Abstract:
This article reconceptualises spirituality from a Samoan cultural perspective. It draws from a range of philosophical perspectives with the intention to inform programmes for Pasifika early childhood education within Aotearoa New Zealand. It maintains that an articulation of a Samoan approach to spirituality to support practices in early childhood services is overdue. This article seeks to extend the body of knowledge about what underpins the philosophy, content and pedagogical knowledge of Pasifika early childhood contexts in Aotearao New Zealand.
