About City Preschool
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 City Preschool, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“I’m very happy to leave my child at City Preschool. The teachers are incredibly supportive, understanding, and truly committed to the development of each child. They not only teach good manners but also offer a variety of extracurricular activities that help in overall growth. I’ve seen a remarkable change in my child since joining both in confidence and behaviour. It’s a nurturing and positive environment, and I’m grateful for the care and guidance the teachers provide. I strongly recommend City Preschool to all first-time school-going children and their families. Its a best decision for a good start.”
“The best decision we made for our daughter! Enrolling our daughter at City Preschool has been one of the best decisions we've ever made. Like any parent, I had a bit of anxiety at the beginning, but that quickly faded once we saw how much she loved going to school each day. The teachers are incredibly supportive, kind, and truly care about each child. Communication has been so easy, and we’ve always felt informed and included in her learning journey. The environment is welcoming, professional, and full of positive energy. It’s been amazing to watch our daughter thrive — she’s grown so much socially and emotionally, and her confidence has soared. She’s always excited about the extra activities like dancing and creative play. As a parent, it's such a relief to see your child genuinely happy and looking forward to school. We’re so grateful to the whole team for creating such a nurturing space. Highly recommend!”

“I have wonderful experience with City Preschool. Teachers are highly qualified and very supportive - they take time to know child individually. My son looks forward every morning to go day care. The daily updates and photos about child activities keep us connected in his day. The staff is responsive to questions and always makes you feel welcomed. Since enrolling, I have seen great progress in my child's confidence and social skills. One of the things I really appreciate is how they accommodated my child's dietary requirements. I highly recommend City preschool to any family. The level of care is exceptional. Thank you for taking so good care of my son.”
