Our
Curriculum

Au Pair Link provides Host Families with a quality Early Childhood Education curriculum using the principles and strands of the Te Whāriki.

As a Ministry of Education licensed home based Early Childhood Education provider, our number one priority is creating enriching learning experiences for children under five years. With the support of qualified ECE teachers, our Au Pairs inspire your little ones to become curious about their world and embrace new learning possibilities through our local weekly playgroups, activities and events, childcare training and free educational resources. With someone from a different country living with your family, you’ll open a window to the world of language and culture – right in the heart of your home.
