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 Future Kids, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We are really happy with Future Kids! Our daughter has made so many friends and is gaining confidence almost every day. The teachers are all wonderful and take the time to listen to any concerns we might have. We also love the grounding in scripture, teaching the kids about Jesus as well as about the world around us. Highly recommend to all!”

“Had a great experience with both my kids attending this childcare centre, both were equipped for school with learning aswell as character building, always had amazing feedback from teachers which I loved that the communication was always there so I knew what was happening constantly and how they helped my children. I will forever be in debt to this place and will send all my kids here and promise you won’t be disappointed if you do. They are a great team full of love for our kids somewhere you can have peace knowing they are loved and taken care of and taught so well!”

“Futurekids is an incredible place - nurturing the potential and destinies of kids. The staff are incredibly dedicated to the children and are passionate about early childhood education. I love the preparation for school program. My kids transitioned to school so easily and I know much of that was a direct result of the teaching and input at Futurekids. This is an excellent choice for Christian ECE for all children.”
