Welcome to 2023! The PLD team took time to recharge and spend time with family and friends over the Christmas-New Year period returning in mid-January to resume work on our professional development programmes and Playcentre Aotearoa resource development.
SELO programmes
We currently have 7 Strengthening Early Learning Opportunities (SELO) programmes running in centres across the country, with more programmes starting over the next two terms.
Two new leadership programmes being developed
We are excited to be developing two new leadership programmes to support our SELO work. This includes a redevelopment of the Creativity Leadership programme and a new Te Ao Māori Leadership programme Kōrero Pūrākau.
The Creativity programme aims to develop leadership through the adult’s role in encouraging creativity and the creative process.
Kōrero Pūrākau aims to empower whānau to use, reference and share pūrākau with tamariki and other whānau including investigating their local pūrākau. Details of this programme will be confirmed in the coming month so keep an eye out to see how you can be involved.
We look forward to working with you over the next term. If you have any questions, please contact Rebecca – [email protected].
