“It’s so rewarding contributing to a team; bringing out the best in myself and my colleagues to fulfill our goals and see positive results in the healthcare setting.”

“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.”

“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.”

"NZMA teach ‘best practice’ so I learned the right way to do things – and the reasons why we do things this way.  I also really enjoyed learning in-depth about medicines."
