PEAL is actively exploring opportunities for ECE cooperation between New Zealand and China. ECE is growing fast in China due to the increase in pre-school age children and raising awareness of the importance of ECE. High-quality kindergartens in China are looking to integrate Western education and care philosophies and pedagogies in a Chinese way, and New Zealand’s world-leading approach to ECE is held in high regard. PEAL is committed to connecting New Zealand ECE services with Chinese kindergartens, facilitating New Zealand ECE methodology in the education and care of Chinese children.
