abstract: 'This paper discusses findings from an evaluation of the New Zealand
Ministry of Education''s Early Childhood Education (ECE) Participation
Programme that targeted local areas where there are high numbers of
children starting school who have not participated in ECE. The aim of
the programme is to increase participation of these low-income priority''
children in quality'' ECE. In this paper, two policy initiatives and
features that supported participation in ECE are analysed. Engaging
Priority Families (EPF) involves a coordinator working with families to
encourage ECE participation, home learning and a positive transition to
school. Targeted Assistance for Provision (TAP) grants are intended to
increase local supply by helping establish new services and child spaces
in communities where they are needed. The study used mixed methods: data
on enrolments, surveys of Participation Programme providers, interviews
with programme staff, surveys of families engaged in each initiative and
interviews with a small group of families. The results show that cost,
availability and cultural relevance of ECE services are the main
barriers to participation of priority'' families. Through brokering, both
initiatives helped address complex social issues faced by the families
by connecting families with health, housing and social agencies, and
brokering understanding of ECE. The results support the argument that
national policy initiatives and local actions can help address
inequities in participation in ECE associated with socioeconomic status.'
