Experienced and caring educators
Through Andrea and Carolynne’s work in education, they came to realise that whilst they were supporting Early Childhood Centres and Schools, there was little support for whanau. Their vision through the Ready 4 Learning Charitable Trust is to support whanau to grow their knowledge and understanding of foundation skills and how they can best support their tamariki.
