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

Parent Reviews
“I highly recommend Central Kids Paeroa Kindergarten! It has wonderful kind teachers, fabulous resources and lovely natural outdoor space to explore. Located at 13 Arney Street Paeroa it’s very handy just below Primrose Hill which has lots of activity often cows grazing on the hill, lots of people walking their dogs and biking around. So plenty of things for children to look at and watch. It’s a friendly and vibrant place and fabulous for this community. I would suggest going to visit and I’m sure you will be delighted.”
“Had the privilege of sending my 2 boys to Paeroa Central Kindergarten we had spent a good 5 years, had been a pleasure to watch them grow over the span of 5 years making friends, learning new things everyday.”
“Such a great place for our girls to learn & grow, staff are so supportive, friendly, inviting & fantastic with the children. I highly recommend Central Kids Paeroa.”
