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 Four Seasons Rudolf Steiner Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Four Seasons is a wonderful kindergarten, they have a warm and relaxed environment. They really support kids who struggle with the transition into kindy and help them to find their place. My boys have both loved helping in the kitchen and with gardening.”
“This kindergarten is a truly nurturing place. Our daughter has been going there for one year so far and is absolutely loving it there. All kaiako are so trustworthy and kind and create a very calm and loving learning environment for each child individually. I can 100% recommend!”
“Four Seasons has a small roll, strong rhythms, and low stimulating environment with lots of outdoor time in the garden. It is such a wholesome and nurturing environment and we feel so lucky that our daughter gets the learning opportunities there. The teachers are patient/calm, loving and insightful. Four Seasons kindy is a special place and I recommend it.”
“Four Seasons Kindergarten is truly the most amazing place! All 3 of my boys have been welcomed, nurtured, grown and loved here. The setting is beautiful, warm and homely but most of all what I appreciate is the love, thought and care shown in every interaction with the teachers. And the nourishing food served daily has always been another wonderful part of the experience and ethos. I definitely recommend getting in touch with them, so you too can experience this beautiful kindy for your family.”
“Highly Recommend! This place has become such an important part of our daughter's childhood. They have created such an amazing environment for kids to express themselves and grow their imaginations, and develop life skills from helping to prepare food to learning emotional intelligence. They have created a great balance between giving children a lot of time and space in their day to express themselves through play while still having a well set rhythm and structure every day. The team here has been so forthcoming in when it comes to both celebrating our daughter's strengths as well as providing support with areas that required some work. Love this space and will be quite sad when it is time to leave it behind for school.”
