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 Airdmhor Montessori, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We are really grateful to Airdmhor Montessori Preschool and all the kind teachers. Our daughter, Nurdane, has had a wonderful three years here — learning, growing, and enjoying every day. The teachers are so caring, patient, and dedicated, and their Montessori teaching methods helped Nurdane become confident and curious. We truly appreciate all the love and support she received. Thank you so much for giving her such a happy and meaningful early-learning experience! — Riz & Zainur”
“I’ve had two girls attend this preschool, one has finished and one is still there..and they’ve both absolutely loved it! (I’ll definitely be sending any future kids here too!) There are so many perks compared to other preschools. The teachers are amazing and genuinely caring, they do such a great job getting kids to be more independent and ready for school. I’d honestly trust any of the teachers to look after my kids outside of preschool- that’s how much I value them. My kids are always excited to go in the morning and look forward to seeing the teachers just as much as their friends.”
“We truly love Airdmhor Montessori. From the very beginning, it has felt like the right place for our children, and we couldn’t imagine a better start to their learning journey. The teachers are amazing, so patient, kind, and experienced, and the stability here makes the kids feel safe and secure every single day. What we value most is how the Montessori philosophy is lived out in everything they do. The children are encouraged to grow into independent, confident, curious little people, and it’s incredible to see that happen through all the activities and learning. This preschool is run with so much passion and dedication, and you can feel it the moment you walk in. We feel very lucky to be part of this community, and we honestly think it’s the best preschool around. It’s more than just childcare, it’s a place where children flourish, and where families feel supported.”
“We have been very impressed with Airdmhor Montessori. The quality of care is outstanding. The teachers are amazing and there are plenty of resources to keep your little one engaged. The preschool has a warm and friendly atmosphere. We have enjoyed being part of the Airdmhor Montessori family.”
“We are very happy to have chosen Airdmhor for our 3 children. The teachers are lovely and very experienced. The higher teacher to child ratio allows for one-to-one time so that each child's individual needs can be met. Exceptional communication from the teachers means that we can work alongside them to help our children develop their independence, confidence and social skills, preparing them for school. Overall, our experience has only been positive at this preschool.”
