About Brooklyn Kindergarten
About Free Kindergarten
Free Kindergartens typically offer sessional or part-day early learning programmes led by fully qualified teachers, following Te Whāriki and emphasising learning through play, social interaction, and community involvement. These centres cater to families seeking high-quality education in a not-for-profit, community-based setting with strong ties to local whānau.
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 Brooklyn Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Amazing place! The teachers are not only there to teach but there like family! They are so supportive, caring, honest, reliable and loving! I would recommend this Kindergarten to anyone. I am super lucky to have these gorgeous people in my children's life and mine.”
“I started teaching at BK at the beginning of the year. I love teaching at this kindergarten.❤️ My first impressions were the whānau vibe and the happy & engaged tamariki. It’s great to part of a team that’s knowledgeable, experienced, warm-hearted and fun. We build genuine relationships between teachers, children, and their parents to help kids reach their potential. Brooklyn Kindergarten values our community. We are currently looking to deepen children’s connections with this place through local excursions; connecting with other local groups; and nature explorations. Come meet us and see for yourselves! We will make you a cup of tea! 🤗 ☕️”
