About A1 Kids Childcare Centre
About Education & Care Service
Education & Care Services are mainstream early learning centres that offer full-day or part-day care with a structured curriculum, qualified teachers, and a focus on learning through play. They cater to families needing flexible childcare options and wanting a balanced approach that supports social, physical, and early academic development in a diverse environment.
What Is 20 Hours ECE funding?
20 Hours ECE is a government-funded initiative that helps reduce the cost of early childhood education for families with tamariki aged 3–5. Eligible children can receive up to 20 hours of funded care and education each week at participating services. Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees. If you are unsure how this works at A1 Kids Childcare Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“After two years of being with my little one 24/7, it’s now time for her to expand her world, meet new friends and build new relationships. To be honest, just the thought of leaving her alone with bunch of new people scares me so much. It felt like I am still not ready to be away from her. But witnessing with my own two eyes how ecstatic she is the moment I will tell her “Time to go to school”, and seeing her with so much excitement to jump out of the car everytime she will see the daycare, it is just so unbelievable. Thank you A1 Kids Childcare Centre, Tuakau for being a second home and an extended family to my little girl. Appreciate all your hard work and I have high respect to all of you. ❤️ You are all the best!!!”
“My son thoroughly enjoyed his time at A1 kids teachers were amazing with him.”
“Awesome group of teachers !!! Highly recommend”
“Very friendly and caring staff that help out and go that extra mile when we need them x My daughter is well looked after and loves going to daycare everyday. Thank you again 🙂”
“Very kind, caring and supportive staff not only to students but parents also. Both my girls love their teachers and peers. They were welcomed with open arms and made to feel comfortable from the day they started. I am so happy to have found such a great daycare in Tuakau, nothing is more comforting than knowing my children have a safe and loving environment outside of home. Would never have thought I could let my babies out of my site but the staff are truly amazing and I am so glad my kids have them.”
