Educarents welcomes the review of home-based early childhood education (ECE) announced by the Minister of Education, Honourable Hekia Parata.
The review is in response to recommendations made in reports by the ECE Taskforce and two Sector Advisory Groups which were established to focus on improving the quality of ECE services. Their reports found that a review of home-based services has the potential to raise overall quality and improve the accountability of home-based networks.
The Ministry will consult with the home-based ECE sector on proposed changes before final decisions are made and is expected to be completed in April 2013.
