The aim of this research was to strengthen and build an evidence base around the effectiveness of an innovative kaupapa Māori early childhood centre’s whānau development approach to teaching and learning aimed at promoting substantial positive outcomes for Māori learners that are sustained throughout their life course. A key focus was the transformative power of a whānau development approach to early childhood education (ECE) in overcoming barriers to education and wellbeing for Māori whānau and the associated long-term maintenance and cumulative benefit of such.
