About Kaha Kids Childcare 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 Kaha Kids Childcare Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Kaha Kids. The teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and attentive. Our child looks forward to going to school every day and has grown so much—socially, emotionally, and academically. The classrooms are clean, colorful, and full of engaging materials that spark creativity and learning. Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed and supported. It’s a warm, nurturing environment that truly feels like a second home. Highly recommended!”
“Kaha Kids has been amazing in helping my 2 year old transition smoothly into her new daycare. The teachers & Falu are all very welcoming, warm and communicative, keeping me updated every step of the way. It is clear they truly care about the children, and my daughter is already very happy there! Thanks for all the support, I highly recommend giving them a visit!”
“I can't recommend Kaha Kids enough. My daughter has just settled in to nursery starting at 6 months. The owner and teachers have made this transition stress free for me. They are all very attentive and have so much love for the babies. I really appreciate their strong values in healthy eating, play time, and education. I'm so greatfull each day knowing she is in their safe hands. Can't wait to see her grow and thrive in such a safe, supportive environment.”
“We love Kaha Kids. The teachers are so dedicated and love the children. Both my two boys go to Kaha Kids. Nursery is from newborn to 2yo, then pre school. They do creative play, fire pit, take care of the farm animals and learn at mat time. Would highly recommend”
“My daughter loves Kaha kids centre, teachers and friends! The farm setting is what we love the most instead of the noise and Chaos of main roads/buildings I enjoy the fact my daughter gets to be surrounded by nature. Teachers are lovely and offer plenty of activities both indoors and out. The space is huge indoors and out. My daughter has such great days at Kaha Kids! Thank you all for doing an amazing job caring for our tamariki”
