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 ACG Parnell Early Learning School, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Both my children have attended ACG Parnell Early Learning School and have loved the intellectually stimulating environment and high teacher engagement. I am impressed by the attention to detail and the personalised care each of my children have received. Management and staff are all professional and have exceptional communication with parents. This is enhanced through Storypark with pictures of your child and also newsletters and emails. I would highly recommend any parent looking for a place for their child to consider ACG Parnell Early Learning School.”
“Our little girl loves school, friends and all teachers at ACG Parnell. She enjoys every activities and all yummy food everyday. The teachers are all very caring, professional and friendly. They made our transition from toddler to preschool class so easy for our little girl. We have visited so many school to look for the right environment for our girl and ACG is the best of all! Highly recommended for all parents!”
“We have loved sending our son here, first in the under 2s room and now moving to the toddler room. They're very professional and you feel at ease knowing your child is in good hands during the day. The food, schedules, Story Park communications and updates, environment, facilities (new!) and teachers are all really good! We moved further away but continue to send our son here as can't find anything that compares to this standard of care. Thanks for everything you do!”
