The Early Childcare and Education Services DVD

Early childhood education is one of the fastest growing industries in New Zealand.  But is this a good thing for children?

This DVD challenges parents and professionals to think about the decisions they make for young children.  It covers:

• What you can expect to see happening in any service, so you can think about what you like and what is best for children
• The benefits for children along with the worrying effects on children
• Costs to families
• Some further options for childcare and early education to consider
• Discussion of what 'quality' in early childhood education means
• What makes for the best service
• Questions and answers on a range of topics including men in ECE, overcrowding and outdoor play areas, breastfeeding support, settling-in a new child to childcare, partnership with parents, etc.

Below you will see you will see a list of 6 video files from the DVD (providing you are logged in as a member).  If you are not logged in - go to the home page and log in with your username and password.
