Progress towards licensing and chartering Pacific Islands early childhood centres in New Zealand

This study outlines information from the range of agencies and organisations that work together to establish and support the licensing and chartering of Pacific Islands early childhood centres.

An analysis of interviews carried out with key informants from licensed and unchartered centres identifies the barriers and challenges to licensing, useful supports and services, the differences between being licensed and unlicensed, and present and future needs.

Participants' views on quality, choice, and access are noted.
