Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Timatanga Hou ki Whakatane

"Kaimahi plan the learning programme collaboratively. They identify age-appropriate activities that support mokopuna learning and development through play. Kaimahi have identified learning intentions and relevant strategies to support these."

Collaborative planning and learning intentions evident, but assessment practices need strengthening.

"Personnel management and health and safety policies and procedures have been reviewed and align to current legislative requirements. Emergency drills are conducted regularly and are reported to whānau."

Policies align to legislation and emergency drills regular; comprehensive systems in place.

"The tūtohinga provides a foundation for whānau management of the kōhanga reo. It aligns to Te Korowai and affirms the connections to Ngāti Awa. The strategic plan identifies priorities for the whānau including, increasing the roll, building external relationships, and encouraging whānau participation. An action plan identifies tasks to achieve the identified priorities."

Strategic direction and whānau-centred governance evident; internal evaluation practices need strengthening.
