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

“Just called to see if could get enrollment forms and lady in a round about way said is he privileged and white from a good hone and well behaved or we don't want him. Extremely judgemental and horrible experience. Would not trust this horrible lady to go anywhere near my children.”
