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 Annabel's Educare Avonhead Ltd, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We couldn't be more pleased with our experience at this preschool. Our daughter, Amariah, and son, Zayden had an incredible time here. We originally chose this school based on the amazing Google reviews, and it’s only fair we add our own now. The teachers have truly brought out the best in our kids—their confidence blossomed, and have grown and learned so much here. The staff are not only caring but also genuinely invested in getting to know each child individually. Thank you for being a place where parents can trust their kids are in good hands. We are beyond grateful ❤️”

“Annabel's Avonhead is Awesome!! Both of my children have gone there and we couldn't be happier with the level of care and development they have received. The teachers are the best. I really like how they have development goals which with the input of the family are tailored to each kid. My children feel so comfortable at Annabel's and I feel comfortable leaving them there.”

“We have been so happy with the care our son gets at Annabel's Avonhead. The teachers are wonderful, they really care about the kids, are patient and kind but also down to earth and have a sense of humor, nothing is ever an issue. The outdoor areas are great- lots of opportunies for the children to explore, and time for child led play. We are so pleased that our son loves going to preschool.”
