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 Maich Road, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“My son had started with Best Start Maich Road with absolutely no verbal communication or social skills, being the only child. It has been 6months my son has been with Best Start Maich Road and he has improved so much with his verbal communication and social skills. They continue to help and support my son in this area and are very encouraging! We have had a pleasant experience and my son absolutely loves going to Kindy now. I am super grateful for such kind hearted staff and safe environment for my son to be in. I highly recommend Best Start to everyone!”
“My husband and I only have high praises for Maich Road Best Start kindergarten. We love how they have a lot of different activities that cater to each child’s interest. The staff are all very friendly and I feel that our son is in safe hands. Our son needs special care and attention which has been taken care by them and would want to thank MS. AMY and a big thank you to MS. KOMAL especially for all her efforts and seeking help from the ministry. The premises has a nice big outdoor play area and there is always a range of activities for the kids. I like how they encourage the kids to build meaningful interpersonal relationships, always reminding them about the importance of good manners like sharing, taking turns & saying please & thank you, to always be respectful and kind to everyone. Thanks a lot Maich Road Best Start Kindergarten team for all your hard work, love and effort! We know how much he loves and enjoy being there. Would highly recommend. A big thank you from Ajit's family 💗”
