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 Happy Hearts Early Learning Centre - Red Beach Ltd, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“We absolutely LOVE Happy Hearts. We transitioned our 2.5 year old from a different daycare to Happy Hearts and we couldn’t be happier. The staff genuinely care about our little one. The impact they have made on him has been incredible. I don’t think I can put into words how grateful we are. I highly recommend checking out Happy Hearts and sending your children here.”

“It is the first time that we send our little Felipe to a child care center and we decided to trust "Happy Heart" Red Beach because they give us confidence and security for our little treasure, in addition to the love they give to our son. We are very happy.”

“We have been at Happy Hearts Red Beach for 2 years now, our son has been in the babies, toddler and now preschool room and absolutely loves it. The staff are warm, friendly and so caring, the facilities and equipment are clean and tidy. It’s great to see all the creative play stations set up in the mornings, and we love hearing and seeing updates of what they got up to during the day via the app. I feel very comfortable and at ease sending my son here and shortly our newest addition. Highly recommend this centre 😊”

“Happy Hearts is such a great centre for our little girl. From the get go, the staff have been welcoming, caring and putting our minds at ease with sending our 8 month old. Kat, the chef, is such a great asset and works with the parents to ensure that every child’s dietary needs are met. Our daughter is so happy to go to happy hearts each time and doesn’t want to go home at the end of the day!”

“We’ve been at Happy Hearts for almost a year now and absolutely love it! All of the staff (teachers and management and even the chef!) are so lovely, friendly and caring. It’s so reassuring as a parent knowing you’re dropping your kiddos off with people who will nurture and take care of them, comfort them with their sad and celebrate their achievements with genuine joy.”
