“My study has equipped me to understand children better and to support their growth and development based upon their interests and everything they bring with them to the centre.”

“I had always been interested in ECE teaching so I decided to give it a go. I really enjoyed it and ended up being offered a job from one of the centres I had relieved for.”

“My NZTC studies have provided me with much knowledge, and prompted me to improve my practice as I consider new information and how it aligns with my teaching philosophy and my centre’s values."

“I secured a job as a training teacher and searched for a provider that could suit my needs of working, studying, and raising a family. NZTC was perfect for me.”

“The Bachelor of Teaching (ECE) has helped me to develop closer relationships with whānau and children while also developing my teaching skills.”

“I’ve been able to bring my theoretical knowledge and understanding to life in ways that are responsive to children's strengths, interests, abilities and needs.”

“I particularly love the fact that the important teaching resources we have access to are written in both Māori and English, as I am passionate about our bicultural society and how we can meet the needs of Māori learners and others alike.”

“When I reach out to NZTC, they always make me feel like a priority.”

"I think NZMA has a better way to connect and relate to you compared to other Universities. They help a lot. Heaps of opportunities come up there. They open you up to more than one career path."
