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

Parent Reviews
“We absolute love for our child to go to FutureKids Bell Block! She flourishes, learns and experiences new things and is in very caring hands. The children are treated respectful, kind and like they matter. Whatever feelings come up - they are never let alone with them. Additionally it is amazing that any dietary needs can be catered for and all sorts of protocols are followed without a worry. Settling in went very well, as the carers show real interest to get to know the child (ours is not easily trusting new people usually) and keeps the parent in the loop in what is going on. We find it so enjoyable to see our child thrive in such a nurturing environment. Absolutely recommend 🙂”

We have always felt included, supported and heard if/when we had any concerns. We can't thank the team at Future Kids enough for making our child's experience in early childhood education such a fun and memorable time.
