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

Parent Reviews
“We are so happy we moved our kids to Fame after our boy not thriving at another local centre. Fame has become their second family and we have the wonderful problem of them not wanting to leave at pick up times. With the arrival of our second we found the connection to the baby room to be brilliant. It meant our oldest could visit his brother during the day. Our youngest loves seeing his brother and also being exposed to the bigger environment in the late afternoons, interacting with the older children. The centre is well run and teachers are so caring and amazing. The shows and art experiences are an added bonus. We can genuinely say that Fame love our kids and that's the most important thing to us.”
“Living far away from our families, FAME Preschool quickly became our family-away-from-home. We couldn't have wished for a better place to introduce our 2 daughters to the school system. The team is warm, welcoming, engaging, professional and fun. They have taken such well care of our little ones as well as of us as a family at times of need. We would highly recommend!”
“Fame preschool has been wonderful. My children have only been there for 6 months and their confidence has increased substantially. They never want to leave when I pick them up. We’ve been blown away by the teaching standard. The teachers really treat the children with great care and respect. Each child seems to be cherished and supported to be the best version of themselves. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.”
“Fame preschool have been incredible for our family. Having a child with cerebral palsy we were worried about how the preschool would adapt but nothing was ever an issue and in-fact they went above and beyond and have been a big part of our son’s development. Our daughter has since started and many of the teachers are still the same. The staff diversity is incredible and something I believe other centres should strive to have to ensure our kids grow up experiencing and understanding ethnicity. I also love the extra activities they put on for the children/families including the annual camping trip and culture dinners”
“I could not recommend FAME enough! Our daughter has thrived in the 3 years she has attended this day care. The Fame whanau are amazing; they have assisted our family with development and transitions throughout our daughters early years. I am so sad to leave Fame but know they have done a wonderful job helping us prepare for our future.”
