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

Parent Reviews
“Amazing kindy! The team here are truly 10 out of 10, so welcoming, professional and genuinely caring. The price is incredible for the level of quality they provide and my son woke up each morning excited and eager to get to kindy which says it all. If you are looking for a proactive and nurturing place with teachers who care deeply and create a strong learning environment for young minds then this is a no brainer. The activities are engaging, creative and always designed to bring out the best in each child. Their in house chef is excellent, preparing homely and nutritious meals every day that my son loved. It is such a relief as a parent knowing your child is eating well and enjoying it too. The whole team go above and beyond, making both children and parents feel supported and valued. I cannot recommend Happy Kiddy enough, they truly set the standard for what early childhood care and education should be.”
“Lovely small centre. Good teacher to kids ratio. The teachers are so nice and patient with the kids. Clear communication with the teacher and centre manager. My 2 year old son settled in beautifully. Food is also very yummy. Highly recommend Happy Kiddy.”
“This place has the loveliest and most caring staff. I love that it’s a small place, with small groups of kids because less kids means less infections. I took my girl out of another daycare where she was always sick and in this place she’s almost never sick. I love that the staff puts in a lot of energy into coming up with activities for the children to explore new experiences and practice and learn different skills through crafts and play and dance and music.”
“Our little boy loves attending JustKidz. The centre is beautiful and the teachers and staff are all so welcoming. Kiri the centre manager has been amazing and goes above and beyond. Highly recommended this centre!”
“Both my babies went to just Kidz huapai and absolutely loved the centre. The teachers are so loving and warm from day one. The centre manager Kiri puts on going effort on creating new and exciting events for the kids and is always lightening speed responsive. Couldn’t have wished for a better childcare centre to start your child’s first step of education with. Thank you just Kidz:)”
