About Jack and Jill Educare
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 Jack and Jill Educare, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Lovely teachers who really get to know your child, very attentive, nurturing and supportive bunch of people. My daughter had a very bad experience at her previous daycare but was always excited to get up and go to this one so we're gonna miss it when she starts school. Thank you and keep up the good work!!!! 😊😊”

“A great centre, I highly recommend Jack and Jill Educare, the teachers and staff are great and really supportive. Also love the open plan playing/learning environment and outdoor areas.”
“Can not speak highly enough of the team at Jack and Jill. The staff are committed to caring for our children, and work hard to offer them a range of educational experiences. Its clearly more then just a job for the staff - they really care about the children, who in turn clearly adore the staff back. We have sent both our children to Jack and Jill - both very different personalities and both have developed into awesome little people with the support of the team at Jack and Jill. We have, and will continue, to recommend this centre.”
“My son has been at Jack & Jill for almost 3 years and he looks forward to going to daycare every day. Their opening hours are extremely convenient as I start work at 7.30 in the morning, so need to drop him off before hand. Most daycares don't open this early. For people who work until 5, they are open until 5.30 so it gives you time to finish work with enough time to pick up your kids before they close. The staff are wonderful, friendly and eager to help. I can't recommend this daycare enough.”
