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 Galaxy Childcare - Mahia, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“I enrolled my daughter here when we moved in the area. This was the 3rd daycare she was enrolled in mainly due to my work and convenience. Took a while to find a daycare I can completely trust my daughter with due to her diary allergies and the fact that she doesn't settle well. We visited a few day cares around the area and none i felt was right for her, then a friend recommended we check out Galaxy, from the moment we set foot in the school to the process of enrolment, everything was so smooth and easy. The centre manager at the time was lovely and just sat and listen as I explained my concerns and what I want for my daughter. The place was clean and I loved how open and spacious it was. The teachers were friendly and I love how diverse and multi cultural galaxy is. My daughter settled right in and the communication was clear and they knew when to call me if my daughter would accidentally comes in contact with diary products. We will surely miss this centre and the lovely teachers and children. Thank you Galaxy Childcare - Mahia for the 3 wonderful years my daughter was there. She really enjoyed it and I felt comfortable to leave her in your care all these years :)”
“My kids started when they were a few months old & are currently toddlers. They’ve loved spending almost everyday at this centre. The staff clearly communicate with you about your child, if there’s any concerns or suggestions to ensure they reach their full potential and are ready for primary school. They embrace different cultures & it’s shows with the cultural weeks & events they hold. The staff are always warm & welcoming from drop off to pick up & it’s evident as my children love to hug & kiss their teachers. I would definitely recommend this place for any newcomers 😊”

“My little one started when she was 7 months old. The teachers under 2, previous center manager and the cook really looked after her. We had to take her out as we have moved her closer to my workplace. In the last 1 month I have seen massive changes since owner has been on site which is impressive - a lot of focus on educational and development activities. My little one will definitely miss her teachers so thank you for looking after her when I was not there.”
