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.

Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees.

“Already made a review but I can’t thank this team enough. My daughter has been attending here for almost 6 months and she loves it there. She has made so many friends and most of the time refuses to leave although she’s been there the whole day. The manager is extremely welcoming and takes time to check on you. Teachers are just as amazing, giving updates on my daughter. There is an app where your able to see photos and stories of your child’s day/week. And you can call their classroom to ask how your child has been. 100% recommend!”

“*Five-Star Review for [The manager Shirley and head teacher Sandeep( All about children papakura ]* Dear Shirley (Manager) and Sandeep (Head Teacher), I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation and admiration for the exceptional care and education provided by the team at [All about children ] in Papakura, located near the BP gas station. As a parent, it is a blessing to find a kindergarten that not only nurtures my child's academic growth but also fosters their emotional well-being. I am thrilled to share that my daughter has settled in wonderfully at the kindergarten, and her experience has been truly transformative. The teachers, including Sandeep, have been instrumental in creating a warm and inclusive environment that has helped her feel comfortable and confident. Their dedication, patience, and kindness have made a significant impact on her daily life. The kindergarten's commitment to providing a high-quality education is evident in the way the teachers engage with the children, plan activities, and encourage them to explore and learn. The efforts of the teachers have not only helped my daughter academically but also emotionally, and she has started to feel more confident and happy. I would like to extend my special thanks to Shirley for her exceptional leadership and vision in creating a kindergarten that truly cares for each child's unique needs. Your passion for early childhood education is inspiring, and I am grateful to have you as part of my daughter's educational journey.

“Have had 4 of my kids with AACO. I felt less of a mom when i put my 2 and 3 year old into daycare at the same time. It was a leap of faith i had to take but the manager and Kaiako's all made this journey a wonderful blessing. My kids now 3 and 4 have blossomed with such confidence. The staff are all lovely, friendly and understanding. They work together with parents to help set goals for your children and address any challenging areas. Best thing about this childcare centre is how loved my children feel by all Kaiako that they look forward to going to school daily. Thank you team :)”
