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 Discovery Junction Styx Mill Ltd, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We love Discovery Junction. Our little human is so well nurtured, fed, kept curious and engaged. Nadine is such a great centre manger always on deck helping out and greeting our girl with the biggest hugs and smiles. They go above and beyond!”

“Discovery junction has been amazing for us. All the teachers and the manager, Nadeine, are so warm, friendly and attentive. They knew us by name straight away and my boy loves being there - he has been going since he was 8m old. They send us photos of what he's up to and the food they provide is amazing. Julie, Amy and Jorja in the nursery space are so supportive and you can tell they put in effort to get to know your baby. They notice when he's feeling off or not himself and they celebrate his milestones. Can't recommend them enough!”
