Let’s Grow Together: Cluster PLD for Early Childhood Centres

What is a Cluster Approach?
A Cluster Approach to PLD means that two or more ECE centres come together to:
✔ Share the cost of a facilitator
✔ Collaborate on shared goals
✔ Host in-person workshops in your region
✔ Build lasting professional networks

It’s a smart, relational, and sustainable way to build capability—together.

Why Face-to-Face?
✔ Deeper connection
✔ Specific to your needs and context
✔ Hands-on, practical strategies
✔ Follow-up individual support available

Popular PLD Focus Areas: (These are suggestions only)
We bring current, research-informed, and practice-proven professional learning right to your setting:

🌱 Trauma-Informed Practice
Understanding behaviours, building resilience, and creating safe, nurturing spaces for tamariki and kaiako.

📃 Outcome-Focused Assessment, Planning & Evaluation

Practice is anchored in Te Whāriki and aligned with the ERO Improvement Framework, enabling kaiako to design meaningful learning that leads to positive outcomes and informed evaluation.

🪑 Engaging Spaces: Environments that Invite, Inspire, and Evolve
A practical and collaborative approach to ongoing review and evaluation of your physical and social learning environment. This practical tool helps your team to critically reflect, design with intention, and align spaces with tamariki needs and learning goals.
