About Bayview Kindergarten
About Free Kindergarten
Free Kindergartens typically offer sessional or part-day early learning programmes led by fully qualified teachers, following Te Whāriki and emphasising learning through play, social interaction, and community involvement. These centres cater to families seeking high-quality education in a not-for-profit, community-based setting with strong ties to local whānau.
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 Bayview Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Best kindy around! The teachers here are so kind and treat the kids as if they were their own. They always have fun exciting topics for the kids with lots of crafts based on what they are learning that week. We only have half a year left but my youngest can't wait to start in 2 years!”
“We have the last week of my oldest son attending Bayview kindy. We have been very lucky to experience this kindy, all the teachers are amazing and patient. They have taught my son to be respectful and kind to others. He now goes to school a better person for his time at Bayview kindy. Thank you so much.”
