About Chrysalis Early 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 Chrysalis Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“I have 2 kids with the Chrysalis team now, and havnt regretted it once! The team are fantastic, down-to-earth people who genuinely care about our Tamariki. My children are thriving here.”
“I absolutely love this place. My child has been attending since six months old, and the love, care, and dedication shown here are truly admirable. My child has grown and learned so much, and has made so many wonderful friends along the way.”
“Our daughter has absolutely thrived during her time at Chrysalis. The staff are great at communicating, the building has been so thoughtfully designed, and the outdoor area is massive giving the kids plenty of space to run around. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing and supportive environment for their child.”
“Chrysalis is an incredible daycare centre for our kids! Both of them have unique personalities but both love to spend time at Chrysalis. My son has loved it from day 1! Slept well, ate well and met his best friend there at 11 months old. They're still best friends 2.5 years later. The teachers in all his classes have helped to nurture his growth and he's a happy confident kid in their care. He often doesn't want to come home at the end of the day and instead wants me to join in with whatever activity is going on. That speaks volumes to me! My daughter recently started at Chrysalis and she found it harder to settle at daycare at first as she's such a mummy's girl. But with lots of care and attention from the teachers and talking through what her needs are she now gets excited to go to daycare each morning. It's always nerve wracking leaving your babies in someone else's care but the whole team at Chrysalis are like extended family for my children. I love that they love their time there!”
“Sending our daughter to Chrysalis was the best decision we have ever made. She was always a little behind on her language development but since we enrolled her at Chrysalis she has made so much progress. It really shows how much the teachers and staff care about the children when the little ones are genuinely excited to do to go every morning. Our daughter comes home so happy- full of learnings and yummy food from the day. We hope to send all of our kids to Chrysalis as they are the absolute best. Would recommend Chrysalis to any parent looking for an early learning centre for their kids. Thank you so much to the team for providing a safe, healthy and loving learning environment for our children!”
