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 Learners Cate Rd, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“I’m so grateful our whānau chose Early Learners as the first kura for our babies. The genuine care and kindness shown to the tamariki is everything a parent could hope for, and the warmth extended to us as parents means so much too. Every experience we’ve had has been positive, and it’s truly lovely to see how thoughtfully they embrace the many cultures that make up Aotearoa. The inclusiveness creates such a strong sense of belonging for our tamariki, and it’s something that really stands out to me. Ngā mihi nui!”

All the teachers know and remember my children's development and personality. I truly appreciate the family centered environment.”

“Early Learners is a warm, nurturing, safe, and child-centered environment. I was initially apprehensive about going back to work but Early Learners made the transition smooth and were reassuring. We have been at the centre for 14 months now and I am so glad we chose Early Learners - the staff are caring and responsive, and I have the utmost confidence in my child's safety and development.”
