At Home

Whether you are a whanau caregiver already caring for your a family member (we have a number of grandparents caring for grandchildren, or aunties looking after nieces/nephews); or you are interested in us placing children in your home; PAUA is here to support you.

You will have a Visiting Teacher who will support you with activity ideas and educational resources for the children in your care.  Each month you will receive a visit an the resources will be changed.  Regular playgroups, along with “Coffee, chocolate and chat about Children” seminars are provided in your area where possible.

We encourage you to become a member of NZHECEA (New Zealand Homebased Early Childhood Education Association) which will keep you up-to-date with developments in the Early Childhood area.  The Association has a group insurance scheme tailor-made for educators in Homebased Early Childhood Education. It includes indemnity insurance and health insurance as well as home and contents.  On their website you will also find a Tax Calculator which helps you to calculate any tax you need to pay, as well as the deductions that you are entitled to.
