Te Manaaki Preschool
Education & Care
22 Peter Lippa Drive, Monika Reserve · Kawerau District
Te Manaaki Preschool is an education and care service for 50 children at Monika Reserve in Kawerau District. Our analysis of the ERO report identified strengths in children's wellbeing (warm relationships and responsive caregiving with infants and toddlers) and health and safety (legal compliance affirmed; prior non-compliance on excursion records addressed), alongside a development area in leadership and governance (owner's dual role limits focus on strategic improvement and policy development).

Composite score
How this is computedOne or more dimensions missing from ERO data
Where Te Manaaki Preschool hasn't been graded on a dimension, the composite uses the national average for that dimension as a placeholder. Each affected axis below is flagged est. When a new ERO review lands, the placeholder is replaced and the score may shift.
The composite is a weighted average of six ERO dimensions, each scored 0–100 (A=90, B=70, C=50, D=25). The "(p47)" style suffix shows where the centre sits within its EQI band (peer percentile, when ≥10 comparable centres in band). See methodology for the formula + limits.
