About Child's Wonder Learning Centre
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 Child's Wonder Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“The amazing team at Child's Wonder have played a pivotal role in fostering the growth of our daughter. She has been part of the CW family for a little under 2 years, and in that short time has developed from being very shy into a brave and confident person. She has been encouraged and supported along her journey so lovingly and has developed meaningful relationships not only with the teaching team but also friends and family.”
“I always describe Child's Wonder as an extension of our home! The teachers make Child's Wonder a special place, they are kind, supportive and our two boys love them. They provide all the hugs needed through out the day and guide them as they learn and grow. I love arriving at pickup to see what has kept them occupied as there are many inviting activities set up and different spaces to keep the kids busy. Our boys come home with full bellies and the menu always looks delicious and nutritious! Forever grateful for the CW team!”
“Child's Wonder is an amazing place to send your little one, to be nurtured and cared for. They have fabulous spaces for the younger and older children and are always making an effort to come up with new fun activities and explore the local community and wider. The staff here are so kind, and really care about your child and family.”
“Child’s Wonder has been our daughters second home from the age of 6 moths old. The entire CW team are professional, caring and we trust them to provide the best care, love and education for our girls.”
“We have been part of the CW family for 6years now over the span of 2 kids. The teachers make the place, they are warm, respectful and so much fun. I have cried on their shoulders and been given advice when I was new the area and a first time mum. There are dedicated spaces for the nursery and the preschool, they have special projects for the 4year+. As an extra bonus they supply all the nutritional and yummy snacks and lunch throughout the day. It’s our home away from home and I’m so lucky to have found them.”
