About Brainwaves Preschool
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 Brainwaves Preschool, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“I could not recommend Brainwaves more. I tell everyone to enrol their kids here or to join the team. Management is incredible, the team feels like family and the environment is beautiful. My daughter had been there for 3.5 years and she thrived! She has moved into school so smoothly and Brainwaves had a huge part in that. Our family could not be more thankful for making my girl feel amazing every day and encouraged in all the right ways and places. She has learnt more than I could imagine and built great friendships along the way. Thank you again Brainwaves, you will forever be apart of our heart and memories.”
“Both of our children have been to Brainwaves with the eldest just moving to school a few weeks ago. Rody and the team do a fantastic job preparing kids for the world. And they always come home with new things they have learnt. More than childcare, highly recommended”
“My daughter loves Brainwaves. The staff are friendly and attentive and they really go the extra mile to make your child feel at home. We have great peace of mind knowing our daughter is not only getting well looked after, but well prepped for school too!! It's a big thumbs up from us :)”
