Good early childhood care keeps children safe and happy while helping them learn through play. In New Zealand, services follow Te Whāriki, the national curriculum, and are reviewed by the Education Review Office, whose reports are public. When choosing a centre, visit at different times of day, watch how teachers talk to children and ask about staff qualifications, the ratio of adults to children, settling-in for new children, meals and how the centre keeps families informed. Regulars know that visiting before enrolling, asking about waiting lists early in a busy growing suburb like Mission Heights and checking fees and any hours covered by the 20 hours ECE scheme for three- to five-year-olds are all worthwhile. Follow the sickness policy and label your child's belongings. Ask how the centre supports children moving on to school.
For families in Mission Heights and east Auckland, KiNZ on Valderama Drive is a local centre to visit and ask about.
