ERO review

Akarangi · 2025-03-03

Daycare Near Me's analysis of the ERO report — six dimensions with verbatim quotes (methodology).
Curriculum & learning
B
"The curriculum effectively recognises and builds on the knowledge that children and whānau bring to the service. Each term an individual learning plan is developed for each child that takes into account whānau and teacher-identified interests."

Effective curriculum with individual learning plans; group planning links to interests need strengthening.
