Campaign launch-Wellington, November 2016
We relaunched our early childhood campaign under a new banner: Every Child Is Worth It.
At Hill Street Early Childhood Centre in Thorndon, we were lucky enough to spend time with children and ECE workers hearing about how the Government's decisions on funding had affected their learning and careers.
