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 Karori Kids Incorporated, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

Parent Reviews
“Community owned inclusive daycare with nice facilities and friendly and supportive staff. My kid loves coming here.”
“My kids are thriving here. I see that they are enjoying playing with other kids and they are very at ease with all the teachers. I highly recommebd this centre”
“My son moved to Karori Kids a few months ago from a Kelburn kindergarten. He's a shy boy but it doesn't take long for him to get used to and enjoy the place thanks to the support, kindness and friendliness from the teachers. We love to see him excited to go to school everyday. He also loves the daily cooked meals by the school. As parents, it's great to see him happy and learn something new at school while paying a reasonable fees (FYI, we're actually saving big bucks by moving here)”
“Karori Kids offers a wonderful caring and supportive learning environment for our son. The facilities are great, particularly the large sunny outdoor space. My son loves all the teachers and we love the homely environment and the small roll, plus it is location is fabulously convenient given we drop off our daughter at Karori Normal School at the same time.”
“Karori Kids provides fantastic child care and education. Our son has been going to Karori Kids for over a year and really enjoys his time there. The centre has a great child-teacher ratio, heaps of outdoor space, and is constantly coming up with fun new ways to play with and educate the kids. Ruzica”
