Zealand Steiner Teacher Diploma(Early Childhood) (NZSTD-EC)

Written By Kim Manunui

Update December 2024

The Early Childhood Diploma Course, endorsed by both IASWECE and SEANZ and held in Titirangi, continues to flourish and to provide our centres with well-prepared practitioners. Having started a new intake in September 2023 they have just finished seminar 3 in September 2024. Students arrived with diverse backgrounds originally from Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Vietnam, Japan, China, and Hungary.

The Diploma Course

Neil Boland conducted a thorough review of the course which was very supportive of the course and included areas for improvements. It is anticipated to have these in place before the start of the next intake.

Edith van der Meer, one of the course tutor’s reports: “One of the highlights each seminar is the final session where students report on one specific thing they learned or felt excited about and one thing they will do differently in their practice. These sessions are very affirming for students and tutors alike.

The two Fijian students we sponsor have become an integral part of the course. They add so much to the course! These women are from the one and only little Waldorf kindergarten in Suva, which is supported by International Association of Steiner Waldorf Early Childhood Education (IASWECE). It would be good if we, in NZ, could fundraise for their much-needed mentoring.”

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
