ERO review

Akarangi · 2025-05-01

Daycare Near Me's analysis of the ERO report — six dimensions with verbatim quotes (methodology).
Curriculum & learning
↑A
"Leaders and kaiako demonstrate understanding that assessment should promote holistic learning and development. Care is an integral part of the curriculum, particularly for infants and toddlers. This is underpinned by leaders and kaiako implementing the principles and strands of Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum."

Holistic assessment and Te Whāriki principles consistently embedded throughout.

Bicultural practice
↑B

Tikanga embedded but strengthening te reo Māori use identified as next step.
