New Zealand Certificate in Early Childhood Education and Care

The purpose of this qualification is to provide Aotearoa New Zealand with people who can provide practice-based education and care in a specific early childhood context, including multicultural settings, and/or who can proceed to further study.

Graduates will enhance family and community outcomes and will support infants, toddlers and young children.

The early childhood education (ECE) setting and associated regulatory framework and criteria will determine the level of supervision under which graduates will operate. For example, home-based regular sole charge practitioners would be under general supervision, while parent-led session leaders would provide guidance and supervision of others.
