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. E hāngai ana tēnei pūrongo ki ā rātou pūnaha, ki ā rātou whakahaeretanga, me ā rātou whakaritenga. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōterepo ki te hapori o Waltham, ki Ōtautahi. He maha ngā wero i pā ki te whānau whai muri i ngā rū whenua ki Ōtautahi i te tau 2011. Mai i taua wā, kua hūnuku rātou ki tō rātou whare hou e tū ana ki te taha o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Kura Whakapūmau i te Reo Tūturu ki Waitaha.
I kitea ki te arotakenga Mana Whakahaere a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te Whiringa-ā-rangi o te tau 2023, kua āta whakaritea e te whānau ngā tukanga me ngā pūnaha e hāpai ai i te ako a ngā mokopuna, i tō rātou waiora hoki. Ko te whakawhanaketanga me te atawhai whānui tonu o ngā mokopuna e whai pānga nui ana ki te āhua tonu o ngā whakaritenga e whakatau ngātahitia ana e te whānau.
E whakawhanake ana ngā mokopuna i ō rātou māramatanga ki ngā kōrero tuku iho a ngā tīpuna, puta noa i te tangongitanga o ngā horopaki ahurea.
E ako ana ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao tūturu kua āta whakatōngia ki ngā mātāpono o ngā tikanga Māori. Ka whakamahi ngā kuia me ngā kaimahi i ngā aronga papai e whakaputa ai i ngā whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te rongo i te reo Māori ki ngā horopaki ōkawa me ngā horopaki ōpaki. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tuākana ki ngā whakawhitinga kōrero māmā ki ō rātou kuia, ki ngā kaimahi, ā, ki ō rātou hoa hoki. Ka tāwhai ngā tēina, ā, ka tohu ā-tinana i roto i ngā taunekeneke, hei whakaatu i tō rātou māramatanga. Ka toro atu ngā kaimahi ki te tangongitanga o ngā waiata, hei whakatairanga i te māramatanga o ngā mokopuna ki ō rātou hononga ā-whakapapa me ngā kōrero tuku iho. Ka ngākau nui ngā mokopuna ki te toro atu me te whai wāhi nui ki ngā kaupapa motuhake o Te Pae Tuku Aka, o Te Pae Tuku Kōrero, me Te Taiao o Te Mokopuna. Ka noho pākiki rātou ki ngā mātauranga e pā ana ki Te Aitanga a Tāne Mahuta me Te Aitanga a Pēpeke. Ka whakaaweawe ngā kaimahi i ngā mokopuna kia tūhura haere rātou mā ngā huarahi pārekareka, mā te whakaari hoki. I ngā wā katoa, ka whakanui rātou i ngā whakamātau me ngā whakatutukitanga a ia mokopuna.
Ko te manaakitanga me te aroha kei te tūāpapa o ngā taunekeneke katoa i te hōtaka akoranga. Ka rongo ngā mokopuna i te aroha me te manaaki o ō rātou kuia, ō rātou kaimahi, ō rātou whānau, me ētahi atu. Ka kitea tō rātou whakaute me tō rātou whakaaro nui i a rātou e taunekeneke ana ki ngā pakeke, ki ō rātou hoa, ki te taiao hoki. Ko ngā mahinga o ia rā he whai wāhitanga mō ngā mokopuna ki te whakapuaki, te whakamārama, me te whakanui i ō rātou wheako ako. He hihiri, he auaha, he pohewa hoki te āhua o ngā wāhi o roto, o waho, ā, kua whakaritea hei kōkiri i te ako takirōpū me te ako takitahi. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā ngā akoranga e poipoi ana i ō rātou mana, ō rātou wairua, me ō rātou mauri.
He pai te whakahaeretanga o ngā take kaimahi. Kei ngā tuhinga e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi, ko ngā kirimina whiwhi mahi a ia kaimahi, ko ngā tuhinga tūranga mahi, ko ngā pūkenga e tūmanakohia ana, me ngā tuhinga manatoko e arowhai ana i te haumaru o ngā kaimahi. E hāpai ana te arohaehae whaiaro i te tupu me te whakawhanaketanga o ngā kaimahi. E whakatairangatia ana te waiora o ngā mokopuna, tā rātou ako hoki, ki te pakari o ngā whakaritenga whakahaere a te whānau.
