Research shows that high-quality early childhood education (ECE) has significant and lasting benefits for young children. The Government's vision is for all New Zealand children to have the opportunity to participate in high-quality early childhood education.  ECE in New Zealand has a world-leading curriculum, Te Whāriki .

There is a wide variety of early childhood education services, including both parent-led and teacher-led services. Teacher-led services include privately owned or not-for-profit community-based services that provide both sessional and all-day programmes, such as a crèche or kindergarten. Parent-led services include Playcentres and certified playgroups.

Another feature of ECE services in New Zealand is that they may have a particular language and cultural focus such as kōhanga, Puna Reo and Aoga Amata. Other services have a specific set of beliefs about teaching and learning, for example, Rudolph Steiner and Montessori.

There is also home-based education and care for groups of up to 4 children aged birth to 5 years in either the educator’s home or the child's home. Each educator must belong to an approved home-based service, which provides support through a coordinator who is a qualified and certificated ECE teacher.

The Correspondence School Te Kura provides distance early childhood education for young children who are unable to attend a service because of isolation, illness, special learning needs, or other special circumstances. Te Kura also only employs qualified and registered teachers.

The benchmark qualification for New Zealand qualified early childhood teachers is a Bachelor of Teaching (Early Childhood Education), a Diploma of Teaching (Early Childhood Education), or an equivalent early childhood teaching qualification at Level 7 or above recognised by the Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand for certification purposes.

ECE remuneration varies greatly. Salaries may be covered by a collective agreement or negotiated on an individual basis.

EDUCATION.govt.nz For parents and whānau Practical information about education for parents and carers

Early learning 0–6 years old

Different kinds of early learning services.

There are all sorts of early learning services and kōhanga reo available in New Zealand.

They can be ‘teacher-led’, 'whānau-led' or ‘parent-led’.

‘Teacher-led’ means 50% of the adults who educate and care for children must be qualified and certificated as early learning services teachers. A teacher-led early learning service is licensed. This means they must meet standards set by the Government for the property, health and safety, staff, education and care programmes, and management of the service.

‘Whānau-led' or 'parent-led’ means parents, whānau or caregivers are involved in educating and caring for the children. These services recognise the importance of parent and whānau training and involvement. Families and whānau have the opportunity to learn more about parenting, develop social and community networks and build greater confidence, as well as lead the education and care of their children.

All early learning services and kōhanga reo are licensed or certificated by the Ministry of Education. This means that they must meet minimum standards of education and care to operate.

Teacher-led early learning services

Kindergartens.

Most kindergartens accept children between 2 and 5 years and can have set morning and afternoon sessions for different age groups. Some also offer all-day education and care or part-day sessions.

Kindergartens are managed by a Kindergarten Association and have 100% qualified and certificated ECE teachers. They work closely with children's families and whānau.

Education and care services

Education and care services run all-day sessions, or flexible-hour programmes for children from birth to primary school age.

Education and care services can be privately owned, owned and operated by a community group, or operated in an organisation for employees with young children. Some have a particular language and cultural focus, others have a specific set of beliefs about teaching and learning, for example, Rudolph Steiner and Montessori.

Home-based education and care

Home-based education and care is provided for groups of up to 4 children aged birth to 5 years in either the educator’s home or the child's home. Each educator must belong to a home-based service, which provides support through a coordinator who is a qualified and certificated ECE teacher.

Te Kura (the Correspondence School)

Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu - The Correspondence School (Te Kura) - offers learning programmes for children aged between 3 and 5 years who can't attend an early learning service or kōhanga reo. Te Kura's early learning educators work with parents, whānau and caregivers to meet a child's early learning needs. They also have a range of books, puzzles, games and art materials you can borrow.

Whānau-led services

Te kōhanga reo.

Te Kōhanga Reo offers a Māori immersion environment for tamariki and their whānau, and caters to tamariki from birth to school age.

The following key goals are the foundation of te kōhanga reo kaupapa established in 1982:

• total immersion in te reo Māori me ōna tikanga in daily operations
• whānau decision-making, management and responsibility
• accountability
• health and wellbeing of mokopuna and whānau.

The key goals of te kōhanga reo assure that there will be:

• security in te reo Māori
• a supportive, caring environment for mokopuna
• whānau (collective) sharing of responsibilities, knowledge and expertise
• greater respect and appreciation of each other.

Parent-led services

Playcentres.

Playcentres cater for children from birth to school age, and are run cooperatively by parents and member families.

Playcentres are part of a regional association for management and programme support. Regional associations are managed by the New Zealand Playcentre Federation.

Playgroups are community-based groups run by parent and whānau volunteers. Sessions are held regularly for no more than 4 hours per day and are often set up in community halls. To be a playgroup, more than half the children attending must have a parent there with them. Playgroups are not licensed, although they may be certificated in order to receive government funding. Parents and whānau who run the sessions receive information, support and training from the Ministry of Education.

