Bachelor [Teacher Education (Early Childhood)] From Victoria University of Wellington

Early childhood is a distinct and critical time in the lives of children when care and education are inseparably linked. Children and families benefit from access to quality early childhood education, and the whole community benefits from having well-educated and qualified teachers who reflect the diverse backgrounds of children.

Early childhood teachers work in close partnership with parents, caregivers, and whanau in a holistic, inclusive, supportive, and empowering way. The responsive relationship between early childhood teachers and families is critical to ensure the smooth transition for children between contexts.
