Te Kōhanga Reo o Te Whānau Tahi

"Planning, mokopuna assessment, and programme evaluation are well embedded. Collaborative planning draws on seasonal influences, te taiao, atua Māori, and Te Whāriki a Te Kōhanga Reo, informing clearly structured long-term, termly, and weekly plans that ensure coherence and relevance for each age group."

Exemplary integrated planning using Te Whāriki, assessment tracking, and collaborative programme evaluation.

"The programme nurtures mokopuna tuakiritanga and holistic wellbeing. Mokopuna engage in formal welcoming protocols, demonstrating manaakitanga. Karakia, waiata, pao, haka, and takaporepore energise the wairua, tinana, and hinengaro, reinforcing spiritual and physical wellbeing."

Strong holistic wellbeing support with spiritual, physical, and emotional dimensions consistently nurtured.

"Whanaungatanga is deeply embedded in the collaborative whānau whakahaere within the kōhanga reo. There is a strong sense of shared responsibility and intergenerational commitment with many being graduates themselves, now actively contributing as whānau, kaumātua, and committee members. Whānau hui are well attended and minutes reflect collective decision-making and transparency across all areas of operations."

Strong whānau engagement, collaborative decision-making, transparent governance, and intergenerational involvement throu

"Mokopuna learn in an environment that strongly promotes whanaungatanga through the meaningful integration of te reo Māori and nurturing relationships. Te reo Māori is consistently and meaningfully woven throughout learning. Kaimahi model fluent and diverse mita, enabling mokopuna to recognise and use te reo Māori in varying contexts."

Exemplary te reo Māori integration throughout, fluent kaimahi modelling, and culturally grounded pedagogy.

"The strategic plan aligns with Te Ara Tūāpae with a core focus on their te reo Māori strategy that promotes language development for mokopuna, kaimahi, and whānau. The appraisal process supports kaimahi growth and individualised professional development plans."

Clear strategic direction aligned with Te Ara Tūāpae, robust professional learning, and individual development focus.
