About the course

If you are employed, volunteering or not yet in the industry and looking to enhance your skills before moving into an early childhood education role. This programme will develop your knowledge and skills as a Kaiako, enabling you to provide and support the education and care of infants, toddlers, and young children.

　　During your studies, you’ll strengthen your skills and reflect on your understanding towards age-appropriate resources, how to encourage tamariki engagement, and the benefits to their learning and development.

　　Campus based learning: Gain valuable hands-on experience to get you work ready. With small class sizes, you’ll have more one-on-one time with your tutor, including up to 7 weeks of work placement to build your confidence and increase your employment opportunities.

　　Streamed learning: If you are employed, either paid or unpaid, seeking a more personal learning experience can enjoy 12 hours of class per week via streamed lessons online by friendly industry experienced tutors. This gives you the flexibility to take classes from anywhere, receive support and engage with fellow students and tutors online, all while earning a recognised qualification.

　　This programme will also grant graduates 120 credits towards a Bachelor of Education through Te Rito Maioha. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
