Home Based Educators Welcome Minimum Qualification
|
Home based early education provider Tiny Nation has welcomed the welcomed the recent announcement that the home-based early childhood education (ECE) and care providers will move to a fully qualified workforce by 2025.
The move follows a review into home-based education and care in 2018 and the decision to ensure better and more consistent quality for more than 17,000 New Zealand children enrolled in home-based services.
The new standards require all licensed home-based early childhood educators to hold, or be actively working toward, a grand-parented Level 3 ECE qualification, a Level 4 ECE qualification or Te Ara Tuarua (the Level 5 kÅhanga reo qualification) or higher.

Burnout busters for worn out educators
|
There aren't many jobs as physically and mentally taxing as early education, and at this time of the year it's easy to become stressed, run down and unwell.
Learning strategies to manage both the physical and mental strain of day-to-day life while working in early childhood is important for staying well and ensuring career longevity.
It's hard though, with long hours, low pay rates and unavoidable exhaustion in the mind and body at the end of the week burnout is common and staying well requires a positive and proactive approach.
