Twenty-five 'Supported Playgroups' are being piloted to increase opportunities to participate in ECE.

Supported Playgroups’ are playgroups that will receive extra funding for a skilled person /Kaimanaaki to provide parents/whanau with regular support for curriculum delivery, management and administration and engage parents in their children’s learning. The funding will help establish and maintain supported playgroups successfully in areas where they might not otherwise be sustainable or viable.

The Government will fund a pilot of 20 supported playgroups in Counties Manukau and five supported playgroups in Tamaki until December 2012, commencing April 2010.

The Ministry of Education is seeking proposals from groups interested in establishing and maintaining Supported Playgroups. Information can be found on GETS (Government Electronic Tendering System) from 14 December 2009.
