Education for Deaf and hard of hearing children
You and your child’s journey with us can begin anywhere between pre-school to age 21.
Our preschool in Auckland and Early Years Whānau Centre (EYWC) in Christchurch provide programmes that encourage language development and offer a place of support for parents and families.
Then, when it's time for school, you and your child have a choice of whether they attend their local mainstream school or our specialist schools in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
We also support students to transition into tertiary study or the workforce.
