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?

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 Jones Crescent Kindy, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We’ve had the best experience, as always, with BestStart Jones Crescent. We truly feel the love and care you show our children and how well you teach them. All the teachers are amazing, caring, and love our kids the way we do. It means so much knowing our child is at home and safe while at BestStart Jones Crescent. They love coming to daycare, tell us stories about what happened each day, what the teacher taught, how much fun they had during activities and they look forward to the next one. We would highly recommend BestStart Jones Crescent to our friends and family.Thank you very much for everything, our dear teachers!🤎”
