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?

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 Grow and Learn Early learning Centre Ltd, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“My daughter is absolutely thriving at Grow and Learn ELC. We shifted from a bigger centre due to things I could no longer ignore. I was hesitant about enrolling her somewhere else but they were all so welcoming and I loved the vibe in the atmosphere. Kaiako, staff and the Owners are so supportive and loving, they really cherish the tamariki they care for and it shows in their learning environments. There’s such a strong sense of whanau and community and this is what I had been looking for, for my girl I knew this was the environment she needed. You would never know my daughter has only been here a few months she fits right in and has made so many awesome friendships with other tamariki and close relationships with her kaiako. I’m just so thankful I decided to move her here, I can see how much happier she is and how much she’s progressed within herself and her learning and development.”
