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 Howick Baptist Church Kindergarten, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We have had an excellent experience with this Kindy! Two of my children are currently attending, and we plan to send our third here as well. The teachers are not only responsible and loving but also deeply committed to the personal growth of each child. They take their roles seriously and go above and beyond to support the kids and their families. Also, the shining star program is such a great program to help kids transition to school. My son thrives here. He loves doing homework! What a wonderful start! 😀he loves all his friends at Kindy. And my daughter had no issues at all being transferred to this Kindy. The teachers really put extra effort to help with the settling. I was worried about his behavioral issues but the staff really supported us through that time period. We appreciated the teachers-parents meeting where we could openly discuss specific issues related to our son, ensuring a collaborative approach to his development. It’s comforting to know our children are in such a nurturing and professional environment. Highly recommend this Kindy to any family😊”
“This kindergarten is like a hidden treasure in today's society. With an incredibly dedicated principal and teachers, they gently yet firmly guide the children through every step of their growth. They love the children with the love of Christ and tenderly protect them. Each semester, there are outings and activities, and during traditional festivals, the children put on wonderful performances. Year after year, they tirelessly provide the best education and maintain the highest teaching standards for the children. I strongly encourage more parents to visit this kindergarten and see it for themselves.”
“My Son was here for 2 years. Teachers are very responsible, they work as a team to support each kid. It may the best Kindergarten in NZ.”
“Howick baptist kindy is such an incredible place for children to grow and develop. I had 2 children attending during their preschool years and loved every minute of it. Kind, caring and thoughtful teachers who put the children first in every way.”
“Two of my girls attended Howick Baptist Kindy and we absolutely loved the experience. We were always greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. I appreciated the integration of faith and learning, and my kids had so much fun while at the kindy. The other families whose kids attended HBK became close friends and have remained so. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone”
