About Akoranga 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 Akoranga Childcare Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“This centre is incredibly popular—I had to secure a spot for my daughter when I was only three months pregnant! A colleague recommended it to me, and I’m so glad they did. I especially love the culture of the centre: the staff genuinely care for each child, and my daughter has the opportunity to play with kids of all ages. This has helped her learn from the older children while also developing a caring nature towards the little ones. We absolutely love it.”
“We've been at this centre for 6 months so far, and we absolutely love everything about it. Maree, the center director is incredible and so helpful. And every care giver there is attentive, helpful, and loves our children. We know our children are safe and thriving there. Our kids WANT to go to school here with their friends and teachers. What bigger recommendation can there be?”