Ngā Puna Kōhungahunga

These are playgroups that encourage learning in and through te reo Māori and tikanga.

Pacific Island Playgroups

These are playgroups in Pasifika languages and cultures including Samoan, Tongan, Cook Island, Niuean, Tokelauan, Tuvaluan and Fijian.

Preschool care and education

Early childhood education (ECE) provides education and care for children before they are old enough to go to primary school. ECE is not compulsory.

Most children in New Zealand (95%) get some form of early childhood education, usually for 20-22 hours a week. For three and four-year-olds, the first 20 hours per week are fully funded by the government.

There are no term breaks in the ECE system, so they also work through school holiday times.

Various government bodies set a national curriculum, ensure standards are maintained in every ECE centre, and control teacher quality.

Early childhood education in NZ | Ministry of Education

Register your child

New Zealand has lots of ECE services, but demand is high. Places can be hard to get, especially in the bigger cities and towns. So check early that the pre-school you are interested in has room for your child.

ECE curriculum

The ECE curriculum aims to:

• build on your child's interests and abilities
• provide a chance for children to learn and experience new things
• help children be ready for school and do better when they get there.

The ECE sector’s curriculum framework has the Māori name Te Whāriki, which means "woven mat". There is full information about Te Whāriki on the Ministry of Education’s website.

Te Whāriki | Ministry of Education

Pre-school choices

There are over 5,000 childcare and pre-school facilities around the country. They fall into two main groups:

• kindergartens
• education and care services
• home-based services
• Te Kura (the Correspondence School playgroups).
• Playcentres and Kōhanga Reo (centres catering for young children in a Māori cultural environment), both of which must be licensed
• Playgroups, which may or may not be government certified
• Puna kōhungahunga (Māori-focused playgroups)
• Pacific Island-focused playgroups

Choosing a pre-school

There is a helpful guide for the parents of pre-school age children available from the Education Review Office (ERO). This is a government body responsible for overseeing quality in early childhood centres (as well as primary and secondary schools). Licensed and certificated early learning services must meet minimum standards of education and care to operate. 

There are a range of options available to parents and whānau (family) that offer different types of early learning services, hours, and prices. Each service type has its own way of working with children and their parents and whānau. Some offer all day education and care, some only part day. 

The guide looks at:

• what types of early childhood education services are available
• how to choose one for your child
• what to look for in an early childhood education
• key questions to ask when you visit a service
• how to help your child settle into pre-school
• how early childhood education is regulated.

The ERO also regularly checks early childhood education centres. They publish their reports online so you can look up their review of a centre you may be considering for your child.

Keeping in touch with what your child is learning

There are no tests or formal assignments in New Zealand’s early childhood education system. Instead, we use photos, ‘learning stories’ and work samples to show parents and other teachers how children are progressing.

Most ECE centres have digital cameras and webcams. Children can choose what to take pictures of and parents can see what has been happening throughout the day. All ECE services collect examples of children’s work and play, eg in a book or portfolio, and write regular summaries about what each child has been learning.

Parents see and talk about their child’s progress with teachers regularly. When your child finishes their pre-school education you will receive a record of their learning that you can share with their teachers in the next level primary school.

Te Whāriki sets out the curriculum in New Zealand early learning services and provides guidance on how a service can implement the curriculum. 

Te Whāriki intercepts curriculum broadly and includes all the experiences, activities and events that happen during early learning. Te Whāriki's principles, goals and learning outcomes prioritises the child and emphasises respectful, reciprocal and responsive relationships. 

There are no tests or formal assessments at early learning services. Instead, children's progress is recorded in profile books which are made up of their work and regular summaries about what each child has been learning. This learning record is available to parents and children, who take learning services and they move onto school or kura. 

Parents’ involvement

The everyday things you do at home with your child helps their learning. Early learning happens everywhere and all the time. Parents and whānau are encouraged to take an interest and help connect learning at their child's early learning service with what goes on at home. How much you get involved is up to you. 

You will be welcome to visit your child’s early education centre to talk to teachers or, preferably, actively join in and share the experience. You will also be invited to share information about your family and culture with teachers, children and other families.

Your child's early learning service should regularly talk with you about how your child is doing, what their interests and abilities are, and involve you in making decisions about your child. Talking openly with your child's educators will help you learn more about how the early learning service is run and helps educators or whānau and communities who are part of your child's life. 

ECE centres also run parent evenings and various other special events.

The Ministry of Education has advice for parents on how they can assist their children to settle in when they begin ECE.

Settling children in to ECE | Ministry of Education

Cost of early childhood education

Early learning services may charge fees. Check with your service about their fees and enrolment conditions.

