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 Kauri Seeds Preschool, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“Our child attended this kindergarten from the age of two and a half until starting primary school. The teachers here have always been very responsible, patient, and enthusiastic, providing excellent care for our child. Our child loves every teacher and looked forward to going to kindergarten every day. The teachers frequently communicate with parents about the child’s progress at each stage and work together with parents to help resolve any issues. Although the kindergarten is not very large, it offers a wide variety of daily activities, including weekly trips to the park. Additionally, the kindergarten organizes study groups to help children transition smoothly into primary school. Heartfelt thanks to every teacher here!”
