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 Hundred Acre Pre-School Inc, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“I am deeply concerned about the quality of care provided at Hundreds Ache Kindy. Based on my experience and observations, the daycare appears to fall short in several critical areas, including child supervision, hygiene, communication with parents, and overall safety. These issues raise serious doubts about the facility's ability to provide a nurturing and secure environment for children. I urge other parents to thoroughly investigate before entrusting this center with their child's care.”
