ERO review

Akarangi · 2023-10-16

Daycare Near Me's analysis of the ERO report — six dimensions with verbatim quotes (methodology).
Curriculum & learning
B
"Leaders and teachers actively promote the shared philosophy and Christian values in the curriculum. Children experience relationships with teachers that are reciprocal and responsive to children as confident and competent learners. Space and time are provided for children to lead their own learning."

Effective teaching relationships and child-led learning evident; Te Whāriki outcomes integration developing.

Children's wellbeing

Not explicitly evaluated in this review.

Whānau partnership

Not explicitly evaluated in this review.

Bicultural practice
C
"Children have some opportunities to learn about the bicultural heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand. The learning environment is resourced in ways that support Māori language, culture and identity. Teachers are yet to actively integrate and use meaningful te reo Māori and pūrākau across the breadth of the curriculum."

Resources available but te reo Māori integration inconsistent; identified area for improvement.

Health & safety
