Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Atawhai

"Kaimahi use a variety of effective language strategies to encourage mokopuna language development. These include waiata, prompts, repetition, and instruction. Mokopuna learn about the structure and purpose of language through pepehā and an extensive range of waiata, himene and kori tinana."

Effective, well-established language pedagogy with multiple intentional strategies.

"Mokopuna eagerly participate in experiences that nurture their wellbeing and foster a sense of belonging within their te ao Māori settings. Routines provide mokopuna with consistent and predictable practices. Kaimahi often praise mokopuna to recognise their efforts and achievements. Mokopuna show a sense of belonging in their kōhanga reo."

Strong sense of belonging, emotional safety, and social-emotional outcomes demonstrated.
