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

“Our kids truly love this kindy. I really value my children feeling they can do things on their own, and are encouraged to do so. It has the most amazing outdoor area for the kids to explore, and are actively encouraged to test their abilities by the teachers. My children come back so proud of the 'creations' they have made each day, and I know that as much as they have used the hot glue gun themselves, it was in a safe and supervised environment. It's so rewarding seeing at home how much they have progressed in academic areas like puzzles or recognising letters. But also in the ways they interact with others and problem-solving through their frustrations.”
