welcome to the footsteps family

Kia ora, nau mai, haere mai ki te whānau o footsteps

We provide an early childhood discovery and learning service at home

If your baby and/or pre-school children are looked after by somebody else, or you care for somebody else's babies or children under a care arrangement, you could qualify for free early childhood education paid for by the Ministry of Education. So many people are not aware that this valuable resource is available to them.

footsteps is approved by the Ministry of Education to provide a high quality, home based early childhood education service for all pre-school children throughout Aotearoa New Zealand

Our service is FREE* and provides:

A focused quality learning journey for your baby and/or preschool child

Educational resources specific to the individual needs and abilities of children

Regular visits from a registered early childhood teacher/kaiako

A learning journey record that reflects the children's development and creates a historical story