Kua whakatakotohia e te whānau ngā whakaritenga e whakatairanga ai i ngā putanga papai ki ngā mokopuna, ā, e tautoko ai i ngā whakaritenga a ngā kaimahi. I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo te taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia whakatairanga ngātahi tonu te whānau i te kounga o ngā akoranga me ngā putanga a ngā mokopuna. Ka puāwai ngā mokopuna ki tētahi taiao e arotahi ana ki ō rātou matea.
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:

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. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO reports provide important information for hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōterepo is in the suburb of Waltham, Christchurch. Whānau faced several challenges following the Christchurch earthquakes of 2011. They have since moved into their new building located alongside Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Kura Whakapūmau i Te Reo Tūturu ki Waitaha.
ERO’s Mana Whakahaere review in November 2023 found that whānau have established processes and systems to support mokopuna learning and wellbeing. Mokopuna overall development and care informs whānau collective decision making.
Mokopuna are broadening their understanding of their ancestral narratives across various cultural contexts.
Mokopuna learn in an authentic environment grounded in the principles of tikanga Māori. Kuia and kaimahi use effective approaches to provide opportunities for mokopuna to hear te reo Māori in both formal and informal contexts. Tuakana engage in simple conversations with their kuia, kaimahi and their peers. Teina mimic and use body gestures during their interactions to demonstrate their understanding. Kaimahi use a range of waiata to enhance mokopuna understanding of their whakapapa connections and ancestral heritage. Mokopuna enjoying sharing and engaging in the unique kaupapa of Te Pae Tuku Aka, Te Pae Tuku Kōrero and Te Taiao o Te Mokopuna. They are intrigued with knowledge of Te Aitanga ā Tanemahuta and Te Aitanga ā Pēpeke. Kaimahi inspire mokopuna to explore through enjoyable and theatrical methods. They consistently applaud the efforts and achievements of each mokopuna.
The practices of manaakitanga and aroha form the foundation of all interactions within the learning programme. Mokopuna experience love and care from their kuia, kaimahi, whānau and others. They show respect and consideration in their interactions with adults, peers and the taiao. The daily routine offers opportunities for mokopuna to express, interpret and celebrate their learning experiences. Both indoor and outdoor spaces are vibrant, creative, imaginative and organised to facilitate both group and individual learning. Mokopuna benefit from learning that nurtures their mana, wairua and mauri.
Personnel matters are well managed. Kaimahi employment documentation encompasses individual employment agreements, position descriptions, competency expectations and verified kaimahi safety checks. Self-appraisals contribute to kaimahi growth and development. Mokopuna wellbeing and learning are promoted through strong whānau whakahaere practices.
Whānau have practices in place to enhance positive outcomes for mokopuna and support kaimahi practice. ERO and the kōhanga reo whānau developed the following recommendation for whānau to collectively continue to enhance the quality of mokopuna learning and outcomes. Mokopuna thrive in an environment that is focused on their needs.
During the evaluation, ERO looked at systems for managing the following areas:

Kua 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. E hāngai ana tēnei pūrongo ki ā rātou pūnaha, ki ā rātou whakaritenga, me ā rātou mahi whakahaere. Ka whakarato ngā pūrongo a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i ngā mōhiohio mātuatua mā ngā hapū me ngā iwi.
E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōterepo ki te hapori o Waltham, ki Ōtautahi. He nui ngā wero i pā ki te whānau whai muri i ngā rū whenua i Ōtautahi i te tau 2011. Kua hūnuku rātou ki tō rātou whare hou e tū ana ki te taha o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Kura Whakapūmau i te Reo Tūturu ki Waitaha. E ngākau nui ana te whānau ki te reo Māori, ki te ao Māori, me te whakawhiti hūrokuroku noa ki te kura kaupapa Māori.
E hāpai ana ngā pūnaha me ngā tukanga a te whānau i te waiora o ngā mokopuna, i tā rātou ako, tae atu hoki ki te atawhai i a rātou.
