View on mapKua 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 Kia Tau te Rangimārie ki te hapori o Stoke, ki Whakatū. He tino hononga tō te kōhanga reo ki ngā iwi e ono o te rohe, me te marae o Whakatū. He hou ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki ngā tūranga.
Ka kitea ki ngā mokopuna tō rātou harikoa hei ākonga.
Ka akiaki ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna ki te whai i ō rātou ake hiahia me te whai wāhi mātātoa atu ki te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo whai wāhitanga ako. He ngāwari tā rātou āta mahi ki te taha o ngā mokopuna, ā, he ngāwari hoki tō rātou reo whakawhitiwhiti kōrero. He tika te whanonga a ngā mokopuna i a rātou e whakatau manuhiri ana, ā, e ako ana rātou i tō rātou tū hei tangata whenua. He mauritau rātou i roto i ngā whakahaeretanga, ā, ka aro nui hoki ki te kaupapa. E wātea ana ki ngā mokopuna te tangongitanga o ngā taonga māoriori me ngā rauemi tūturu. Ka whakamihi ngā kaimahi, ā, ka whakamahi hoki rātou i ngā rautaki papai hei whakatairanga ake i te ngākau titikaha me te whanaketanga reo o ngā mokopuna. Ka taea e ngā tuākana te whakautu kōrero kotahi, ngā whakautu rānei e rua mā te reo Māori, ā, ka kitea hoki te māramatanga o ngā pēpi mā te āhua o ō rātou kanohi me ō rātou reo ā-tinana. He ākonga harikoa, he ākonga pākiki hoki ngā mokopuna.
He pai ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau i te kōhanga reo. He mātātoa tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki ngā whakahaeretanga me ngā whakaritenga. Tū ai ngā hui ā-whānau i ia te wā, ā, he pai hoki te tae ā-tinana atu. He kiko, he mōhiohio hoki i ngā meneti, ā, he auau hoki ngā pūrongo, puta noa i ngā whakahaeretanga. E āta tāutu ana te mahere ā-tau i ngā wāhanga matua o ngā whakahaeretanga, ā, i te wā e tika ana ki te whakatutuki i aua mahi. Kua āta whakatakotohia ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga matua e pā ana ki te hauora, te haumaru, me te whakahaeretanga o ngā kaimahi. Kua oti te arohaehae kaimahi, ā, he aronga tonutanga ki te whakawhanaketanga ngaio. E tautuhi ana te tūtohinga i ngā tukanga ki te whakahaere i ngā whakaritenga i te kōhanga reo, ā, e hāpaitia ana ki ngā mātāpono me ngā takohanga o Te Korowai. Ko ngā mokopuna kei te pūtake o ngā mahi whakahaere a te whānau.
He tukanga ā ngā kaimahi mō te whakamahere i te hōtaka. E whai kiko ana te mahere ako, ā, ka āta kitea ngā hononga pū ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo. Ka whai wāhi hoki ki tēnei, ko ngā aratohu mō te whakapuakitanga o te hōtaka i ia wāhanga, i ia wiki, ā, i ia rā hoki. Ka whakamaheretia te tangongitanga o ngā taumahi hei whakangahau, hei wero hoki i ngā mokopuna. Ka ngākau nui ngā mokopuna ki ngā taumahi i whakamaheretia ai mā rātou.
Ahakoa he wawata mārama, he kaupapa matua hoki ā te whānau i tautuhia ai ki te mahere rautaki, kāhore he mahere mahi hei hāpai i te whānau ki te whakatinana i ā rātou whāinga. He mea nui i nāianei, kia whanakehia e te whānau tētahi mahere mahi hei whakatakoto, hei aroturuki hoki i te ahu whakamua o ā rātou mahi.
Me whakapakari i te aromatawai i ngā mokopuna me te aromātai hōtaka. Me whai tautoko ngā kaimahi ki te whakawhanake me te whakatinana i ngā mahi e aromatawai ana i ngā mokopuna. Me whakawhanake ake i te aromātai hōtaka. Ahakoa ka whakawhiti kōrero ngā kaimahi, kāhore aua kōrero e tuhia ana. Ka whakatairanga ake ngā putanga o ngā akoranga a ngā mokopuna, mā te whakapai ake i ngā whakaritenga a ngā kaimahi.
