About Pacific Learners Education

Pacific Learners Education was initially established to help support our Pacific children and families throughout the COVID-19 period. As our content evolved, and as time went by, we were humbled by the support from parents and teachers who loved our content and wanted to see more. So now with over 70+ videos and over 2 million views, we are committed to releasing more animated pacific content.

We understand the impact and uncertainty that surrounds our young tamariki in regards to their learning and development, however through innovation and storytelling we hope to address the cultural, social, wellness and educational needs of our Pacific Learners, Communities and Families.

We are also excited to partner with the Ministry of Pacific Peoples to develop and promote STEAM learning videos. STEAM subjects include Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. To date, we have released 12 animated videos, and are planning to produce more.

In early 2024, we will release language videos focused on the languages of the Cook Islands, Tokelau, and Niue.

The videos will contain basic words and phrases, prayers, and commonly used words you can incorporate into everyday conversation.

At Pacific Learners Education, our passion is to deliver and promote Pacific content that enhances and builds upon the identity and culture of our Pacific children.

Pacific Based Early Childcare Centres

At Pacific Learners, we passionate about seeing our young Pacific children reach their full potential. So, we have started to produce some amazing videos that allows Pacific ECE’s to showcase their centres philosophy, learning spaces, resources and more

Meet our new Characters

At Pacific Learners, we try our best to incorporate new characters into our animation videos, as such we would like to introduce Tieta from Kiribati, Sifa from Niue and Ina from the Cook Islands.

Tieta and Sifa has already featured in a video, and we look forward in introducing Ina very soon.

Attending an Early Childcare Centre is important for your child’s development and growth, however not all ECE’s reflect what is best for your child.

Pacific Learners Education has an important message for Pacific Parents and Caregivers.

Pacific Learners Education is supported by the Ministry of Pacific Peoples, Ministry of Education and Kaitiaki Kids Early Childcare.

Pacific Learners Education was birthed out of the challenges faced at Kaitiaki Kids Childcare where 90% of the children that attend are of Pacific descent and have English as a second language.

Through the challenges of COVID-19, the owners of Kaitiaki Kids decided to embark on an initiative to produce a series of animated videos and online content that help address the social, cultural, health and wellbeing issues facing our Pacific Learners and their families.

Thank you for this. I used it yesterday in a zoom catch up with my class. One of my boys yelled out (still not quite yet got the mic muting thing!) “Mum we are watching Pacific Learners for the start of Tongan Language week” and the whole family came and gathered round and joined in. Awesome resource thanks for sharing
