Education Review · 2025-12-09
"Kaiako have not yet collaborated with their parent community to identify the learning that is valued to inform the development of the local curriculum. Culturally responsive practices are not strongly evident in the curriculum."
Responsive learning present but assessment, planning, evaluation need improvement; bicultural curriculum developing.
"Children experience a flexible, responsive curriculum where their preferences are respected by kaiako. They support children to grow their social competence and engage in focused play alongside their friends. Kaiako are attentive to the communication and cues of infants and toddlers and use a calm, child-led approach to their care and learning. Management and kaiako actively promote the wellbeing of children and their families, including identifying and removing barriers to their participation."
Strong child-led care, responsive relationships, active wellbeing promotion across age groups.

"Culturally responsive practices are not strongly evident in the curriculum. There are plans in place to: develop a localised bicultural programme in liaison with local iwi and whānau Māori work with whānau Māori and Pacific families to better understand how to promote success for their children better reflect the rich cultural diversity of this learning community in the environment, documentation and everyday interactions."
Plans established; bicultural practice and cultural responsiveness still emerging and not yet evident.

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Educare Kāpiti hasn't been graded on a dimension, the composite uses the national average for that dimension as a placeholder. Each affected axis below is flagged est. When a new ERO review lands, the placeholder is replaced and the score may shift.
The composite is a weighted average of six ERO dimensions, each scored 0–100 (A=90, B=70, C=50, D=25). The "(p47)" style suffix shows where the centre sits within its EQI band (peer percentile, when ≥10 comparable centres in band). See methodology for the formula + limits.
