Five Reasons to Join Us
1. Marketing

It is prestigious to belong to the OECE. Membership is usually by invitation.  Online applications can be made if you think your service meets the criteria. To be a member a service must have as its first priority a focus on being high-quality for children and families.  It must also agree to follow the standards in the Code of Conduct for ECE Services.

Running a parent survey when you want to do one is simple – we handle it for you and provide you with a confidential copy of the results. We will also cover the cost of the survey.

Promoting your service online to parents is taken care of.  The OECE has partnered with the My ECE website and the ECE Parents’ Council Aotearoa to give members free advertising for their service.  For details directly contact My ECE

2. Professional

Free subscription access to the ECE Newsroom – your service provider member login will let you view everything in the ECE Newsroom

Complimentary access to over 25 years of published NZ and international research – your service provider member login gives you free access to the Research Library and support

3. Management

Management and ECE employment resources and advice will be at your finger-tips 24/7. We have so much available in the service provider area of our website – ranging from templates for policies, guidance on managing cashflow and debtors, staff drug use, negotiating pay with staff, and through to topics such as best sandpit design. 

We will make running a staff survey simple for you.  You can use our specially designed survey.  We collect the results and will provide you with a confidential report of the findings. (50% discount available to service provider members).

4. Representation

Did you know that the OECE meets personally and regularly with the Ministry of Education national team, and the regulations committee and other forums? 

Political leaders and journalists are able to use the OECE to gain deeper knowledge on a topic or issue, and we provide a sounding board for ideas and feedback.

Members have a direct line of communication with Dr Sarah Alexander, to bring to Sarah’s attention and discuss what’s affecting your service and community of children, families, and staff.

5. Value for Money

We are committed to keeping membership prices affordable and providing value for money. 

Membership rates start at just $250 for 12-months. Or join for 2 years for only $350.  For providers with multiple licensed services, the rates reduce per service the more licensed services you operate.

Making Signs as Part of Play

Making signs enriches play and learning.

All around us are signs – what ones can you see?

Signs can be used to tell us what to do like “stop” and “give way” on the road.

They can be used to let us know about dangers (e.g. “wet floor”) and to make announcements (e.g. “cooking at 2pm today”).

Signs can also be used to labe

NZK, Kelly Seaburg, Barnardos, and Te Rito Maioha Submission to the Ministry for Regulation on Licensing Criteria and the Regulatory System

“Shaping our Future”: The submission to the Ministry for Regulation of a grouping of service providers and their representatives.

A group of service providers and lobby groups want ECE services to be left to run themselves as they see fit.

They made a submission, titled “Shaping our Future” to the Ministry for Regulation calling for a self-regulation and monitoring scheme – the object of which would be to ensure that regulatory responsibility is not concentrated in the hands of the Ministry of Education (or any other government agency).

They include NZ Kindergartens Inc, Te Rito Maioha, Barnardos, a Home Base Childcare Association, and a group led by Kelly Seaburg (New Shoots) which has some of NZ’s biggest private operators like Busy Bees, Kindercare, and Evolve Education.
