About Avondale College Early Childhood 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 Avondale College Early Childhood Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“The Avondale College ECE has been fantastic for our little one! The centre is not for profit and has an amazing outdoor space thanks to the College. The teachers are lovely and always have something fun, creative and educational for the tamariki to do. Having food provided (optional) is great to have the kids all eating together and having a variety of good kai.”
“My son has been attending since he was 10 months old - it really is our village! Love the bonds he has made with kaiako and friends. Kaiako are caring and attentive, centre is always clean, kids enjoy the provided food and are well looked after. Couldn’t be more grateful or happy about placing my boy here.”
“A great wee daycare. All the staff are lovely and our son is really happy here.”
“Awesome daycare! We signed our daughter up in the over twos room and has a great time. Lovely staff and has a lovely vibe. Highly recommend!”
“It truly is our home away from home! Our daughter absolutely loves it and she's only been attending for a few months now. The staff are fantastic, they really do look after and care for the children who are always well fed! Thank you to Bronnie and your awesome team, there's never a dull moment at our second home! Real quality care, all for the children, truly affordable, and absolutely genuine...not pretenders like some I have experienced in the past! Thank you very much!! 😊😊”