I te wā o te arotake, i tirohia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā pūnaha ki te whakahaere i ngā wāhanga e whai ake nei, arā, ki:
Kia tutuki i a rātou ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri te whānau 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 Kia Tau te Rangimārie is based in Stoke, Nelson. The kōhanga Reo have close relationships with the six iwi of the rohe and a close affiliation with Te Marae o Whakatū. Kaimahi and whānau are new to the roles.
Mokopuna show they are happy learners.
Kaimahi encourage mokopuna to follow their personal preferences and to actively participate in a range of learning opportunities. They work with mokopuna in an unrushed manner where communication is gentle. Mokopuna behave appropriately when welcoming manuhiri and are learning about their roles as tangata whenua. They are settled and attentive during formalities. Mokopuna have access to range of natural and physical resources. Kaimahi use praise and positive strategies to promote confidence and language development with mokopuna. Tuakana are able to provide one or two responses in te reo Māori and pēpi demonstrate their understanding through facial expressions and body language. Mokopuna are happy and curious learners.
The whānau manage the kōhanga reo well. They actively participate in the management and operations. Whānau hui are regular and well attended. Minutes are detailed and informative with regular reporting across the operations. The annual plan clearly identifies key areas of operations and when they must be attended to. Core health, safety and personnel management policies and procedures are in place. Kaimahi appraisals are completed with an ongoing focus of professional development. The tūtohinga defines processes to manage the kōhanga reo operations and is supported by the principles and obligations of Te Korowai. Mokopuna are at the heart of whānau management.
Kaimahi have in place processes for programme planning. The mahere ako is detailed and shows clear links to Te Whāriki-a-Te-Kōhanga Reo. This includes guidance for term, weekly and daily implementation of the programme. A variety of activities are planned to provide fun and challenges for mokopuna. Mokopuna enjoy their planned activities.
While the whānau have clear aspirations and priorities identified in the strategic plan, there is no action plan to assist whānau to realise their goals. It’s now important that whānau develop an action plan to record and monitor in the progress of their actions.
Mokopuna assessment and programme evaluation requires strengthening. Kaimahi require support to develop and implement mokopuna assessment. Programme evaluation needs to be developed. While kaimahi have discussions, this is not documented. Mokopuna learning can lead to better outcomes by improving kaimahi practices.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:
To meet compliance requirements, they must:

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Kia Tau Te Rangimārie ki te hapori o Stoke, ki Whakatū. Nō nā tata tonu nei ētahi wero i pā ai ki te kōhanga reo: irihaina te kaiako, kāhore he kaiwhakahaere tari, ā, i heke te tatauranga ongā tamariki ki te rārangi ingoa. Kātahi anōngā kaimahi hou ka whakatūngia, ā, e ako ana rātou i ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga mahi, e arotahi ana hoki ki te kounga o ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. Kua heke iho te whai wāhi mai o te whānau nā te nuinga o ngā mātua e mahi ana.
Nā te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo take i tāutuhia ai i te wā o tēnei arotake, kua tāpirihia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga tētahi atu wāhanga hei whakatakoto i ngā pārongo e hāngai pū ana ki te whakahaeretanga me te whakaritenga o te kōhanga reo.
Ahakoa te tokoiti o ngā tamariki me ngā kaimahi, ka kitea ki ngā tamariki e haere ana ki te kōhanga reo tō rātou māramatanga ki te reo Māori māmā, me tā rātou whakamahinga anō hoki i taua reo.
Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki te hōtaka ōkawa. E arahina ana te hōtaka akoranga ki ngā mahinga o ia rā. He ngāwari tā rātou whakawhiti haere ki ngā tūmomo mahi atawhai, pērā i te horoi ringa, te karakia, me te kai. Ka āta whakarite ngā kaimahi kia noho wātea ai ētahi rauemi mā ngā tamariki. He harikoa te āhua o ngā tamariki i tō rātou ki te kōhanga reo.
E hāpaitia ana te ako a ngā tamariki i te reo Māori. Ko te tāruarua i ngā kupu e mōhio whānuitia ana tētahi rautaki mō te whakaako i te reo Māori. E āhei ana ētahi o ngā tamariki tokowhitu ki te mihimihi, te waiata, me te taki anō hoki i ētahi karakia. E āhei ana rātou ki te whai i ngā tohutohu me te whakautu i ngā pātai māmā, ā, ka whakautu mā ngā kupu iti. Ka tākaro, ka ako hoki ngā pēpi ki te taha o ō rātou tuākana. Ka taea e ngā tamariki ētahi āhuatanga o te reo te whakamahi.
