"Kaimahi have established effective processes for planning, assessment and programme evaluation. They collectively work from a basis of whanaungatanga as they plan the learning programme and monitor mokopuna learning. Planning is informed by Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo and encompasses learning objectives and outcomes for mokopuna. Year, term and weekly plans include a variety of age-appropriate activities and resources to support implementation. Kaimahi use mātai i te tamaiti to systematically identify and monitor mokopuna progress and development overtime."
