Te Whāriki – Our Education programme

Dream Au Pair is licensed with the Ministry of Education to provide a home-based education programme to preschool children – our Dream Education Programme. It is run by our qualified Visiting Teachers and is based on Te Whāriki.

Te Whāriki is the New Zealand Ministry of Education’s framework for providing tamariki (children's) early learning and development within a sociocultural context. It emphasizes the learning partnership between kaiako (teachers), parents, and whānau/families. Kaiako (teachers) weave a holistic curriculum in response to tamariki (children's) learning and development in the early childhood setting and the wider context of the child's world (MoE 1996).

If you’re interested in a career in Early Childhood Education then come to New Zealand, work closely with a qualified Early Childhood Teacher and return home with documentation from the New Zealand Ministry of Education stating you have taught children in accordance with the New Zealand curriculum.