Ka kitea ki ngā mahere ngā hononga ki Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo, ā, e tāutu ana hoki i ngā whāinga ako whānui. E mōhio ana ngā kaimahi ki ngā tamariki, ā, ka tuhi rātou i tēnā e whakatutukihia ana e ia tamaiti ki āna pūkete me tana mātai tamaiti.
Kāhore te hōtaka akoranga e aromātaihia ana. Kāhore i te whānau te pakari me te āheinga ki te hāpai i te hōtaka akoranga i roto i te reo Māori.
Kāhore te whānau e mārama ana i ō rātou tūranga me ā rātou kawenga mahi. Kāhore he mahere ā-tau e tautuhi ana i tēnā e hiahiatia ana e te whānau, i tēnā rānei e tika ana hei whai atu.
He tokoiti noa ngā whānau e whai wāhi atu ana ki ngā whakahaeretanga o te kōhanga reo. Nā te tokoiti o ngā tamariki ki te rārangi ingoa, kua heke iho anō te whai wāhi mai o te whānau.
He iti noa ngā pūtea o te whānau o te kōhanga reo, hei hāpai i ngā whakahaeretanga o ia rā. Ko te rihaina a te kaiako me te heke iho o ngā tatauranga tamariki ki te kōhanga reo, kua āta pā anō hoki ki te āhua o ngā pūtea. E whakapau kaha ana te kaitiaki pūtea ki te whakahaere i te kōhanga reo mā te iti noa o te pūtea, ā, e whakamahi ana ia i ngā pūtea e wātea ana ki te whakatutuki i ngā utu matua. Ahakoa he iti noa ngā pūtea mō ngā rauemi ako me te kawe haere i ngā tamariki, kua whakatau kē ngā kaimahi me ngā mātua i ētahi atu whakaritenga, hei whakatutuki i aua utu.
Ko te hauora me te haumaru tētahi āhuatanga e āwangawangatia ana. Ahakoa he kaupapa here, he tukanga hoki ki te kōhanga reo, kāhore aua āhuatanga e whāia ana i ia te wā. Ahakoa he tūmanako hoki kia aroturukitia, kia tuhia ngā āhuatanga e pā ana ki te haumaru ā-tinana o ngā tamariki ki te taiao ako, e mōhio ana hoki ngā kaimahi me te whānau ki ngā mahi tonu hei whai kia pai ake ai auawhakaritenga.
E mōhio ana te whānau, e tika ana kia hāpaitia e rātou te whai atu a ngā kaimahi i ā rātou Tohu Mātauranga, me te whai pānga anō hoki o tēnei tūāhuatanga ki te taha pūtea.
E mōhio ana te whānau, he nui ngā mahi kei mua i a rātou. He maha ngā take nui hei tirohanga wawe:
Kāhore te rōnakitanga o te kōhanga reo e whakapūmautia ana. Ko te heke iho o te tatauranga tamariki ki te kōhanga reo, o te pūtea hoki, me te iti rawa o te whai wāhi mai o te whānau e pā tōraro ana ki ā rātou mahi ki te whakamahere me te whakawhanake mō meāke nei.
Me whakatika i te wāhi o waho, hei whakatutuki i ngā herenga ā-ture, inarā, i ngā āhuatanga e whai pānga matua ana ki te haumaru ā-tinana o ngā tamariki
Kāhore te aroturukitanga, te tuhi haere hoki i te haumaru o ngā tamariki e whakatutukihia ana i ia te wā, inarā, ko ērā e hāngai ana ki te moe, te tīni kope, te whāngai i ngā rongoā, ngā akoako hōneatanga ohorere, ngā aituā, me ngā maiki, tae atu hoki ki te whakatika wawe i ngā āhuatanga mōrearea.
Kāhore ngā kaupapa here me ngā tukanga e hāngai ana ki ngā whakarerekētanga ki ngā herenga ā-ture, pērā i te Te Ture Oranga Tamariki 2014.
Kāhore anō te arotake whaiaro kia whakatinanahia, hei āta whakarite i te whakatutukitanga o te whānau i ngā rerekētanga ki ngā herenga ā-ture, kāhore te arohaehae e whakatutuki auau ana, ā, kāhore anō kia whakahoungia te tutohinga.
