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 Active Discoverers Educare, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Love this place! The kaiako there have really welcomed our family and have made our daughter feel so comfortable there. They listen to her needs throughout the day and update us everyday on her progress. Our girl will be attending this centre for as long as we are staying in the area. Love that our girl has a home away from home ❤️”
