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 Central Kids Kindergartens - Balmoral, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

He came out of his shell, gained a voice & improved so much in both speech & writing. We are so grateful and very sad as a whanau we are moving. Thank you Ladies all the best.”
