Advocating for quality early childhood education 

Te Tari Puna Ora o Aotearoa/NZ Childcare Association (NZCA) actively advocates for quality early childhood education in New Zealand. We meet regularly with key policy makers to represent our members' views. We also participate in a range of consultative forums and prepare submissions on issues of relevance to our members.
