Have you got a QR code?
|
With COVID-19 cases still high in Australia, Kiwis are reminded that continued vigilance is importance to prevent another outbreak. To this end, the Ministry of Education is reminding early childhood services about the importance of displaying a QR code poster at entrance points and the reception area.
Displaying QR code posters for the NZ COVID Tracer App, makes it easier to notify contacts if there is a confirmed case in your area, which reduces the likelihood of further spread. The app is an important tool in the government's contact tracing armoury and continues to increase in functionality.

Know your trade: The Froebel Approach to early education
|
In many ways, NZ kindergartens owe their existence to German educator Friedrich Froebel. In 1837, when few others were engaged in educating pre-school aged children, Froebel created a program for young children based on 'play and activity' and 'the nurturing of creativity' to help children develop and grow.
According to NZ History the Dunedin Free Kindergarten, established in June 1889, aimed to educate and care for children of the poor and was closely based on Froebel's approach to early education.
