We have an assignment rearing its head (due 8 Oct). Students need to locate 5 recent research articles (preferably NZ) on either the pressure to prepare tamariki academically for school; the commercialization of early childhood education; or the professional status of early childhood education. The commercialization aspect appears to not be too flush with research.
If you get a question on AskLive, these are some suggestions for search terms on MultiSearch:
For the ECE sector:
“early childhood”
Preschool
Childcare
“Child care”
“Day care”
For the commercialisation aspect:
Commerc*
Business*
“for profit”
“private sector”
Does anyone have any other ideas about business-related terms that might be useful?

How recent is meant by "recent"?
For a business-related term how about:
market*
At least one relevant-looking article came up with that (not New Zealand-specific but could be applied to local situation):
Market managers and market moderators: Early childhood education and care provision, finance and regulation in the United Kingdom and United States
