Abstract
With the accelerated pace of life in the 21st century, workplaces and education settings have witnessed changing social dynamics, alongside changes to ways in which relationships are built. With the nature of partnerships evolving, children’s learning, development and growth could be impacted. This shifting meaning of ‘relationships with people, places and things’ (Ministry of Education [MoE], 2017, p. 21) puts an extra strain on kaiako (teachers) teams across Aotearoa New Zealand and on Initial Teacher Education (ITE) providers to prepare kaiako for the busy Early Childhood Education (ECE) sector. This article, written through the lens of the Pā Harakeke model, considers the importance of authentic relationships with parents and whānau. It explores the changing meaning of relationships and the ways of understanding such changes in early childhood contexts.
