ERO review
Akarangi · 2022-09-05
"Kaiako are increasingly intentional in using the learning outcomes from Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum. They have yet to fully embed and use assessment information to evaluate how well the curriculum is helping them achieve priorities for learning."
Intentional Te Whāriki use evident; assessment integration still developing
"Children, including infants and toddlers, benefit from unhurried routines in a calm environment. Kaiako are responsive to their individual cues. Children have good opportunities to explore and become involved in a wide range of learning experiences."

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Just Kids Community Preschool 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.