He tukanga ā te whānau mō te whakahaeretanga i te nuinga o ngā tūāhuatanga i te kōhanga reo. He kaha te taetae atu ki ngā hui ā-whānau, ā, ka kitea hoki te pūrongo atu i ngā kaupapa whakahaere matua. Kua whakatakotohia ngā kaupapa here matua me ngā tukanga matua e pā ana ki te hauora me te haumaru. He pai ngā mōhiohio i roto i ngā rēhita, ā, he auau hoki te whakatutuki haere. Ka whakamahia Te Ara Tūāpae hei whakamōhio i te mahere rautaki. Ka whai wāhi atu ki taua tuhinga, ko te tirohanga me ngā wawata o te whānau mō ngā mokopuna. E hāpai ana te mahere mahi i te whanake tonutanga o te kōhanga reo. Ka whakatakotohia ki te mahere ā-tau, ko te whānuitanga o ngā mahi whakahaere i te kōhanga reo me te tari, tae atu hoki ki ngā rārangi wā. Ko ētahi o aua whakaritenga, ko te arotake kaupapa here, ko ngā akoako ohotata, ko ngā hui, me ngā wā matua o ngā kaupapa pūtea. Ko te waiora o ngā mokopuna, ko tā rātou ako hoki e whakaaro nuitia ana.
Kua whakaritea e ngā kaimahi ngā tukanga e pā ana ki te whakamahere me te aromatawai. Ka mahi ngātahi rātou ki te whakamahere i te mahere ako. He whai wāhitanga mō te whānau ki te whakaputa i ō rātou whakaaro. E whai kiko ana te mahere ako, ā, he mahere ā-tau, ā-wāhanga, ā-wiki hoki. Ko te tangongitanga o ngā taumahi i tautuhia ai, e hāpai ana i te whakatinanatanga o te hōtaka, hei āta whakatau i te whai aronga o te hōtaka akoranga. Ka kapohia atu te ako me te ahu whakamua a ngā mokopuna, mā te pae matihiko o Te Aho Poutama. Ka whai pānga aua tūāhuatanga ki te ako a ngā mokopuna, me tō rātou whakawhanaketanga i roto i te roanga o te wā. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna nā te ngātahitanga o ngā whakaritenga a ngā kaimahi.
Me whakapakari i te aromātai hōtaka. Ahakoa ka hui ngā kaimahi i ia wiki, kāhore ngā tuhinga o ngā kōrerotanga e āta arotahi pū ana ki te aromātaitanga o ngā putanga ki ngā mokopuna, me ngā whakapaitanga ki te hōtaka akoranga. Ka whai hua ngā mokopuna mā te whakapakaritanga ake o ngā aronga ki te aromātai hōtaka, mō te whakapai tonutanga.
Kāhore anō kia whakatutukihia ngā akoako hōneatanga ohotata mō te rū whenua me te ahi. Me āta whakatau te whānau i te whakatutukitanga o ngā whakaritenga katoa e pā ana ki ngā akoako o te rū whenua me te ahi, ā, me tuhi hoki. Ko te noho haumaru o ngā mokopuna te mea nui.
Kāhore anō kia kitea ētahi o ngā kaupapa e pā ana ki ngā tuhinga kaimahi. Kua whakatau te whānau me Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga, ka whakawāteahia aua tuhinga hei tirohanga i te taenga atu a Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ki te kōhanga reo.
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:
te haumaru ā-whatumanawa, tae atu ki te ārahi mauritau me te ārai tamariki
te haumaru ā-tinana, tae atu ki te mātakitaki tamariki, ngā whakaritenga whakamoe, ngā aituā, te whāngai rongoā; me ngā kaupapa here, ngā tukanga hoki mō ngā haerenga whakawaho
te tū tika o ngā kaimahi, tae atu ki te tika o ngā tohu mātauranga, ngā mahi arowhai a ngā pirihimana, me te tatauranga ki waenga i te kaiako me te tamaiti
ngā whakaritenga ohotata me ngā tikanga ohotata e pā ana ki te rū whenua, te ahi, te waipuke, te tai āniwhaniwha, me te mate urutā.
Kia tutuki i te whānau ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:
āta whakatau i te noho mōhio o rātou ngā pakeke e whakarato ana i te mātauranga me te atawhai, ki ngā akoako ohotata e tika ana, ā, kia whakatutukihia aua mahi ki te taha o ngā tamariki i ia toru marama, pūputu ake noa rānei.

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. This report reflects their systems, operations and management practices. ERO’s reports provides important information for hapū and iwi.
Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōterepo is in the suburb of Waltham, Christchurch. Whānau faced several challenges following the Christchurch earthquakes of 2011. They have since moved into their new building located alongside Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Kura Whakapūmau i te reo Tūturu ki Waitaha. Whānau are dedicated to te reo Māori, te ao Māori and the seamless transition into te kura kaupapa Māori.
Whānau systems and processes support the wellbeing, learning and care of mokopuna.