The New Zealand Government subsidises all children who attend early learning services for up to six hours a day (a total of 30 hours per week), up until children go to school or turn six. Children aged 3, 4 and 5 years old, who are enrolled in an early learning service, can receive a higher funding subsidy called 20 Hours ECE. 

20 Hours ECE enables services to provide early learning for up to 6 hours a day and 20 hours per week without charging fees. Ask your early learning service if they offer 20 Hours ECE.

Availability.

Our distance learning courses are offered throughout the year to help you fit study around your work and life commitments. Courses are offered up to 12 times per year depending on demand and availability of academic staff. Exact start dates are in the course information pages and in our Enrolment dates page:

• Course costs   can be found on all course pages.  The fees may increase annually.
• Qualification cost  – to give you an idea of how much a qualification may cost in total over the duration of your studies, an approximate cost is provided for many of our qualifications. This is based on the required number of courses to complete the qualification and the average cost of those courses. It does not include annual administration fees, text books and course materials or external exam fees, and is subject to annual course fee increases. 

Courses are assigned credits depending on how much time and effort is needed to complete their learning outcomes. In general, each credit represents approximately 10 hours of study time.

Delivery method

• Online  – The course materials for online courses are delivered in an online format and all assignments are submitted online.
• Mixed  – These courses are delivered using a mix of online and paper based course materials. This may include receiving paper course materials, submitting  assignments online, or being required to participate in online forums and learning activities.
• Print Only  - The course will be delivered using paper based courses materials, and assignments may need to be submitted in hard copy rather than online. This will depend on the course.

Whether courses are delivered online, on paper or a mixture of both, there may also be components such as workshops, noho marae, work experience and practicum to participate in. To find out what your course involves check the course information page.

EFTS stands for equivalent full-time student . An EFTS is the study time required for each course and is used by the Tertiary Education Commission to decide if a course is part-time or full-time. 

One year of full-time study is generally between 0.8 and 1.2 EFTS.

You can tell how hard a course or qualification is by the level it is set at:

• Levels 1-4 are about the same as secondary school and basic trades training.
• Levels 5-7 are the same as university study.

Prerequisites

• Prerequisites are courses that must be completed before another course can be studied. 
• Co-requisites are courses that can be studied at the same time as another course.

If a course has a specific prerequisite or co-requisite course, it will be listed on the course page under the title 'Prerequisites'. If no courses are listed, check the entry and other requirements under the qualification you are studying for. Some courses require you to have studied at a particular level prior to enrolling.

Not all qualifications or students are eligible for student loans. You will need to meet criteria such as studying a minimum number of credits over a specific study period. It is up to you to apply for a student loan via StudyLink - Open Polytechnic does not do this for you.

Information about student loans and eligibility

StudyLink website

Teaching weeks

Teaching weeks is the number of weeks that we teach a course. This differs from the enrolment period, which is based on the course start and end dates.

For example, a 20-week enrolment period will have 16 teaching weeks, followed by four weeks to accommodate marking, any extensions and reassessments, or exams.

The workload estimate given on a course page is calculated like this:

Number of credits x 10, divided by the number of teaching weeks for the course. The hours will be rounded up to nearest whole number.

Please note, this is a guide only. You may need more or less time for study, and you may also need to do more hours during assessment due dates or exams times.

NZTC Publishes New Early Childhood Education Research

New Zealand Tertiary College (NZTC) has released a new issue of its early childhood education e-journal, He Kupu (The Word).

With a global readership of over 11,000, the journal provides the sector with an important resource for professional development as academics and educators provide expertise on a variety of subjects.

It also provides students with a valuable pathway for research and publication as they develop their own knowledge and teaching style.

He Kupu editor and NZTC Academic Dean, Dr Sean Dolan, says that understanding and applying new research to teaching practices within an ECE centre is an important aspect of work as an early childhood educator.

“Through combining theories with practice, student teachers and educators can make informed decisions, reflect on their teaching, and continuously improve their skills in the classroom.”

The new issue, Bridging Theory and Practice , applies a range of concepts to an array of early childhood teaching situations to support professionals in their everyday activities – from working with special needs children and their parents to mentoring other teachers.

NZTC lecturer Joy McLelland highlights how both digital and non-digital technology can be used alongside cognitive development theories to create meaningful learning opportunities, while Dr Devika Rathore reviews a valuable ECE resource on rhymes and storytelling.

Are you getting our free newsletter?

Rachael Burke, an academic from Toi Ohomai, shares her research into the perceptions of children held by beginner teachers from migrant backgrounds, and how their cultural beliefs shape their interactions with tamariki, whānau, and their colleagues.

“The articles in this issue have the potential to positively impact the lives of both children and educators by deepening understanding and enhancing teaching strategies,” says Dolan.
