About Elim International Kids Early Childhood 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 Elim International Kids Early Childhood Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We feel like family. I can leave my little and trust that her needs are met. Great values and I can see the positive impact their care has on her. Leaving your child can be very stressful but the EIK family makes drop off so much easier for both of us. Very informative and friendly. They listen and work with me on learning goals and I can see changes and improvements daily. If we bave another one I would 100% select EIK for care again.”
“My daughter started at Elim daycare when she was 2 years old, and we have had such a wonderful experience. The staff are incredibly supportive and caring, and it’s clear how much they value each child. I really appreciate the opportunities for parents to have input into the learning, policies, and even the food menu. The food they provide is amazing, and the multicultural environment is such a strength that our daughter has learned so much from it. We feel so blessed knowing she’s so well cared for every day, and that she has made and continues to make really strong friendships at daycare.”
“Elim International Kids has been such a blessing for our whānau. The staff are incredibly warm and caring. Our son has been with them since he was 8 months old, and we've always felt genuinely supported. When he moved into preschool, he had a speech and language delay and would sometimes bite out of frustration. It was a really stressful time, but the team never judged us. They worked with us to come up with a plan and stuck with it. Thanks to their patience and care, we’ve seen so much growth in him. What we love most about EIK is the way they care for the whole child. Their play-based approach encourages curiosity and discovery, and they create such a welcoming environment for all cultures. Events like the Matariki whānau evening and different language weeks are celebrated with genuine enthusiasm. The food is also amazing, they offer a wide variety and even ask parents for input to include meals our kids love at home. Thank you so much to the incredible EIK team for always creating a wonderful and warm place for our tamariki!”
“I have a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old, and we've had such a wonderful experience with Elim International Daycare. My eldest attended first, and we were so happy with the care and education he received that we decided to send our youngest as well — and we’re just as satisfied. One of the things I really appreciate is the diverse and international lunch menu. My kids love the food so much that they often come home saying how delicious it was and that they want to eat daycare food every day! The teachers are incredibly kind and caring, and thanks to their support, my younger child, who only spoke Korean at first, adjusted very quickly and is now enjoying daycare life so much. I truly recommend Elim to any parents looking for a warm, multicultural, and supportive environment for their children.”
“I've been having a great experience at Elim Kids with my daughter. All staff has been great supporting our daughter's growth and learning path. They are very attentive to questions we have or any feedback we provide. My daughter loves going to day-care and that is the best sign to confirm she is in the right place.”
