About Glenbrae KIDS Early Learning Centre
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 Glenbrae KIDS Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We have been part of Glenbrea Kids for almost three years, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! From the very beginning, the staff has been warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive to the needs of both children and parents. My child absolutely loves going there every day, and it’s clear that the environment is nurturing, fun, and engaging. The teachers genuinely care about each child, and their dedication shines through in everything they do. I highly recommend Glenbrea Kids to any parent looking for a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for their little one. It has truly been a second home for our family, and we are so grateful for the amazing care they provide!”
“My two boys have both attended this wonderful centre. The Kaiako treat every child with great care and respect and encourage them grow into their own little people. A safe stimulating environment gives children the chance to explore and develop their own interests and everything is grounded in nurturing the different cultures present at the centre. We love Glenbrae Kids!”
“Glenbrae KIDS Early Learning Centre exemplifies the highest standards of early childhood education, grounded in the Māori principles of te whare tapa whā, ako, whanaungatanga, and manaakitanga. Kaiako go above and beyond to create a nurturing environment that fosters the holistic development of tamariki, aligning with Te Whāriki and the Ministry of Education’s standards. The centre places strong emphasis on building meaningful relationships, valuing cultural diversity, and supporting tamariki in their journey of learning and self-discovery. By upholding the principles of manaakitanga (care and respect) and whanaungatanga (family and community), Glenbrae KIDS builds a connected, welcoming space for tamariki, whānau and wider community. This approach empowers tamariki to thrive, while offering unwavering support to the broader community, making it a true leader in the early childhood education profession 🌺”
