Glenbrook Kindergarten

"Teachers regularly assess children's learning. Some assessments reflect children's backgrounds. Teachers have improved assessments to include more of a focus on individual learning, analysis of observations and identifying children's dispositions for learning."

Sound assessment practices developing; Te Whāriki engagement evident but still embedding.

"Children are supported to be confident and engaged in their learning. They demonstrate a sound sense of belonging and are friendly and communicative as they approach friends, teachers and visitors."

Children show confident engagement and strong sense of belonging; sound wellbeing support.

"Teachers welcome all children, their whānau and visitors. Parents enjoy opportunities to stay and settle their children. Parents who spoke with ERO talked about their satisfaction with children's experiences and participation in the kindergarten programme."

Positive parent engagement; welcoming environment; parent satisfaction evident.

"All early childhood services are required to promote children's health and safety and to regularly review their compliance with legal requirements."

Legal compliance affirmed through assurance processes; systems for managing high-impact safety areas in place.

"Leaders and teachers are engaging with Te Whāriki, the revised early childhood curriculum. They are exploring learning priorities at the kindergarten, and with parents, whānau and children."

Collaborative leadership engaging with Te Whāriki; professional learning evident; strategic support from CMKA.
