Children's wellbeing

Whānau partnership
B
"Parents and whānau have established very good systems to manage the centre, grow kaiako leadership capabilities, and maintain effective communication with all families. They collectively make decisions for operating the centre at monthly meetings, and meet each term for indepth planning, assessment, and evaluation of children's learning."

Excellent family involvement in centre management and decision-making; strong systems established.

Bicultural practice
↓C
"Members' commitment to bicultural practices is visible in displays. This could be extended to reflect the growing cultural diversity of families in the centre."

Bicultural practices visible but inconsistent; opportunity to strengthen and broaden cultural responsiveness.
