ERO review
Akarangi · 2024-07-18
"Teachers and educators maximise opportunities to include literacy, mathematics and science through play in everyday activities."
Intentional teaching through play evident; Te Whāriki philosophy embedded in service.
"There is good support provided to children as they initially settle into educators' homes and then move on to school."
Good transitions and settling practices; positive relationships documented.
"Open communication is evident between the owner, coordinator, educators and families. This includes opportunities for coordinators and educators to review the quality of education and care in the homes. Parents share their aspirations for their children's learning and give positive feedback about the education and care, and their children's experiences."
Regular communication and positive parent feedback; responsiveness to family aspirations.
"A priority for coordinators and educators is to build their understanding of practices that reflect the dual heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand."
Development needed; identified as priority to strengthen te ao Māori and te reo Māori use.
"Health and safety practices are monitored."
Systems in place; one non-compliance identified and addressed post-review.
"Effective management and leadership underpin service operations. The philosophy and strategic direction of the service is well understood at all levels of the organisation. Robust recruitment, induction and appraisal processes are evident."
Effective leadership; clear philosophy; professional development supported; appraisal systems established.
