Mobile Pre-School Units and the Provision of Early Childhood Education in Rural New Zealand Communities.
Davison, Claire; Stevens, Ken
Rural Educator, v18 n3 p28-31 Spr 1997
Mobile preschool units provide a viable solution to the problem of delivering preschool education to isolated rural New Zealanders. Advantages include delivery of bicultural education to Maori children, a low teacher-student ratio, provision of qualified teachers, and enthusiastic parent participation. Disadvantages include inadequate buildings, inability to display children's work, and short time available at each site. (TD)
