We know how you feel and you've come to the right place.

 

I have just discovered the ChildForum site and I'm really impressed by what I see. It has a great tone of intelligence, communication, good nature and, above all, a genuine commitment to the well being of the child.  Annabel Calder, mother of 3 and former primary school teacher).

 

ChildForum was started by Dr Sarah Farquhar, a leading expert in Early Childhood Education after she became unhappy with all the biased and misleading 'information' that was available to teachers, parents and the early childhood sector.  

Dr Farquhar was determined to create a website without censorship that would answer all your questions on early childhood education while discussing freely and openly various subjects on children, their care, and their education.  

ChildForum is NZ's most popular and leading early childhood support and research national organisation.  Click here to see what we offer ...
