Te Rito Maioha Early Childhood New Zealand ECNZ is a national organisation that was formed as the NZ Association of Child Care Centres Inc in 1963 by Sonja Davies and other childcare licencees.
We developed a relationship with Pacific Nations peoples culminating in a joint training initiative with PACIFICA Inc. We received approval from NZQA and New Zealand Teachers Council to offer a Level 7 Diploma of Teaching Early Childhood Education . We adopted name Te Tari Puna Ora o Aotearoa NZ Childcare Association NZCA as an outward sign of our commitment to the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and made changes to our structures and policies. We received approval from NZQA and NZTC to offer a Level 7 National Diploma in Teaching Early Childhood Education Pasifika . We won our first Ministry of Education national professional development contract to introduce Kei Tua o te Pae Assessment for Learning Early Childhood Exemplars to early childhood services. We also won a general professional development programmes contract in partnership with Teuila consultancy to deliver professional development to Pasifika centres in Auckland. Our own customised professional development workshops, Fuel Te Kai a te Rangatira were offered for the first time.
The history of ECNZ from 1963 to 2003 is documented in Concerning Women Considering Children May, Helen. The Association celebrated its 50th year with a custom built exhibition which toured the motu telling the story of the Association thus far. The final students in our Diploma of Teaching ECE and the National Diploma in Teaching ECE Pasifika completed their studies in 2013. Flagship 3, Te Whakapakari Kai rahi Ahutanga Ako K hungahunga Developing Pedagogical Leadership in Early Childhood Education was released. Due to falling demand for ECE initial teacher education as the sector reaches higher levels of qualified staff, Council made the decision to close three teaching bases.
Approval is gained to teach our first leadership qualifications Postgraduate Certificate in Leadership Early Childhood Education Te Tiwhikete Paerua i te rhitanga ECE Postgraduate Diploma in Leadership Early Childhood Education Te T tohu Paerua i te rahitanga ECE . Our first cohort of more than 350 Bachelor of Teaching ECE students graduated this year. We changed our name to Te Rito Maioha Early Childhood New Zealand ECNZ to better reflect our new vision and reaffirm our commitment to raising the quality of early childhood education in New Zealand. Our revered President, Judy Kaa, tragically passed away following a battle with leukaemia. The first cohort of postgraduate students enrolled in the diploma programme completed their studies in 2015.
A staff delegation travelled to China in September as members of a Wellington City mayoral delegation visiting Xiamen Wellington’s sister city , X’ian, Beijing and Shanghai. Approval is gained from NZQA to teach the Graduate Diploma of Teaching ECE . We pay tribute to this remarkable New Zealander whose untiring work and support for standards in childcare and training for early childhood workers began the journey toward current day developments. The Early Childhood Workers Union became a reality in 1982 due to Sonja’s support of women who worked in childcare. In 1987 she was elected to Parliament and was among the first recipients of the Order of New Zealand.
Sonja’s remarkable contribution to women and children will not be forgotten as her work is carried on by past and present members of ECNZ
