We expect it  will become an important resource for parents and early childhood educators.

 

E koe koe te tui, e ketekete te kaka, e kuku te kereru.
The tui sings, the kaka chatters and the pigeon coos.

 – This is a reflection of the richness diversity brings.(Whakatauki - Maori proverb).

 

Our vision for this website is:

 

To provide early childhood teachers with up to date research, information and links to other services which will assist them in their work with children and families from different ethnic, linguistic and socio-cultural backgrounds.

 

To provide relevant information for parents that will assist with their children’s education and well-being.

 

To enhance the quality of early childhood education in New Zealand by ensuring that children, parents and teachers have access to appropriate multi-cultural educational resources and support services.
