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

Parent Reviews
“Moving my children to Footsteps is probably one of the best decisions we could have made for our kids. The staff are absolutely brilliant and we've never had any problems whatsoever. If you want your children in the care of genuinely kind and caring teachers learning solid values Footsteps is a no brainer.”
“This place had a child attending that poked my new born in both eyes deeply then bit my daughter causing a scar on her breast area. The kindy favoured the attacker child being apart of the church. We couldn’t resolve it with the board of trustees and had to leave. Beyond disappointed with how things were managed.”
“Love the team at Footsteps. The care and dedication of the team for my kids has been amazing. I greatly appreciate their teaching program for 4 year Olds too”
“Delivered bouquet of the day $35 with delivery to that lovely people! From Flowersella to Footsteps”
