ERO review

Education Review · 2024-05-15

Daycare Near Me's analysis of the ERO report — six dimensions with verbatim quotes (methodology).
Curriculum & learning
B
"Kaimahi have in place effective processes for programme planning. They have embraced a marau developed by ngā taikura o Te Whānau a Apanui, ngā pākeke o Te Whānau ā Hikarukutai and te whānau o Te Kōhanga Reo. The mahere ako incorporates year, term and monthly planning according to Te Maramataka o Te Ahi Kaa. Planning is purposeful and shows links to the hapū and iwi history. Mokopuna benefit from a learning programme that is meaningful, tailored to their needs and embedded in kōrero tuku iho."

Effective planning processes; purposeful, culturally embedded programme design.

Children's wellbeing
B
"Mokopuna appear happy and settled in their relationships, fostering a sense of connection within their whānau, hapū, iwi and taiao."

Children demonstrate happiness, settlement, and strong sense of belonging and connection.

Whānau partnership

Not explicitly evaluated in this review.

Bicultural practice
A
"Mokopuna thrive in an environment which reflects learning that is specific to their Apanuitanga. Te Hāhi Ringatū plays an integral role in the learning programme. Kaimahi, whānau and mokopuna join Te Kura o Maraenui for karakia every morning. Kaimahi guide mokopuna to uphold the tikanga and kawa of the iwi in everyday practices. The surrounding area and ākau are an important part of mokopuna learning experiences. They embark on visits to significant landmarks such as local marae, kura and maara kai where they listen to ngā kōrero tuku iho of the area."

Te reo Māori embedded throughout; tikanga practised daily; mana whenua relationships strong.
