Testimonials (ECE)

Everything about PAUA Early Childhood Home Based Care Service is Wonderful! Everything PAUA does encompass’ the child and what is best for the child. I feel valued as a PAUA Educator and always enjoy my visits from the friendly and knowledgeable Visiting Teachers. The resources they provide for me to work with the children are awesome and attract the children’s interest and support their learning and development. The resources available from the PAUA shop are also fun and educational and I look forward to purchasing some for my own grandchildren and to use with the children in my care.

PAUA resources and support have given my children and the children I look after the head start that all children need. PAUA has given me the opportunity to stay home with my children, but still bring in an income. PAUA is a like a big loving family, full of support and encouragement. - Rachel, Wanganui, April 2010

Being a part of PAUA has given me the opportunity to gain an income whilst being at home for my baby girl.

I am passionate about children and was excited to meet so many other like-minded people in the PAUA team! Julie (In Kapiti) arranges seriously fun and educational playgroups and outings where the educators and children get a chance to play together. The resources they supply to the educators are high quality and are chosen to suit the individual children in care. If I could pick one word to sum up PAUA it would be 'Care'. The visiting teachers care, the educators care, the children receive incredible care and you can see it in their relaxed and happy smiles. I wish I had known about this when my kids were little. - Rach, October 2009

I have worked in Early Childhood Centres for over ten years and after having my first child and then looking at heading back to work I just didn't feel it was the right environment for her. I enrolled her with PAUA and absolutely love it! I got to meet different Educators in my area and find the right one for my daughter and she just loves it too! The profile folder PAUA have made for her is amazing, my husband and I love reading about what she gets up to and the photos are gorgeous! She gets individual care and attention with a small group of children and an Educator she has really bonded with. She loves the outings and playgroups PAUA arrange and has a great time meeting the other PAUA children. I would highly recommend PAUA to anyone, it has been a been such a blessing for my family and has made going back to work a lot easier and stress free knowing my daughter is in such good hands. - Julie, Waikanae, April 2010

PAUA is wonderful! It’s great to have all the resources Archie is stimulated with each month. New and exciting resources!Also I find having the feedback from the Visiting Teacher, confirms what I’m doing is the right thing. When I had an issue with bath time, it was great to have different ideas that really helped. The outings are great fun and great for Archie to get together with the other children. - Willow, Putararu, February, 2010
