I think it is important for kaiako to know because Bronfenbrenner shows us through his ecological systems that each of these areas direct and indirectly impacts the individual child. Also, according to Tesar “to look forward, it is important to understand history.”

I think it is important to know so that we are able to keep updating regulations and research. and also to see where the children come from and how that may impact on their learning and how we as kaiako should adept or teaching so that they are not disadvantaged in any way. -Roshmeen

I believe that it is important for teachers to know the history of early childhood education in New Zealand so that we can think of how we can incorporate these factors into our practice.

I believe it is important for kaiako to be knowledgeable of these, as being knowledgeable of these, your professional practice can have a wide range of experience that will support you while you spend your days around diversity, culture and religion.

By knowing what has happened in the past relating to ECE in regards to the historical, cultural, social and political influences, we as teachers in training can go back and reflect on these and know what not to do and learn from the past.

I would like to know what early childcare settings followed before Te Whariki was established.

# data[].attributes.body
I dont know a lot relating to the history of ECE in NZ, but I would like to find out more, as I think it would be great to know, so I can also pass on my findings to the children in my centre.

# data[].attributes.body
We cannot build a future without knowing the past, so for us as training kaiako, we need to understand and know about all important aspects of ECE which includes the historical, cultural, social and political influences over time.

I would like to know more about the reasons for implementing Te Whariki, and why the curriculum was updated in 2017. I would also like to know more around why ECE continues to lead to underpaid and overworked kaiako when there has been a focus on changing that for some time- is there a historical issue that needs to be address first?

It is the whakapapa behind who we are training to become.

I would like to know when did government start providing funding for early childhood services. I would also like to know when settings with specialized philosophies were established.

# data[].attributes.body
My knowledge around the history of ECE in Aotearoa is limited. I know that the first copy of Te Whaariki released in the 90s and the updated version was released in 2017.
Playcentre was formed in early 1950 and Te kohanga reo was was established well after.

I feel it gives us an understanding of who we are and how we started in this field of work. I know the kaiako that work in ECE are passionate about tamariki and advocate for them. Makes sense to know where our field came from in the beginning.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to know how ECE started in Aotearoa, whether it was more Māori based or more Pakeha based.

# data[].attributes.body
My knowledge around the history of ECE is quite minimal. I would like to know more about it and feel its important to know how it started.

I feel like kaiako need to know this is important in their practice as we help children to develop their knowledge of where they come from and who their whaanau are.

My knowledge on the history of ECE is not very good. I do not know much about it as it was not an interest of mine when growing up.
Lawsy

# data[].attributes.body
Knowing about our history of ECE supports kaiako to continue to be motivated in this profession and to carry out what the original creators planned. Knowing about cultural, social and political influences allows kaiako to advocate for relevant areas that are important for ECE and for tamariki to make the most of their time and experience in the learning environment that is created for them in order to prepare them for life.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder why NZ was the first to create a curriculum and the change in society for ECE to become more serious and become the way it is today with teachers still struggling to make a living as a career. I wonder why we get paid so little especially since NZ is one of the first to create a curriculum in order to create a foundation for all ECE services.....

# data[].attributes.body
I don't know much history of ECE in NZ as it hasn't been a topic of interest or relevance yet in my studies. It will be a curious open door to step into and learn more about so that I can learn more about to move forward into my studies and future educator in ECE

Getting knowledge and understanding around what has happened in the past and how ECE came to be in Aotearoa helps support my own learning by acknowledging how ECE has changed or not changed over time.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to know more about the history of ECE in Aotearoa particularly about Te Whariki and why it was created. What was the curriculum like before Te Whariki?

# data[].attributes.body
The history of ECE in Aotearoa is an unknown topic to me as I do not remember learning anything about how ECE came to be in Aotearoa, who or when it started and what the purpose was for ECE to become established in the first place. I am interested in finding out more about this though.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like knowing more about the history of ECE would support the development of my personal philosophy. As a kaiako we need to be constantly reflecting on our practice and knowing more about the history will help.

# data[].attributes.body
I would love to know more about what ECE was like before Te Whāriki was the curriculum

I feel as though I know a little bit about the history of ECE to some extent. my mother and sister are both ECE teachers so I have been around it a lot growing up. I still feel as though I have lots to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is just important to know where we came from and why we do the things that we do. Just like knowing New Zealand history, good to know how things used to be and know why society is the way that it is now

# data[].attributes.body
I know that New Zealand was one of the first countries to implement a curriculum in ECE. I would love to know how ECE was before the curriculum was created and if any theories/Māori theories were used or if ECE was more like a babysitting service...

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think I know much about the history of ECE itself but l do know a little bit about New Zealands history and how it applies to ECE.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is imported to know and understand as it can help you understand why we do things the way we do them and why the changes have occurred. It will help show the relevance of irrelevance of things in ECE.

I am interested in getting to know more about the timeline and what influenced the changes that have happened overtime in ECE.

The history of ECE in Aotearoa is an area that I am not familiar with and have not gained much knowledge over. It is an area that I have not researched or studied much but am interested in getting to know about.

I think that knowing the historical, cultural, social and political influences are important for kaiako to know because it informs us about what's happening around us in ECE and how we got there.

I don't know much about the history of ECE in Aotearoa. I do know that it has changed throughout the years and the local curriculam and Te Whariki have played a role in that.
-Kate

Knowing historical, cultural, social and political factors is going to be beneficial for kaiako to help support their knowledge and understanding of events that have happened in the past. Events that have been good and possibly even bad for ECE over the years. Knowing the above helps a kaiako be the best for the children and the whānau that come through the setting.

I would like to learn about the type of ECE that were first available and who they were available for, how they changed over the years, and what type of support there was (if any) for children and the teachers.
Alesha

# data[].attributes.body
Knowing about the history and historical factors are important so that you can support the grandparents that come in because it will have been different from when they were there, and when their tamariki were there.  I also think it is important to know the history of happened before us to influence our teaching. The battles they fought and overcame and the learning they provided for us. -Gabby

I don’t know much about the history of ECE in Aotearoa. I feel that it may not have been as popular a while ago as generally the mother stayed home with the children and the father went to work. But things have changed now and it is more common to see both parents working.
