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 Imagine Childcare Alicetown Ltd, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Rainbow is a small caring environment with amazing qualified teachers who really kmow the children. The children's social and emotional needs are well supported along side their active learning. The size of the centre enables all teacher to firm strong bonds with children and families. Where else would you get 3 qualified teachers and only 20 children.”
