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

“We are delighted to share our experience with Flying Kiwi Preschool. Our son joined the preschool in 2023, and from that time onwards, we have been extremely pleased with the care and attention he has received. The staff at Flying Kiwi Preschool are dedicated and go above and beyond to ensure the well-being of the children. We appreciate the way they nurture and support our son's growth and development. The team at Flying Kiwi Preschool is incredibly close-knit, and they treat the children with the same love and care as they would their own. Our son eagerly attended Flying Kiwi Preschool every day, and we always felt completely at ease leaving him in their capable hands.”
“Flying Kiwi has been our absolute go-to for three of our kids, and there's no doubt it'll be the same for our fourth! Samuel, who's now 8, and Noahkai, now 6, both went there, and Elijah is still attending. It’s been nothing but good vibes all around—from the staff to the way they teach. You can tell the team really loves what they do, and honestly, I couldn’t imagine our kids going anywhere else. Total legends! If you're looking for a place that feels like home for your kids, Flying Kiwi is it. We'll be sending our youngest, Lucius, there when he's of age! ❤️”
“My daughter loves Flying Kiwi! That's all I need. The teachers are fantastic. The whole place is extremely organized throughout a day, with activities carefully designed for all ages between 2-5yo. My daughter comes every day telling me about something new that she learned in Flying Kiwi. Furthermore, all kids attending are so well behaved and very kind to each other. Just a wonderful place for your kid, full of love and support from everyone. ”
