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

Parent Reviews
“The Hihi class teachers (Aomei, Jane, Priyani, Karen), Ricky the manager, and Christine at the front desk have made my transition as a first-time mother, to get back into the workforce, a reassured one (Twinkle and Courtney too). I trust that my son is not only so well looked after, but hes thriving! Not only do I get pictures of his day adventures, but I am also well assured that hes developing and learning well.”
