This survey therefore covers the provision of preschool educational services as they are now with reference to the origin of their various features as far as the available records relate them. It covers only those preschool services which are "recognised" by the Minister or Director of Education, that is, the Free Kindergartens and the Play Centres.pdfen-NZhttps://www.wgtn.ac.nz/library/about-us/policies-and-strategies/copyright-for-the-researcharchivePreschool educationNursery schoolsKindergarten facilitiesPreschool teachingTextAll rights, except those explicitly waived, are held by the Author
