects the desire of the whānau for children to learn about the local stories. Māori art adorn the walls and promote the significance and importance of being Māori. Children are learning about their place in the world.
Children work well with and alongside others. Whanaungatanga underpins all relationships. Interactions are positive caring and respectful. Routines are well established. The consistency and familiarity of the learning programme provide children with a sense of security. Children take responsibility for looking after their kōhanga reo and each other. Children’s positive experiences and relationships provide a sound foundation for learning.
Programme planning and assessment is developing. Kaimahi are new to the kaupapa of te kōhanga reo. They continue to familiarise themselves with the kaupapa and expectations of kōhanga reo. An annual plan, term plans and weekly plans are in the early developmental stage. A local kuia with a wealth of knowledge in te reo Māori and the kōhanga reo movement provides support to kaimahi to establish suitable learning programmes and assessment practices.
Aspects of whānau management are well organised. The whānau has developed a management process that is inclusive and less onerous for parents who are unable to commit to regular attendance at meetings. Open communication and clear expectations ensure the whānau is meeting key responsibilities in the management of the kōhanga reo. The focused annual plans and review of the kōhanga reo systems places children’s wellbeing and belonging at the centre of operations.
Children’s assessments do not reflect planning. Kaimahi do not make links to the learning outcomes in planned programmes as a source for monitoring children’s progress. They are still developing an understanding of how children’s interests can be integrated in to the planning. Children’s learning could be better monitored if planning and assessment were closely linked.
It is time for whānau to establish an appraisal process to support kaimahi in their professional development. Strategic planning also needs some attention. Whānau acknowledge that they need to make better use of Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust’s strategic plan. This will assist them to identify long and medium term priorities for the kōhanga reo.
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 and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendations:
Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ngahere o Rangimārie is on Wainuiomata marae in Wellington.The kōhanga reo provides care and education to mokopuna and their whānau in Wainuiomata area. Te reo and tikanga Māori are the main focus of the whānau. Children’s learning is steeped in Māori traditional stories, art and culture.
The next ERO review of Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Ngahere o Te Rangiamārie will be in three years.
