WHAT ARE WE ABOUT
Vaka Ou is the contract that PIECCA holds with MOE-ECE as a provider of pre and post licensing support services.
Progress has been made in the
early childhood sector. Currently there are approximately 36 centres that have
been licensed and chartered and 10 more are working towards being licensed. The
number of Pacific Islands children participating in Pacific ECE centres has
increased steadily throughout the country.
The Vaka Ou team, consisting of
the project co-coordinator and community development officers (CDO), is working
closely with the centres to ensure that licensed centres and those working
towards licensing are supported in maintaining high standards, effective
systems, awareness of charter and policy compliance standards.
