Te Kōhanga Reo o Ngāpeke

"Kaimahi use mokopuna interests as the context for language learning. These include role modelling, translating, prompting and praise. Mokopuna learn about the structure and purpose of language through waiata and karakia."

Intentional language teaching through interests; assessment practices need formalising.

"Mokopuna relationships and learning are fostered and nurtured in a supportive learning environment. Kaimahi ensure values of manaaki, awhi and tautoko underpin all interactions in the kōhanga reo. They know their mokopuna intimately and respond appropriately to their needs."

Strong relationships, supportive environment, responsive kaimahi; confidence evident.

"Whanaungatanga is integral to whānau whakahaere practices. Whānau meet regularly and information is shared and provides opportunities for whānau to contribute and make informed decisions."

Regular whānau meetings, shared information, decision-making opportunities established.

"Core health and safety policies are reviewed to ensure mokopuna wellness is a priority. An annual plan ensures administrative tasks are completed in a timely manner."

Policies reviewed; wellness prioritised; administrative systems in place.
