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 Explorers Glenfield Kea, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Our experience at Active Explorer Glenflield has been nothing short of amazing! Our 3-year-old has been attending for the past 9 months, and we’ve seen such positive growth. The teachers are incredibly attentive, nurturing, and truly care about the kids' well-being. The school offers a wonderful balance of educational activities and play, including arts and crafts and outdoor playtime. From teaching them science experiments to gardening.We’ve noticed significant improvements in our child’s social skills, confidence, and communication. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to enroll here.”
“What a lovely centre for kids. All teachers and staff are kind and caring, thus my child is being taken care of with so much love. Meals are included which is wonderful. A wide range of activities are here for every single day. I am 100 percent satisfied and highly recommend it to all families.”
“Staff are amazing, like a family. My son has special needs and each teacher has been individually involved with learning how to help him. I feel at ease leaving my little one with this team because their love for tamariki is so genuine and can be seen in the work they do. I would absolutely recommend this place if you are looking for preschools and early education. Super fun, very focused on learning through play, and very individual focused so each bub has their needs met. We love Active Explorers! Xxxx”
“Nice large early childhood education centre. This is one managed by Evolve group which has many good centres across Auckland. The facilities are near new and well maintained. Teachers are nice and easy to interact with. They proactively share insights into the kid's time spent there in the day. On site kitchen is nice and preferable, which ensures kids get fresh food every time. The location is easily accessible and ample parking is available. Well recommended.”
