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

“Such an incredible early childhood centre, my 2 year old son started here in May and he just LOVES it. All of the teachers are so caring and you can tell they all really love what they do. Great food, great cost, great care & the only centre I have ever come across that don't charge you for public holidays! So happy we found Early Adventures! Highly recommend :)”
