ERO reviews
The Education Review Office (ERO) evaluates and reports on the education and care of children in early childhood services.
As part of the new ERO review format, we now have one report for the organisation (Playcentre Aotearoa), which includes the Centres visited during the review.
This report highlights what Playcentre is doing well as well gives us guidance as to how we can continue to provide quality education for our tamariki. The national and regional teams already have action plans underway to continue to work towards the areas for growth discussed with ERO during their visit and included in the report. ERO visited a sample of 19 services from the Central North Island region.
Extract from latest ERO report:
Practices and conditions that promote positive outcomes for children include:
- provision of a curriculum consistent with the breadth of Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum, where children play and learn alongside their parents and whānau in mixed age settings
- programmes for parents that promote the delivery of a responsive curriculum
- calm and unhurried environments that effectively support infants and toddlers to explore through a wide range of sensory, creative and physical learning experiences
- a curriculum that encourages children’s independence.
