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

“Highly recommend this center. It's new, fresh, and specially teachers and staff are so lovely and so supportive. Our twins settled so quickly with them, if you have multiple kids then this is the center you want to enroll you little ones🫶”

“My daughter has been attending since the grand opening of the centre. I love that every single staff member is so lovely and welcoming. As a first time mum, it was a big adjustment for my daughter and myself and staff made sure that both my daughter and I felt supported with lots of love and care. She settled in and now she loves going to daycare to play with her friends and learn with her teachers. Thank you team Park Green!”

“When I first started sending him to daycare, he was a total “mumma’s boy.” He cried a lot, and at one point, I thought he would never settle in. But thanks to you both—amy and Priya,it became possible.so i just wanna say you guys have amazing staff ,so I truly appreciate the amazing job you’ve done. Now, I send him to daycare without any fear because I know my child is in safe and caring hands.”

“The teachers are very welcoming and caring, and they make my child feel safe and happy every day. The centre is always clean, well-organised, and has a warm, inviting atmosphere. I appreciate the variety of learning experiences they provide—lots of play-based activities, creative projects, and outdoor play that support my child’s growth and confidence. Communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel updated and involved in my child’s learning journey. Overall, it’s a nurturing and supportive environment that I would highly recommend to other families.”