Whānau have processes in place to manage most aspects of the kōhanga reo. Whānau hui are regularly attended and reporting across key operational matters is evident. Core health and safety policies and procedures are present. Registers provide good information and are completed frequently. Te Ara Tūāpae is used to inform the strategic plan. This includes the vision and aspirations whānau hold for mokopuna. An action plan supports the ongoing development of the kōhanga reo. Overall operational and administrative tasks and timelines are set out on the annual plan. These include policy review, emergency drills, hui, and key financial dates. Mokopuna wellbeing and learning is a priority.
Kaimahi have established processes for planning and assessment. They work collaboratively to plan the mahere ako. Whānau are provided opportunities to contribute and share their ideas. The mahere ako is detailed and includes annual, term and weekly plans. A range of activities identified support programme implementation to ensure the learning programme is focused. Mokopuna learning and progress is captured through the digital platform of Te Aho Poutama. These acknowledge individual mokopuna learning and development overtime. Mokopuna benefit from collaborative kaimahi practices.
Programme evaluation requires strengthening. While kaimahi hui weekly, documented discussions are not clearly focused on evaluating outcomes for mokopuna, and improvements to learning programme. Mokopuna would benefit from strengthening approaches to programme evaluation for ongoing improvement.
Emergency evacuations for earthquake and fire drills have not been carried out. Whānau must ensure all requirements for earthquake drills and fire drills are completed and recorded. Mokopuna safety is paramount.
Other matters related to personnel documentation are yet to be sighted. Whānau and ERO have agreed that documentation will be available during the onsite visit.
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.
To meet compliance requirements, they must:
ensure adults providing education and care are familiar with relevant emergency drills and carry these out with children on an at least three-monthly basis.
[Regulation 46 Education (Early Childhood Services) Regulations 2008, (HS8) Licensing criteria for kōhanga reo affiliated with the Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust 2008]
ERO recommends that whānau continue to carry out emergency evacuations for earthquake and fire on an at least three-monthly basis and have all relevant documentation for personnel matters made available during the onsite visit.

E tū ana Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōterepo ki te hapori o Linwood, i Ōtautahi. E whakahaere tonuhia ana te kōhanga reo e te whānau i ngā whare tīhokahoka, ā, nō ngā rū whenua o te tau 2011 rātou i hūnuku ai ki reira. E haere tonu ana ngā whakaritenga o mua a te Poari Matua o Ngā Kōhanga Reo ki te whakatū i ētahi whare hou mō ngā tamariki, ahakoa ngā akutōtanga. E ai ki te whānau, ko te haurokuroku i roto i te roanga o ngā tau kua pahure, e whai wāhi atu ana anō hoki ki te hēmanawatanga mō te āhua tonu o ngā wero ki te whakatupu ake i te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo.
He kaha ngā tamariki ki te whakapuaki i te manaakitanga me te atawhai i ō rātou hononga.
E āta tūhonohono ana ngā tamariki ki te ao Māori. Whai wāhi atu ai rātou i ia rā ki ngā akoranga e whakanui ana i ngā atua Māori. Ka whakapuaki ngā kaimahi i ngā kōrero tuku iho e whakamana ana i ngā whakapapa. Ka whakawhanake ngā tamariki i tō rātou mōhiotanga ki ngā atua Māori i te ao e noho nei rātou. Ahakoa te pakeke o ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi i ēnei whare, kei te mōhio tonu ngā tamariki ki ngā tūmanako e hiahiatia ana i roto i ngā mahi akuaku me te atawhai. E whakatairangatia ana ō rātou mōhiotanga ki te manaaki me te whakaute.
E ako ana, e tākaro ana hoki ngā tamariki ki tētahi taiao e hāpai ana i a rātou. Ka aro nui ngā kaimahi ki ngā matea me te waiora o ngā tamariki. Ka whakarato rātou i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo taumahi ako whakaongaonga. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā pēpi me ngā tēina ki ngā taumahi ako i whakamaheretia ai, ki te taha tonu o ngā tuākana. Ahakoa te whāiti o ngā wāhi noho me ngā wāhi putu, ka whai hua tonu ngā mahi a ngā kaimahi kia āhei ai ngā tamariki katoa ki te whiriwhiri me te tūhura takitahi. E whakaongaongatia ana ngā tamariki hei ākonga.
