Early Childhood Education
HELP TAMARIKI THRIVE AND GROW
Help children reach their potential with one of our Early Childhood Education programmes.

What’s more, the practical, hands-on experience you’ll gain from work experience in an ECE setting will help you move towards a job in a childcare centre.

What our students are saying
"I was a stay-at-home mum, and I was looking for a career, not just a job. I wanted to make a difference within my community and impact young children’s lives."
“I really enjoyed becoming part of a family and learning how to communicate with children, develop a relationship with them, and build trust. After the course finished I continued working with my training families and even now I still spend one night a week with one of my families.”
