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

Parent Reviews
“Johnsonville Montessori has been a wonderful place for our son. He truly enjoyed his time there — every day was filled with engaging activities, structured learning, and lots of joy. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to nurture development, and we’ve seen real growth in his confidence and curiosity. Rachel and her team are warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. They made our son feel safe, supported, and excited to go to school each morning. It’s clear they genuinely care about each child’s well-being and progress. Highly recommend Johnsonville Montessori to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching preschool experience!”