E whai wāhi atu ana ngā tamariki ki ngā akoranga e whakapūmau ana i ō rātou tuakiri me ō rātou aronga toi whenuatanga. Ko ētahi o ngā taumahi mā ngā tamariki i ia te wā, ko te noho tahi me te whānau hei tangata whenua. Ka whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā rautaki e whai hua ana ki te poipoi i te māramatanga o ngā tamariki ki ō rātou whakapapa me tō rātou tū hei uri o te iwi. Kei te mōhio ngā tamariki ki te tūnga whakahirahira o ngā kaumātua i tō rātou whānau. E whai hononga ana ngā tamariki, ā, ka kite hoki i tō rātou tūmāia hei ākonga.
Ka tūhura, ka whai wāhi nui hoki ngā tamariki i tō rātou hapori. Hono atu ai rātou ki te whānau whānui i te kura me ētahi atu kōhanga reo. Ka whakaritea ētahi atu haerenga mō ngā tamariki, puta noa i te tau. Ka whai wāhi atu ngā tamariki ki ngā akoranga hou e poipoi ana i te taha pākiki, ā, e whakawhānui haere ana i ngā hononga.
E whiwhi ana ngā tamariki i te whānuitanga o ngā tūmomo wheako ako reo. Ka whakapuakihia e ngā kaimahi te reo rotarota o te reo Māori hei whakatairanga ake i ngā akoranga. E whai hua ana taua rautaki ki te hāpai i te taki a ngā tamariki i ngā karakia. He pārekareka ki ngā tamariki ngā whai wāhitanga ki te ārahi i te whānau i ngā wāhanga o te ata. E whanake ana te tūmāia o ngā tamariki me tō rātou āheinga ki te tūhonohono mā te reo Māori.
Kāhore te taiao tonu o ngā tamariki e hāpai ana i te whānuitanga o ō rātou matea ako me te atawhai i a rātou. E kōkiri tonuhia ana ngā mahi e te whānau ahakoa te pā tōraro o te wāhi ki te tuku māhorahora nei i ngā tamariki ki te tūhura me te whakahura i tō rātou wāhi ake ki te kōhanga reo. Kua tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga aua tūāhuatanga hei take āwangawanga mō te noho o ngā tamariki. Tāpiri atu ki tēnei, kāhore te wāhi me ngā rauhanga o tēnei wā e hāpai ana i te moe pai me te tākaro haumaru o ngā pēpi. Ko te wāhi mahi o te whānau, kāhore e tika ana mō te whakataka kai. Kei te nui ake aua raru nā ngā wero tonu i pā ki a rātou i roto i ngā tau kua pahure ake nei. Kāhore i a rātou te tikanga mō te āhua o aua taumahatanga e pā tōraro ana ki a rātou te whānau o te kōhanga reo, me ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki.
Ko te waiora me te haumaru o ngā tamariki te aronga matua a te whānau. Tū ai ngā hui i ia marama, ā, nā taua tūāhuatanga he pakari anō hoki te aroturuki i ngā wāhanga katoa o te kōhanga reo. He mārama ngā tūmanako mō te mahi pūrongo, tae atu ki ngā pūtea me Te Whāriki, hei painga mō ngā tamariki. Kua whakahoungia te tūtohinga e te whānau, ā, ka whakatakotohia ki ia hui te arotakenga o ngā kaupapa here.
Ka whakamaheretia, ka whakaatuhia, ka āta whakaarohia hoki ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki. E whakamahi ana ngā kaimahi i tētahi angamahi whakamahere i āta whakatakotohia ai, ā, kua whakahāngaitia ki Te Whāriki. He mahi ngātahi te mahi whakamahere. E whakaarohia ana ngā ngākau nuitanga me ngā matea o ngā rōpū ākonga katoa.
Ka taea te whakapakari ake ngā hononga e pā ana ki ngā akoranga a ngā tamariki, mā te aromatawai. Kāhore i te tino mārama ngā hononga ki waenga i ngā kaupapa i whakamaheretia ai, ngā whāinga ako, me ngā akoranga e whakatutukihia ana e ia tamaiti. Ko te whakapai ake i aua tūāhuatanga i roto i ngā mahi aromatawai, ka whakapakari ake i ngā hononga ki waenga i ngā mahere me te whakawhanaketanga o te ākonga.
Me aro ake ngā hui kaimahi ki te whakawhiti whakaaro mō ngā hōtaka, ngā rauemi, me ngā whakaritenga e whai hua ai, hei āta hāpai ake i ngā rōpū tamariki. Ko taua aronga ki ngā hui kaimahi, ka whakahāngai ake i te titiro ki ngā tino whakaritenga e whai hua ana ki ngā tamariki.
