Uplands Kindergarten

Head Teacher from Uplands Kindergarten

At Uplands Kindergarten, the teachers keep up to date with research from New Zealand and around the world. Research from Whitebread in the UK states that children who are emotionally secure, curious, and playful, with well-developed oral language and self-regulation abilities, will be most enabled to develop as powerful learners and emotionally and socially healthy individuals. ECE settings which support these developments are characterized by emotionally warm and supportive social interactions, the provision of developmentally challenging and playful learning opportunities, dialogic and collaborative talk, and support for child-initiated activity and children’s autonomy.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
