The Early Childhood Council
The Early Childhood Council is the largest representative body of licensed, quality early childhood education centres in New Zealand. We have more than 1,000 member centres, 38% of which are community-owned and 62% of which are privately owned. Our members employ thousands of teachers, and care for tens of thousands of children.
Our member centres range from ten child places to over 150 child places and are spread throughout the country. Membership is voluntary, and open to all licensed independent early childhood centres. A number of centres reflect a variety of specialised educational philosophies, including religious affiliations, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Pasifika, Rudolf Steiner and Maori.
