Supporting You
We are champions of the Home-based sector exclusively, working hard for the benefit of our members and for our most important clients, the children in our collective care.
Explore this section to find out more about how we support and advocate for our members.
Representation and Lobbying
Our voice is the voice of our members, and we make sure it is heard at Government level
The Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Social Development, the IRD and the Education Review Office (ERO) all consult directly with us on policy development.
Our President and the Executive team meet regularly with the Minister and Ministry of Education and other Government agencies to discuss any issues affecting the Home-based sector, and we are frequently invited onto advisory committees and consultation groups, so we have direct input on decisions and initiatives that will effect Home-based childcare educators and services.
We are also represented on the Early Childhood Advisory Council.
Education Pathways
A fundamental aim of the Association is to help our members develop professionally, to continually improve the standard of Home-based childcare services in New Zealand.
To do this, we are committed to advocating for educational pathways for the home-based sector and giving our members access to top-quality, affordable training and qualifications that are relevant to your work with children.
Insurance Packages
We offer our Educator Members an insurance package of Public Liability and Statutory Liability cover – automatically included with your annual membership fee!
Remember, this is all tax deductible – as you can claim back your membership fees (and insurances) against your annual gross income as one-off costs.
