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 Harbour View Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Amazing place for kids! Our son had a lot of separation anxiety and is naturally introverted and a lot shyer than other kids. After attending HVK for the last two years, his confidence has grown so much and he has developed social skills which have made his transition into school so much easier. This is all due to the kind care and love of all the staff at HVK. Aside from the care of the teachers, this daycare has everything a child needs to have a fun, enjoyable day - water play, huge sandbox, mini flying fox, and multiple playrooms! Sad that our son is leaving HVK - he will greatly miss it. Thank you to all the HVK staff for loving and caring for our son!”
“The best kindy! We absolutely love the teachers and the atmosphere. We looked at several daycares and have zero regrets choosing Harbour View. Highlights: there is real grass, an amazing outdoor area, a huge room full of puzzles, and caring teachers who really get to know your child. Our child is thriving and growing in so many ways. We cannot say enough good things - thank you for being the best home away from home.”
“After a year of searching, we finally found the perfect kindergarten for our daughter. While we were searching, none of the kindies around felt right, as if they were missing that dedication and care. We got recommended Harbour View Kindergarten and decided to check it out. What an amazing recommendation! She’s not only happy but has also grown more confident and made many friends. The teachers are outstanding, showing genuine love and dedication. From the moment my husband and I first visited, we knew this was the right place. Highly recommend 100% – I will continue to recommend it to others!”
“We absolutely love Harbour View kindy. My daughter had a tough transition and they were so kind, gentle and patient with her. The kindy has a great family feel and there is a large outdoor area for the kids to play. The teachers are amazing and really know the kids and take such wonderful care of them.”
“Been to a few daycare centres and HVK is our favourite. The teachers are lovely, there's a very low staff turnover. Best of all the kids just love it there. My daughter can be reticent in new places but she felt comfortable to get stuck in straight away and never looked back”
