About Kāpiti Children's 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 Kāpiti Children's Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“What a fantastic childcare centre! The staff were all very welcoming, knowledgeable and engaged with our kids who loved going there! We were very sad to leave such a special place when we moved to another area. Highly recommend KCC! John, Eastbourne”
“Our son really loves this centre and it is unique in it's approach to giving children independence and activities. The teachers are wonderful and kind and there is a family vibe that carries through into the children's sense of home. Food is provided and the fares are quite affordable! Would definitely recommend a visit 😊”