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.
Kei raro iho nei ngā wāhanga herenga ā-ture i tāutuhia ai hei whakatutuki, arā, me:
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 Kia Tau Te Rangimārie i roto i te kotahi tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Kia Tau Te Rangimarie is in Stoke, Nelson. The kōhanga reo has faced some recent challenges: the kaiako resigned, there was no administrator, and a decrease in roll numbers. Newly appointed kaimahi are still learning their roles and responsibilities, and are focussed on the quality of children’s learning. Whānau participation has decreased as most parents are employed.
Due to the range of issues identified during the course of this review, ERO has added an additional section to provide specific information about the kōhanga management and operation.
Despite low numbers and limited staffing, those children who attend the kōhanga reo, show that they are able to understand and use some te reo Māori.
Children participate in the formal programme. The learning programme is guided by the daily routines. They transition smoothly to routines of care such as horoi ringa, karakia and kai. The kaimahi ensure that children have access to some resources. Children appear happy during their time at kōhanga.
Children are supported to learn te reo Māori. Repetition of familiar words is the strategy used for teaching te reo Māori. Some of the 7 children are able to say mihimihi, sing waiata and recite karakia. They are able to follow instructions and answer simple questions using basic word responses. Babies play and learn beside their tuākana. Children can use some language.
Planning shows links to Te Whāriki a te kōhanga reo and identify broad learning goals. Kaimahi know the children and they document what children can do in individual profiles and matai tamaiti.
There is no evaluation of the learning programme. Whānau do not have the confidence and capacity to support the learning programme in te reo Māori.
The whānau do not understand their roles and responsibilities. There is no annual plan to define what whānau want to do or what they need to do.
There are few whānau involved in the kōhanga reo operations. The low roll numbers has led to a decline in whānau participation.
The kōhanga reo whānau has limited funds to support daily operations. The resignation of the kaiako and decrease in roll numbers has impacted on funding. The treasurer is working hard to operate the kōhanga reo with a limited budget by using available funds to make key payments. While there are limited funds for learning resources and transportation, kaimahi and parents have made alternative arrangements to meet these expenses.
Health and safety is a concern. While there are policies and procedures, these are not always followed. While there are monitoring and recording expectations related to the children’s physical safety in the learning environment, kaimahi and whānau are aware of what the next steps are to improve practice.
The whānau is aware of the need to support kaimahi to gain Tohu Whakapakari qualifications and the implications for funding.
The whānau is aware that they have a lot of work ahead of them. There are major concerns that require urgent attention:
The future viability of the kōhanga reo is not guaranteed. The falling roll, decrease in funding and limited whānau involvement is impacting on the forward planning and development.
The outdoor area requires attention to meet legislation requirements, particularly related to children’s physical safety.
Monitoring and recording children’s safety is not regularly completed, in particular sleeping children, nappy changing, administering medicine, emergency evacuation drills, accidents and incidents including attending to hazards as quickly as possible.
Policies and procedures do not align to legislative changes such as the Vulnerable Children’s Act 2014.
Self review has not been implemented to ensure the whānau meet legislative changes, there has not been regular appraisal and the charter is yet to be updated.
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 following areas of non-compliance have been identified and must be addressed.
Ensure that a current building warrant of fitness is sourced
[R45 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; PF3 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
Ensure whānau are provided with opportunity to contribute to the regular review of the kōhanga reo operational documents (such as charter, philosophy, policies, and procedures)
(Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; GMA4 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
Review and update all health and safety policies and procedures to ensure all health and safety requirements for emergence evacuation drills, sleeping, accidents and incidents, hazards, child protection and behaviour management are met and maintained for children
[Regulations 46 (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; HS 1-33 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
Establish an ongoing process of self- review 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]
All reasonable steps are taken to document a system of regular appraisal
(Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; GMA7 Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
Kaimahi plan, implement, and evaluate the Te Kōhanga Reo curriculum to provide positive learning experiences for children
[Regulations 43
Whānau establish an annual plan to guide the operations of the kōhanga reo.
[Regulation 47, (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008; GMA 8, Licensing Criteria for Kōhanga Reo affiliated with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
That National Te Kōhanga Reo Trust provide immediate support to address all areas of concern raised in this report.
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Kia Tau Te Rangimārie will be within one year.
