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 BestStart Delta Avenue, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“I feel so blessed to be able to send my children to beststart deltaave. The care and love they receive completely surpasses any expectation I had about daycare before enrolling them. Since starting every aspect of their development has thrived and they are both growing in happy and capable little humans with the support of their kaiako! As a mother without a "village", I am beyond grateful for the village we have found through the team at delta ave, and being able to send my children to a place that nurtures and teaches them in ways that I can't on my own has become an unexpected priority for our little family! Thank you beststart delta avenue! We love you! 😊”

“We are so happy with our son's preschool! Levina and Sheetal are attentive and considerate. We notice how our son is thriving, learning. They take the time to understand each child’s capabilities and gently guide them forward in their learning journey. The space is warm and welcoming and there is plenty of resources for the children to engage. We really appreciate the team efforts!”

“My two children have recently joined this daycare, and they absolutely love it. For my son, in particular, we had tried three other daycares before finding this one, and we’re so relieved that he has found a place where he feels comfortable. The teachers here are warm and kind, radiating a sense of calm that truly sets them apart from the others we explored. I believe this is a big reason why my son prefers this daycare. Each time I pick up my kids, I see all the children happily engaged, while the teachers provide them with the attention they need. I appreciate that the teachers don’t pressure the kids to do things they aren’t ready for. This approach works wonderfully for my children, as they love spending time outdoors and engaging in their own activities rather than being confined to a classroom. While they'll eventually need to adapt to more structured learning, for now, they're just free to be kids and explore. The setup of the school is excellent, too. The outdoor area is nicely shaded by large trees, allowing the kids to enjoy outdoor play without being exposed to the harsh summer sun. The playground is safe, and there’s always a teacher outside to supervise the children while they play. As a parent, I feel confident leaving my kids in such caring hands. The teachers at Best Start Delta Ave genuinely have their best interests at heart, allowing me to focus on my day without worrying about their wellbeing. This is an immense relief. My only regret is not enrolling them in this daycare sooner!”

“The staff at Delta Avenue Best start have extensive experience, and my child began attending in December 2023. Since then, he has achieved remarkable milestones with this institution. All the staff are highly professional and provide excellent care, supporting my child’s developmental journey. I would like to express my gratitude to the teachers, particularly Levina, Sheetal and Nazareth. A special acknowledgment goes to Mel and Michelle, who are truly exceptional individuals and consistently go above and beyond for the children.”
