Mainstreaming te reo Maori in early learning services
|
Early childhood educators play a key role in promoting little ones' language development and early literacy.
Child care conversations, explanations, games, songs and storytime all boost young children's brains, and English isn't the only language that's valuable in these early years.
Immersion in te reo Maori also brings great benefits for under fives, and a new programme called Te Ahu o te Reo Maori is helping educators to normalise te reo Maori in early childhood education (ECE) services.
Today, Te Rito Maioha: Early Childhood New Zealand explains what educators will learn in the programme, and why this knowledge is great news for the kids in their care.

To give you some inspiration in the kitchen, Healthy Kids has kindly shared three baby food recipes, which you can tailor to your bub’s taste and the ingredients you have at hand.
Here goes, and happy cooking!
