ECE hero: Jan Taouma
|
Next week 30 May – 5 June is Samoa Language Week and in recognition of the importance of the Samoan culture and language in Aotearoa we interviewed 72 year old 'Mummy Jan' or Janice Taouma, as she is known to the grownups in her life.
Jan was recently recognised as an ECE hero and has run the A'oga Fa'a Samoa, the first Samoan early childhood centre, for more than 40 years.
Throughout her career Jan has supported and encouraged her staff to qualify as early childhood teachers and some have gone on to open their own centres.
Jan has dedicated her career to the early childhood sector and has worked hard to share the early childhood education curriculum of Samoan Amata with across the motu.

Teaching sustainability to young people
|
While sustainability may be a bit of a buzzword these days, it is essential for all of us, on an individual and business level, to adopt more sustainable lifestyles.
It's especially important for those of us working in early learning environments to instil sustainable ideologies and practices among the children in our care. This is so that future generations will naturally live more sustainably, without having to unlearn the bad habits that previous generations have had to.
This week, 10 fun and easy ways to teach the children in your service about living sustainably every day.
