ERO review
Education Review · 2019-12-10
This review predates ERO's current 4-point placement scale (introduced 2020). The overall judgement is omitted; the per-dimension grades below are extracted from the review prose and remain comparable.
"The learning environment is well resourced and purposefully set up to support the learning outcomes valued by the kindergarten community for children."

"Children are effectively supported to develop their communication and social skills. Teachers attend carefully to children's non-verbal and verbal communication."

"New Zealand's indigenous Māori culture is evident in the learning environment. Children hear te reo Māori throughout the programme and participate in learning experiences that build their knowledge and understanding of Māori culture. Teachers are building and sharing their understandings of the Māori values and principles in the early childhood curriculum Te Whāriki. The next step will be to make these more evident in the kindergarten's philosophy and in assessment and planning."
Te reo present; next steps to embed Māori values in philosophy and planning
