About Hobsonville Point Early Learning Centre
About Free Kindergarten
Free Kindergartens typically offer sessional or part-day early learning programmes led by fully qualified teachers, following Te Whāriki and emphasising learning through play, social interaction, and community involvement. These centres cater to families seeking high-quality education in a not-for-profit, community-based setting with strong ties to local whānau.
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 Hobsonville Point Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Very impressed with this centre, its teachers and management are just amazing, understand why there's such a long waiting list, they just go above and beyond and you know your kids are in good hands, thriving, and actually being supported in their learning.”
“I cannot speak highly enough about the amazing teachers at HPELC. They have consistently provided exceptional care and guidance to both of my daughters. The level of dedication and patience they exhibit is truly commendable. The teachers at HPELC create a safe and nurturing environment where children can flourish. They go above and beyond to ensure that each child feels valued and supported. Their genuine care for the well-being and development of the children is evident in everything they do. I must also mention the center manager, Angela, who is an absolute gem. She is always available and approachable, ready to address any concerns or answer any questions. Angela consistently goes the extra mile to ensure that both parents and children have a positive experience at HPELC. Since enrolling my daughters at HPELC, I have witnessed their growth and happiness firsthand. They are thriving in this environment and have developed a genuine love for their teachers. It's heartwarming to see the strong bonds they have formed. I wholeheartedly recommend HPELC to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching early learning center. The teachers' commitment to the children's well-being, combined with Angela's exceptional leadership, make HPELC an outstanding choice. We will definitely miss The amazing Tuakana Teachers! (Glenda, Kay, Naseem, Stacey, Natalie, William) Five stars all the way!”
“I absolutely love this centre as does my daughter! Absolutely wonderful, genuine and down to earth teachers in the Tuakana room - I can’t praise them enough. A very special mention to Kay, William, Glenda and Natalie who all made my daughters stay there a very happy and joyous one. And a huge thank you to Angela, the centre manager, who was so welcoming from day one. Angela did a wonderful job of easing my separation anxiety of putting my first child into daycare (which my daughter didn’t suffer from at all! 😅) and answering all of my questions. High quality teachers, high quality management and a high quality environment, I 100% recommend this centre xx”
