Whether you are an early childhood educator (ECE), or the parent or caregiver of an under 5, we’ve got your learning needs covered.
Check out how we can help you, through professional development, touring performers, transition-to-school, resources and other ECE related support services below.
Our role is to fill the gaps around learning, based on what you need. Some examples to give a flavour of what this can look like include:
Life science (including Maori concepts)
Digital technology and curriculum
Te Reo Maori, tikanga, and waiata
Cultural pedagogy and learning support
Child wellness, development, and behaviour
Teacher professional development
Facilitating/brokering groups and networks
ECE-related support services
Family Support provides a central point where Murupara families can access a range of services including ante-natal care, Well Child health checks and immunisation programmes, and quality childcare and education for under sixes
Kōrero Ngātahi is a home-based programme that supports parents in becoming actively involved in the learning of their two to six-year-old children across the Eastern bay.
Specialist facilitators of te reo and tikanga Māori, carpentry, art, storytelling and permaculture and many other topics – tell us what you need and we will help you find it
Community Playgroups offer parent-inclusive early childhood learning spaces (including mobile service options!). A qualified ECE facilitator provides quality learning activities that non-participating children under 5 can engage in. This is a great space for those whanau that aren't sure what ECE options they should use.
