About Happy Kiddy Castle Early Learning
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 Kiddy Castle Early Learning, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“So happy, I've been part of the HKC West Harbour family for the past 3years, my son started in Ruby Room back then and was showered with so much love and care by his Kaiakos. Moving into the Sapphire room was a great transition, and he loved it there. Amazing staffs who make the kids and family feel right at home. It's one of the toughest jobs under the sun, but the teachers are doing a sterling job. The educators are great with communication and professionalism, giving the kids space to learn and play. My son misses his teachers, friends and the center a lot. Would highly recommend.”
