1. Enjoy personal access to essential information and also to unique information that only ChildForum provides.
2. Grow professionally as your knowledge and understanding increases, and as you put new ideas and strategies into practice.
3. Be well-informed and up-to-date. Know things that others who are not members will not know and never worry about missing out.
4. Ask questions and pick up tips on child care and early education matters from ChildForum's experts and fellow members through our forum.
5. Have 24/7 complementary access to all past and current issues of the NZ-International Research in ECE Journal - giving a vast library of 20 years of published research articles on a very wide range of early childhood, teaching, parenting, research, and policy topics and issues.
