Te Puawaitanga: Partnerships with tamariki and whanau in bicultural early childhood care and education

Description:
This project aimed to: (1) document the narratives of a diverse range of voices of children/families and educators from early childhood centers committed to honoring the bicultural intent of the Te Whariki; (2) theorize the experiences of bicultural pathways that are empowering to all participants within the service; and (3) give voice to the perspectives of children, parents, and caregivers on their experiences with bicultural early childhood education. Data collection was accomplished through a variety of methods such as audio- and video-recording of interviews, field notes, photographs, children's art samples, and center pedagogical documentation. Educator co-researchers explored various ways of generating dialogue with children and their families (whanau). Findings revealed that whanau experienced Maori ways as normalized and reported a strong sense of feeling welcomed and belonging.
