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 Hopscotch Preschool, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Worst service I have ever had, and I worked in retail. Owner has no respect for the parents and will not go out of her way to assist in any way shape or form. No empathy at all. She is lucky her staff on the floor are amazing otherwise she would not have a business at all.”
