How We Can Help
Ngā āwhina ka taea e mātou
Kotahi te kākano, he nui ngā hua o te rākau
A tree comes from one seed but bears many fruits
This whakatauki emphasises that in our community we are all different. In early learning we celebrate those differences while maintaining our relationship with each other.
ELP has been providing professional learning for early childhood educators since the year 2000. Our team of highly skilled and experienced facilitators will work alongside your team and provide the knowledge, guidance and support relevant to your unique setting.
We have Professional Learning Facilitators around the country that can travel New Zealand-wide to offer support.

Private programmes
Teaching in ECE is complex and demanding work which requires ongoing learning in-line with current theory and research. ELP uses a variety of lenses to develop professional learning programmes and workshops.
Your facilitator will work closely with you to determine the best approach based on your setting’s needs and your desired area of learning. This may include a full programme of workshops, one-to-one mentoring and group coaching, or a one-off workshop for your complete team.
We have Professional Learning Facilitators around the country that can travel New Zealand-wide to offer support.
