Early Childhood Centres Policy

Adopted July 2009.

This policy sets out the Council’s role regarding Early Childhood Centres (ECC) and provides:

  • guidance on how or when Council may offer support for ECC
  • guidance for managing ECC leases - recognising historic circumstances and relationships with lessees.

The policy does not engage broader issues concerning Early Childhood Education (ECE) as these are managed by the Ministry of Education.
