study early childhood education nz

My advice to anyone looking to study would be just hang in there. It's worth it in the end, and you deserve it."

Jasmine Bellamy MIT graduate

study early childhood education nz

My friends encouraged me to study at MIT. The lecturers here are amazing. I have never met lecturers that are so enthusiastic. I love the ako in our classrooms and the diversity of our lecturers who bring fun, wisdom and knowledge to our classroom. The best part is the way they encourage student relationships with each other. I value my classmates and we are an amazing team together.

It is an eye-opening experience working alongside an Associate Teacher. Assisting and engaging with the Tamariki is the highlight of my week. If you want adventure in a classroom, excitement from engaging with the Tamariki, and linking your theory to your school-based learning, nothing beats that. I am already building lasting relationships with my principal, the teachers and the students.

I encourage you to come along and be a part of this great course.

Go for gold, it is the best place.

MIT will change your life."

La-Rochelle Bernstein MIT student

study early childhood education nz

I chose the Primary Pasifika course because as a pākehā I have noticed there is not enough cultural awareness within schools, we need more of it. This course provides an opportunity for us to deepen and enrich our understanding and create a safe space for students to bring who they are into the classroom, and not leave their culture at home.

MIT provided the exact course I was looking for – ticked all the boxes and exceeded well above my expectations. This course provides a hands-on approach to learning. I know I will be a great teacher because of it.

What I also love is the community they have built and the ongoing support and encouragement they give to help us achieve, not because they have to, but because they want to. They support us every step of the way and treat us not just as a student but as part of their whānau. I can't think of any other place that would provide this much support.

We need more Primary Pasifika teachers; it does not matter where you come from if you have the opportunity to change a life and make a difference in this world for our tamariki, take it.

Be brave, be bold, our tamariki need you more then you realise.”

Study options

Availability.

Our distance learning courses are offered throughout the year to help you fit study around your work and life commitments. Courses are offered up to 12 times per year depending on demand and availability of academic staff. Exact start dates are in the course information pages and in our Enrolment dates page:

  • Course costs   can be found on all course pages.  The fees may increase annually.
  • Qualification cost  – to give you an idea of how much a qualification may cost in total over the duration of your studies, an approximate cost is provided for many of our qualifications. This is based on the required number of courses to complete the qualification and the average cost of those courses. It does not include annual administration fees, text books and course materials or external exam fees, and is subject to annual course fee increases. 

Courses are assigned credits depending on how much time and effort is needed to complete their learning outcomes. In general, each credit represents approximately 10 hours of study time.

Delivery method

  • Online  – The course materials for online courses are delivered in an online format and all assignments are submitted online.
  • Mixed  – These courses are delivered using a mix of online and paper based course materials. This may include receiving paper course materials, submitting  assignments online, or being required to participate in online forums and learning activities.
  • Print Only  - The course will be delivered using paper based courses materials, and assignments may need to be submitted in hard copy rather than online. This will depend on the course.

Whether courses are delivered online, on paper or a mixture of both, there may also be components such as workshops, noho marae, work experience and practicum to participate in. To find out what your course involves check the course information page.

EFTS stands for equivalent full-time student . An EFTS is the study time required for each course and is used by the Tertiary Education Commission to decide if a course is part-time or full-time. 

One year of full-time study is generally between 0.8 and 1.2 EFTS.

You can tell how hard a course or qualification is by the level it is set at:

  • Levels 1-4 are about the same as secondary school and basic trades training.
  • Levels 5-7 are the same as university study.

Prerequisites

  • Prerequisites are courses that must be completed before another course can be studied. 
  • Co-requisites are courses that can be studied at the same time as another course.

If a course has a specific prerequisite or co-requisite course, it will be listed on the course page under the title 'Prerequisites'. If no courses are listed, check the entry and other requirements under the qualification you are studying for. Some courses require you to have studied at a particular level prior to enrolling.

Not all qualifications or students are eligible for student loans. You will need to meet criteria such as studying a minimum number of credits over a specific study period. It is up to you to apply for a student loan via StudyLink - Open Polytechnic does not do this for you.

Information about student loans and eligibility

StudyLink website

Teaching weeks

Teaching weeks is the number of weeks that we teach a course. This differs from the enrolment period, which is based on the course start and end dates.

For example, a 20-week enrolment period will have 16 teaching weeks, followed by four weeks to accommodate marking, any extensions and reassessments, or exams.

The workload estimate given on a course page is calculated like this:

Number of credits x 10, divided by the number of teaching weeks for the course. The hours will be rounded up to nearest whole number.

Please note, this is a guide only. You may need more or less time for study, and you may also need to do more hours during assessment due dates or exams times.

Postgraduate study in Early Childhood Education

What can you study in early childhood education.

Our intensive one-year Graduate Diploma in Teaching (Early Childhood Education) equips students who already have a degree with the knowledge and skills to support young children in their learning and development from birth until the age of five. The equivalent of 1.25 years of full-time study condensed into 12 months, the diploma familiarises students with the early childhood curriculum Te Whāriki , learning theories, and subjects such as the arts, Māori culture and languages. It emphasises practical experience in ECE settings to learn from experienced teachers, practise skills and develop your understanding of early childhood education settings.

We also offer a range of masters courses where students are encouraged to focus on their own teaching practice or educational context, familiarise themselves with the latest research and developments in their field in order to develop strategies to improve their teaching and address challenges.

Our Masters courses also focus on supporting students to conduct research and inquiry that can improve their own practice as well as contribute to the practice of other teachers and early childhood centres.

Each year we award scholarships and prizes to thousands of students.
