A new website has launched to help New Zealand early education and care (ECEC) providers connect with families looking for care.

The website, founded by Careforkids, means NZ providers now have an easy and effective way to connect with families looking for care via the newly launched www.CareforKids.co.nz

For 15+ years CareforKids.com.au has been supporting the Australian early childhood sector via a range of bespoke services built to fill vacancies and enable providers to promote their service.

CareforKids.co.nz Co-founder Roxanne Elliott said New Zealand’s high-quality and innovative early childhood sector made the launch a natural expansion for the business.

“CareforKids.co.nz has long been a dream of ours and is the next chapter in our CareforKids story. NZ has a world class yet highly accessible early childhood sector and we are delighted to be able to partner with and support the outstanding people and providers offering their services to Kiwi families.

“CareforKids.co.nz offers early childhood providers the full range of services including free and enhanced profile options, access to customised features such as video, live chat, online waitlisting, and more,” said Ms Elliott.

“For families looking for care we work by bringing together all the pieces of the childcare puzzle to ensure parents have the resources necessary to find high-quality care when and where they need. It’s a simple formula, but it works,” said Ms Elliott.

Providers who join the CareforKids.co.nz community will be able to access real-time localised support and are urged to contact support@careforkids.co.nz with any comments or questions.
