About Jolly Stars Early Learning Centre
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 Jolly Stars Early Learning Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We are extremely happy with how well our 2-year-old son has settled into his new environment. Jane and Maggie’s gentle approach, patience, and nurturing nature have helped him feel secure and confident. We can already see positive changes in his happiness and independence. Thank you both for everything you do.”
“Our son attends Jolly Stars and it has been an absolute blessing to have found a Learning Centre that has passion for their students and their work. We've been to other kindys before but none of them measure up in the care and support given to our child. Our child is a wild one at times and they have been nothing but accommodating, understanding and help look for solutions. The communication between parents, teachers and the Director is fantastic! We always receive updates on his day and if hes developed new interests. 10/10 and we can't wait to continue our journey with Jolly Stars :)”
