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 Fountain City Montessori Tawa Street, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Love this day care. FANTASTIC teachers and such a beautiful centre. Can not recommend it enough.”
“My child was at FCM Tawa Street since he was 7 months, and he has learnt so much from the staff and has made many friends. Thank you to all teachers for their genuine care and dedication to his development and well-being. Special mention to Sonia, Priyanka, Jessica and Fanbo. He still talks about all of you and misses you. Also thank you to Andrea for all the yummy meals that he had.”
“Thank you to all the teachers who supported Gabriel through his developmental journey. We are at peace knowing that he feels loved and well supported by his teachers. It is also heartwarming to see him with his new friends who really enjoyed his company. Fountain Montessori has a very unique and creative way of teaching. It is very impressive. It is not just all about playing, but it is about having fun while learning. Also, the teachers are firm and gentle at the same time. The facility is very clean. Gabriel does not get sick as often as he used to when he was in another school. It was indeed one of the best decision that we made when it comes to Gabriel's education. Thank you to all the teachers! You are doing a marvelous job.”
“I would definitely recommend Fountain City Montessori. The staff are all very caring, considerate and interact so wonderfully with the children. The Montessori Philosophy is brilliant, we recently enrolled our daughter into FCM and we can already see such a phenomenal change in her wanting to do everything independently and the confidence she now has is amazing. Additionally she is really learning so much and the Teachers are so supportive in helping her reach her full potential. Well done FCM, keep up the wonderful service👏🏼❤”
“I am very much thankful for the help of Rowena in accommodating my baby Rita who’s supposedly joining next year but end up going this week and with the very short notice, this amazing lady has made an effort to help us all the way! Big thanks, Rowena! ❤️”
