ERO REPORTS
Independent ERO review highlights
The Education Review Office independently evaluates early learning services across Aotearoa New Zealand. We value this process and use both the recognised strengths and improvement priorities to keep developing the care and education we provide.
Co Kids Lincoln Road, Auckland
ERO found that children are supported to develop confidence, social skills and a strong sense of belonging in a calm, unhurried environment.
Teachers respond to the verbal and non-verbal cues of infants, while established relationships with parents and whānau help reflect children’s individual cultures, languages and learning needs. Co Kids also works with families and external agencies to support children with additional learning needs.
