ERO review

Education Review · 2025-07-17

Daycare Near Me's analysis of the ERO report — six dimensions with verbatim quotes (methodology).

Curriculum & learning

B

"The playcentre curriculum is rich and broad and highly responsive to children's interests and developing capabilities. Children's interests and the strands of Te Whāriki (2017), The NZ Early Childhood Curriculum, are the basis of termly and weekly programme planning."

Curriculum is responsive and well-planned with Te Whāriki integration evident.
