✨ Early Childhood Education Enrolment Policy
17 DECEMBER 2010 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 175 4299
| Enrolment Category | Gateway | Entry Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Referral | Special development needs | Child has special development needs such that no licensed and/or chartered ECE service able to meet their needs is available within a reasonable distance or travel time. |
Caregivers must provide a Ministry of Education – Special Education report detailing the nature of the child’s special development needs and immediate teaching needs. This report will include verification that no locally available service is able to meet the child’s special development needs. || Referral | Special circumstances | Child does not fit any ECE gateway, however may be admitted by Te Kura – for example where:
(a) a sibling has a medical condition such as a bone marrow transplant preventing, for reasons of cross-infection, the child attending a licensed and/or chartered ECE service; or
(b) the child’s caregiver has a medical condition preventing attendance at a licensed and/or chartered ECE service. || Referral | Ministry of Education | The child does not fit any ECE gateway, and is not enrolled at any licensed, chartered or certificated ECE service for more than two four-hour sessions per week, and is referred by the Ministry of Education at its discretion as part of its programme to increase participation in ECE.
The Ministry of Education is the referral agency and all referrals must be signed off by a Ministry ECE Manager (or their delegate).
The Ministry referral letter must:
(a) clearly state the Ministry of Education ECE programme in which the child is enrolled and how enrolment in Te Kura meets the objective of that programme; and
(b) provide Te Kura with both Ministry and service provider contact information for the programme in which the child is enrolled; and
(c) set a date for Ministry review to ascertain whether the enrolment in ECE by distance education is still required for the child.Next Page →
