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 Ashburton Baptist Preschool, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Highly recommend Ashburton Baptist preschool. All 3 of my boys have come so far since they first started attending and they absolutely love going to preschool everyday. The teachers are absolutely amazing and easy to communicate with.”
“Amazing preschool! The teachers are so wonderful and welcoming. Lots of great resources and activities for the children to learn and play. My boys love going to the Ashburton Baptist Preschool! Also very supportive and encouraging in helping with any issues we have. Definitely recommend Ashburton Baptist Preschool for others looking for quality care and education.”
“Both my kids have been to this preschool and the youngest is still there and loves going everyday. The oldest one still lives going in after school and seeing all his old teachers. I can't recommend enough to others how good they are.”
“I'd highly recommend Baptist preschool. I've had both my children attend and am very happy with this choice. Prior to this I visited virtually every other preschool and did utilise another. I find that Baptist pre-school are unique because they genuinely care about families, children and their own staff. They are thoughtful, attentive, intuitive, conscientious and give great attention to detail. Consequently, my children felt comfortable and confident choosing from a new array of enticing activities, each day, and they took pride in their developing independence. My daughter tells me that she "loves preschool!"”
“I love this preschool. my youngest attends and loves going everyday, she would attend weekends too if she could! love the values they teach and the time and care taken with each child! Great Price Great Service Absolutely AMAZING STAFF!!”