Kua āta whakaritea te tukanga arohaehae a te whānau. Kua pā ētahi take nui ki te whānau, ā, he taumahatanga tēnei i tahuri atu ai i te whānau i ngā mahi pērā i te arohaehae kaimahi. E akiaki ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i te whakatinanatanga o te arohaehae.
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 tāutuhia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga ngā wāhanga kāhore e tutuki ana e ai ki te ture. Kia tutuki i te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā herenga ā-ture, me tahuri rātou ki te:
I whakawhanakehia e Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me te whānau o te kōhanga reo ngā taunakitanga e whai ake nei, arā, kia:
Ka aromātai anō Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga i Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōterepo i roto i te kotahi tau.

Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōterepo is in the suburb of Linwood, Christchurch. Whānau continue to operate from temporary buildings that they were placed in during the 2011 earthquakes. Past plans by Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust (TKRNT) for new buildings for children continue with delays. The whānau report sustained uncertainty over these years compound frustration with ongoing challenges to grow the kōhanga reo kaupapa.
Children positively demonstrate caring and nurturing relationships.
Children make meaningful connections to te ao Māori. They participate in daily learning that acknowledges atua Māori. Kaimahi share stories that reinforce whakapapa. Children develop an awareness of atua Maori in their living world. Despite restrictions placed on kaimahi with the existing facilities, children are familiar with expectations for hygiene and care. Their awareness about care and respect is heightened.
Children learn and play in a supportive environment. Kaimahi are responsive to the needs and wellbeing of children. They provide a range of stimulating learning activities. Pēpi and teina participate alongside tuakana in planned learning activities. Kaimahi make the most of existing restrictions to space and storage so that all children can self-select and explore with independence. Children are stimulated as learners.
Children experience learning that reinforce identity and belonging. Regular activities provided to children include participation alongside whānau as tangata whenua. Kaimahi use effective strategies to foster children’s understanding about their whakapapa and tribal identity. Children are familiar with the significant role of kaumātua within the whānau. Children are connected and show confidence as learners.
Children explore and interact with the local community. They regularly connect with the wider whānau at the local kura and other kōhanga reo. Regular haerenga are planned for children throughout the year. Children experience new learning that fosters curiosity and broadens connections.
Children receive a range of language learning experiences. Kamahi include te reo Māori rotarota to enhance learning. This strategy effectively prompts children to reciting karakia. Children enjoy opportunities to lead the whānau in morning sessions. Children are developing confidence and ability to make connections with te reo Māori.
Children’s physical environment is not conducive to their diverse learning needs and care. The whānau have continued to operate in less than desirable conditions that impede on children’s freedom to explore and discover in their immediate space at the kōhanga reo. ERO has identified these as concerns for children. In addition, existing space and facilities do not provide for un-interrupted sleep and safe play for pēpi. The whānau work in unacceptable conditions for preparing kai. These concerns are compounded by further challenges that they have experienced over the past years. The kōhanga reo whānau and children’s learning is negatively impacted on by conditions out of their control.
Children’s wellbeing and safety are a priority for the whānau. Regular monthly hui maintains good monitoring across all areas of the kōhanga reo. There are clear expectations for reporting including finance and Te Whāriki for children. The tūtohinga has been updated by the whānau with the review of policies tabled at every hui.
Children’s learning is planned, shared and considered. Kaimahi use a well-established planning framework that aligns to Te Whāriki. The planning process is collective. The interests and needs of all groups of learners are recognised.
Stronger connections about children’s learning can be made through assessment. Links between planned kaupapa, learning goals and actual learning for individuals are not clear. These improvements to assessment practice can tighten the links between planning and learner development.
Greater attention is needed at kaimahi hui to discuss programmes, provisions and practices that are effective and need improvement for groups of children. This focus at kaimahi hui will maintain focus on best practice for children.
The whānau has a well-established process for appraisal in place. Significant events have had an emotional toll on whānau which has focused attention away from matters including kaimahi appraisal. ERO encourages the implementation of appraisal.
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 identified areas of non-compliance. In order for the kōhanga reo whānau to meet compliance requirements they need to:
ERO and the Kōhanga Reo whānau developed the following recommendation:
The next ERO evaluation of Te Kōhanga Reo o Ōterepo will be within one year.
