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

“Best Best preschool Ever and best teachers. I was thinking my 2yr old will hardly manage there and she will not like the skool but teachers are so loveable they give cuddles and hugs to my cutie and she settle down now. I will highly recommend this skool to everyone.❤️”

“I used to be here when I was a little kid, the staff were very friendly and at that time Sarah was in charge of the preschool she was really outgoing. I enjoyed being with Nolene, Alison, Hayley, and Kerry the most, they were really kind and always looked out for me, the quality of the toilets and classrooms were good, I had a lot of fun! (PS: I went to this preschool in 2012 - 2013)”
