Kindergartens – first choice early childhood education service.

We’re committed to quality

early childhood education 100%

 

NZ Kindergartens want to make sure the benefits of quality ECE are well known so that services are well supported in future. We have set up the GreatStart100% website to spread the word - to celebrate kindergarten and the outcomes for children of participating in ECE. This is a place for discussion on the issues that impact on kindergarten and the wider ECE sector. We want you to be involved – to let us know your views on the current issues, what is important for our youngest children, and what happens day-to-day in our kindergartens and centres.
