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

“As a father of a 4-year-old at Aranui Montessori, I’ve been so impressed with the transformation under the new management. The school feels welcoming, organised, and full of positive energy. The teachers are simply amazing patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in every child’s growth. My son has settled in beautifully and is thriving in ways I had not imagined. His confidence, independence, and curiosity have grown so much since joining, and it’s clear he feels happy and secure in this environment. The new leadership has set such a high standard and it shows in every detail from communication with parents to the day-to-day care of the children. I could not ask for a better place for my child’s early education. Aranui Montessori is truly a special place, and I’d recommend it wholeheartedly to any parent looking for the best start for their child. – Lakshan, proud dad”

The teachers are truly exceptional. They're passionate about the philosophy, and their dedication shines through as they interact with my child on a daily basis.

“My daughter has been attending Aranui Montessori since the age of two, and she absolutely loved her time there. Drop-offs were always smooth, and she was just as happy at pick up time. The nurturing and stimulating environment truly helped her thrive. When she started primary school, she was fully prepared - I was amazed by her reading ability and the confidence that she had developed. We are incredibly grateful for the strong foundation Aranui provided. ....Florence V.”
